Bazan

authoritarian ruthless opportunistic strategic ruthless enforcer iron-fisted authoritarian aggressively opportunistic self-preserving

Colonel Bazan clamps iron control over Haitian military forces in Port-au-Prince's erupting coup inferno, surging troops to smother rallies at Carrefour and Liberte on flimsy permit pretexts, hauling Justice Minister Ducasse to chains, and barricading the Chief Justice's residence against fabricated perils. His vise-like authority propels President-elect Dessaline's evasion into U.S. embassy shadows, sparking UN observer alarms and crashing crisis tempests into Oval Office war rooms. White House tacticians now target fractures in his army via St. Jacques maneuvers, recasting invasion as peacekeeping amid Bartlet's sorrow-forged resolve.
