Eziekel is the ruthless face of Rocinha’s new generation of traffickers. Once Fábio’s loyal lieutenant, he mastered the art of manipulation and cold-blooded violence. But when Fábio falls, Eziekel seizes the opportunity, taking control of the favela with neither law nor conscience.

Where Fábio acts on impulse and passion, Eziekel is calculated, methodical. He embodies a chilling, clinical brutality – a predator without emotion, ready to crush anyone who stands in his way.

Ambitious and strategic, he turns Rocinha into a battlefield where only profit and power matter. Under his rule, the favela descends into chaos, and Paulinho’s dream of freedom slams against a wall of blood and betrayal.

Francisco is a former favela resident who managed to escape the violence and now dedicates his life to the street children of Rio. In his modest shelter in Botafogo, he offers a haven of peace to those the city has forgotten, a refuge where hope is never entirely lost.

A figure of wisdom and humanity, he embodies the possibility of redemption even amidst chaos. But when Driss, his friend, knocks on his door asking for a risky favor, Francisco faces a moral dilemma: protect Paulinho and defy the unwritten laws of the favela, or stay loyal to his past by turning a blind eye to the danger.

Behind his calm demeanor, Francisco bears the scars of a man who survived the streets but knows that violence is never too far away.

Tiago, from his cell in Bangu prison, continues to rule Rio de Janeiro's favelas with an iron fist. A ruthless strategist, he orchestrates every operation, every execution, transmitting his orders through the walls.

His wife, Maria, becomes his messenger, a relentless voice relaying his orders to the favela leaders. Under his control, the neighborhoods transform into a tightly organized network where every act of violence is meticulously calculated.

But when Paulinho takes control of Rocinha, Tiago sees it as a direct threat to his authority. For him, it's a declaration of war. From behind bars, he mobilizes his forces, determined to reclaim what he considers his territory. In this clan war, there is no room for pity only blood and power.

Tiago embodies power from a distance, a king without a throne but whose shadow stretches across the entire city. His ability to manipulate and maintain control despite his imprisonment makes him a mythical figure, both feared and revered.

Renato is a kind-hearted man who has always believed in the unity of the favela. Loyal and fearless, he doesn't hesitate to take up arms against Eziekel when the latter plunges Rocinha into chaos. But despite his courage, he is defeated, forced to flee and go into hiding. Humiliated but determined, he finds an unexpected ally in Paulinho. Together, they join forces to reclaim the favela. This shared struggle strengthens their bond, sealing a blood pact between two men, both broken but willing to risk everything to protect their land. But behind his courage, Renato hides a haunting secret: he is gay, a truth he keeps buried for fear of reprisals in a world where the slightest sign of weakness can be turned into a weapon against him. This double life consumes him, adding an additional layer of complexity to the life of a man who battles not only his enemies, but also his own inner demons.
