The mission of the rebel group is the destruction of corporate rule and to re-establish democracy. However, a new threat is coming and he will fight to stop it, as his love for San José is more powerful than his hatred for the corporations.

EVA BENITIZ

Since the start of her corporate career, she has made a conscious effort to distance herself from her quite humble origins that she is ashamed of. She became the consummate corporate climber, aspiring to be Samuel’s successor. However, doing so meant getting close to the boss she loathes. She has forsaken everything in order to fulfill her secret ultimate aim, becoming CEO of Zerotech corporation. If someone gets between her and her ambition, she will do whatever is necessary.
BARNABAS
Barnabas is the gym doctor and is an old man who tends to the medical needs of the wrestlers. Prior to this, he was Matteo Borja, chief scientist of Zerotech Corporation’s Research & Development Department. There, he knew Miguel Bruno and tested the experimental Serum F on the wrestler. Shortly after Miguel Bruno’s death, he abruptly quit working for Zerotech, then changed his identity (from Matteo Borja to Barnabas). Now, as Barnabas, he is the chief priest of The Labyrinth of Blood, a secret society that venerates a mysterious being called Daedalus. As part of his duties, he tested the new Serum N on an unknowing Adam.

Daedalus is the living god and founder of The Labyrinth of Blood. He has great powers, including slowing down the ageing process and extraordinary physical strength. His blood is able to cure the wounds of his devotees and he really believes in his divinity. He leads the cult from the dark and waits for the day when he will govern the human race together with his demigods and with his Chosen One… but all this can only happen after having crushed the head of the serpent, the demon that lives in the cathedral: Samuel Pope.
