Plínio Salgado

Plínio Salgado is the leader of the Integralist movement in Brazil. He founded Brazilian Integralist Action, inspired by Benito Mussolini. Originally a supporter of the soon-to-be President Júlio Prestes, Salgado spurred to action following his denial of power, winning support and membership from those who disapproved of the leadership of the Brazilian Military Junta. He is now the forefront of the Integralist movement in its constant clashes with Brazilian communist insurgents.

Despite having an uneasy relationship with the Junta, Salgado has been deemed the 'more safe option' of the two combatants. He is considered to be the unlikely underdog of the upcoming Brazilian Civil War, with guarantees of success limited without support from either the United States of America or the Council of Allies. Despite this, many insurgent forces in the past have been successful in their fights against all odds, and seeing Salgado and his band of Integralists victorious may just be the step Brazil needs to get back on track.
