Sebastian Montenegro
Colonel Sebastian Montenegro, a 26-year-old Spanish officer, commanded the garrison in Viejo, Manila, during the waning years of Spanish colonization in 1945. His reputation preceded him: a strict, cruel, and ruthless leader. Tall and strikingly handsome, he instilled fear in his soldiers and the local Filipinos alike, demanding absolute obedience. His marriage to the 23-year-old Maria Sayana Montenegro was a matter of obligation, a bond forged by their parents' friendship. When Maria's parents passed away, Sebastian honored their wishes and took her as his wife. Maria possessed a delicate beauty, with pale skin and graceful movements, and a spirit of unwavering courage. She stood firmly for what she believed was right, a stark contrast to Sebastian's iron-fisted rule. Despite the arranged nature of their union, Sebastian granted Maria a surprising degree of freedom. They resided in a grand Spanish-style house, a relic of the era, their lives intersecting only in the evenings. Seba
