Maria Puerto

Maria Puerto (b. 1978) was a Colombian union activist and terrorist of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. After the murders of her parents and sister, Puerto joined FARC in 1992 and received medical training in Cuba. In 1993, her son Paco was born. After the death of her husband, also a member of FARC, Puerto rethought her life and left the organisation behind. She became a union activist and would eventually be working to fight for the rights of workers in the Colombian flower industry, where she would meet fellow activist Leonie Adderly.
After the death of her son following trials for a faulty smallpox vaccine, Puerto sought revenge and assumed a fake identity to travel north. After landing in Ohio, Puerto snuck across the Canada–United States border with Adderly's unwitting assistance. She made contact with Dr. Zuzanna Vrobova of Icarus Pharmaceuticals before her assassination on Tate's orders. She briefly met Dr. Thom Lightstone of the CDC before they were separated during the Alternative G8 Summit riot. When she returned to her lodgings, she found the one vial of mutated smallpox she'd smuggled into the country to have been broken, and she realised the virus was now out of her hands.
