Los Strigoios Mexicanos

Los Strigois Mexicanos are a strigoic faction within the novel Dark Blaze. They are led by their leader, Grandmaster Roberto Mata. He is a supreme-strigoi bandito who has expanded his territory to most of Central America.

Background:
Originally a part of strigoii who had fled to the Americas after the Neamh-Mairbh had conquered Iberia. Once just a rabble of banditos who roamed around the deserts of Mexico and Texas, Roberto took control of the Mexican Strigoii and eliminated all his rivals within Central America.

By the time of the Great War, Los Strigoios Mexicanos firmly control most of Central America and have sunk themselves deeply into the fabric of the region.

Society:
The whole basis around Los Strigoios Mexicanos' society is a nomadic bandito lifestyle.

Structure:
The Mexican Strigoii work as a cartel. Those within the cartel have their social levels all the way up to Roberto's inner circle, and those outside are associates. Associates are made up mostly as druggans, as Roberto does not favour ghouls.
