Forced to marry a bankrupt stranger, Barbara
flees the abuse she suffers.
  Her path to New Orleans features manipulation
and mercilessness.
  However, an unexpected passion will once again
change the her fate.

Leonard – Father of Barbara
Producer of port wine in the region of Braga.
He forces a marriage between Barbara and a stranger to save his fortune,
because he fears that Archbishop Torres wants to denounces him to the Holy Inquisition as a member of masonry.
If this happens, he loses his assets and his life.​

Producer of port wine in the region of Braga.

    He forces a marriage between  Barbara  and a
 stranger to save his fortune, moved by fear that
 Archbishop  Torres  denounces  him  to the  Holy
 Inquisition as a member of Freemasonry.
   
  If that happens, he loses his assets and his life.​

             (Sir Anthony Hopkins – Wolfman)

  Freemason as Leonard. He is Grand Master of
the Masonic Lodge of  Lisbon.
  He  offers   the   proposal  of  marriage  with
Barbara to Vidal, in the  name  of Leonardo.
  For he  is aware  of the financial situation he
faces at the moment.
  If  Vidal  refuse  the  proposal, Theodore will
marry Barbara instead.

  He destroyed his family heirloom and attempted
to get it back in dice games.
  Unlike his father,  he never worked in his  entire
life.
  He is bankrupt and prone  to  accept Theodore’s
offer,   willing  to get the  financial  compensation
that  the  marriage  offers.

  A friend of Vidal’s binge and the person  who
introduced him to the Masonic Lodge in Lisbon.
 
  Alicio hopes that the Freemasonry friendships
are able to help Vidal to recover financially and
push him away from gambling.

    He comes  from  Island  of  Madeira and  has a
 history of persecution of Freemasonry.
  He is in love with Barbara and are manipulated by
her.

  Torres has a lot of power because the Archdiocese
 of Braga dates back to the 3th century, older than
 the Portuguese Monarchy.

  His family served that of Theodore since he was a
child, becoming friends with each  other. 
 
  Today his royalty is due to a threat from Theodore
about evealing a secret of his life rather  than  their
friendship, which no longer exists.
