''Bueonos diaz, I am Juan Esteban Sanchez, a new journalist for Canal Uno. I am with an incredible person whom you all may know for being fierceness and loyalty: The Crimson Queen Nina Rodriguez!
So... I am here to get some news from you and, at the same time, give our people an idea of who you are. Elder Rodriguez, how would you summarize your life from beginning to now?''

''To keep it simple, I was born into poverty. I had to hunt for food because my parents were not wealthy, and I doubt they are today. I always had to fight and struggle until I became of age. At twenty, I applied for The Brotherhood. I could have chosen for the Deterrence instead, but I never felt drawn to their ways. After I enrolled into the Brotherhood, my life got better. I never had to go hungry at the end of the day again. I ranked up quite fast. Being a Decurion and then a Centurion, I already had some tasks as a 'secretary,' which I did well.''
''One day, when I was still a Centurion -was it four years ago?- some of my actions were viewed badly. I now regret my actions, and luckily I was forgiven because I was a good asset. back then I was angry because I got demoted but that did not last long because soon Elder Gutierrez granted me the title of Elder when Elder Alberto Rodriguez left his seat in the Council of Elders, giving me huge responsibilities. I became, and still am, the youngest Elder our empire has seen in its history. After a while, things took a turn for the worse... this time not because of anything I did, but because of certain actions taken by The Deterrence that infuriated me. The following years I lived in anger and hatred. Eventually, I retired to Cuitadella Outpost.''

Juan Esteban Sanchez:
''Quite the journey! From poverty to wealth, you overcame everything quite well. Could you tell us in detail what The Deterrence did to anger you? For a while now, they have been consolidating power and their large fleets have proven themselves quite capable. Tell us more about the problem you have with them.''

''To make a long story short, their then Executor, Ravenna Nagash, made ludicrous accusations against the Corsair Brotherhood, and myself as a person.''
''So Ravenna Nagash discredited The Brotherhood and on top of that she also publicly denounced the Council of Elders, claiming it was just a façade. I quote her: 'It is evident that the self-proclaimed Council of Elders is nothing but a pretense for the Brotherhood to push their personal agenda and their own ends.'' Ofcourse that statement is completely false! If that were the case, we wouldn’t be here today! The Corsair Brotherhood holds just two seats within the Council of Elders, and though we closely collaborate with other familias and institutions, we are far from the only ones to influence high Elder Rivera's decisions."
"I don’t care much about how Ravenna's successors faired, but one thing that I find particularly ridiculous is their 'cri de guerre': 'Ravenna's vult!' I mean, we are Corsairs! Not a cult of personalitym putting one individual above all others just because they have a bit of charisma. Pathetic. You can be charismatic, but if you lack glory or honor, you are nothing.

I wonder if Ravenna has even a shred of pride and honor, and I wonder what she would do if I called her out for a duel in the Aptera Arena. Of course, our weapon of choice would be the Titan. If she refuses or doesn’t even respond to my challenge, wouldn’t it be natural to assume she was just a honourless payaso who lacks bravery and only serves her own interests? In any case, the selfish decisions and disrespect Deterrence showed under Ravenna’s command left a scar I will never forget. Elder Gutierrez and Buonocore have incredible patience and choose to collaborate with them in the name of stability, but in my opinion they were let off the hook far too easily for what they did.''

Juan Esteban Sanchez:
*Short silence*
''Incredible! You are certainly not one to hold back. While we’re at it, what exactly makes you lose your temper, just out of curiosity?''

''Corsairs flying non Corsair ships! Our ships are built for battle because we are warriors. Isn’t it natural for a Corsair to fly the ship of their ancestors? It is tradition, it is how we wage war. Foreign ships look ridiculous and weak. There is one thing that can anger me even more... When someone tries to order me around, especially if this person is a nobody. When that happens I just want to kick their culo so hard that they will remember not to even dare to speak to me again.''
