At Mantel and even more at Mantel Military, personal talent is the key. Each month, we like to put one of our collaborators under the spotlights as a testimony to this philosophy.

Rosario is a hero.
You wouldn't suspect it when you first meet him. He is a thin, shy young man, who likes to read poetry and wrote three plays on his - quite limited- free time at Boa. And yet, as everything and everyone at Mantel, there is more to him than meet the eye. Even now, whenever asked, Rosario gives the same modest, understated answer: what he did, anyone else would have done the same.
Rosario was stationed at Mantel Military HQ, in the Boa Region, in Central America. There he served as a driver and security dispatcher for high ranking officers. On the 2nd of July 2048, he was the one driving Mantel Military COO Andrei Taparov during one of the numerous visits the General likes to pay to the Mantel Arms personnel on the field of operations. Gladly for the General, he had the right man, at the worst time.
During the General's visit in a very troubled region of Boa - Santa Clara Valley - the convoy was assaulted. As the General's escort bravely pursued the aggressors, a large platoon of terrorists from the so-called Promised Hand back by two assault helicopters cowardly attacked the General's vehicle. Without Rosario's extraordinary bravery, we would have the sad duty of announcing you the loss of a great man.
Not only did Rosario successfully evade the helicopters' attacks but in a very smart move, he drove right into a Promised Hand area. The General and Rosario spent 48 hours in hostile territory, during which they were tracked by an enemy much superior in number and firepower. Severely wounded during a hostile encounter in the jungle the first day, Rosario managed to safely conduct the General back to base. His first words were for our researchers at Mantel Health: "Without the amazing work those guys pulled with the invention of Nectar, I wouldn't be talking to you right now. I owe them my life."
After a well deserved 48 hours recovery time and his decoration by the General himself, Rosario will soon be back on the field, on the front line, along his comrades, just as this modern time hero specifically asked.
Congratulations Rosario! We'll be impatiently waiting for you return among us!
