Character

Nelson Guerra

commanding unyielding strategic ruthless

Nelson Guerra grips the reins of CRF insurgency, hurling ultimatums from rebel shadows: free drug lord Aguilar from Colombian steel, or DEA hostages bleed in Villa Cerreno's grip. Mickey stakes diplomatic bridges on his Jeffe alliance, but Leo starves on intel scraps as Guerra's demands—prisoner swap for captured agents—slash through Situation Room fault lines. His web ensnares 19 U.S. assets against 600 guards, thrusting Bartlet's circle into diplomacy's razor vise where torture looms and C-141s pierce skies, his silhouette fueling the drug war's merciless churn.
