Tiago Moreira

**Tiago Moreira**, also known as **Rafael Moreira**, was a candidate in the 103rd Process. After being eliminated in the Interviews, he took on his brother's identity and competed in the 104th Process. He is a member of the Cause. He became one of the 3% to pass the process and went to the Offshore.

## Personality

Tiago is a good-hearted person, a member of the Cause who truly desires to help the Inland and stop the process. While Tiago cheats to achieve his end goal, which is to become a part of the 3% in order to help the Cause from the inside, his intentions are pure. Tiago also deeply desires to be apart of the Offshore, wanting his children to have a better life than he had, however, the Cause is everything to him, and he sacrifices that for the greater good.

## Background

Rafael, born Tiago, was raised in a house with 6 brothers, and attended the 103rd process, only to be eliminated. He then, believing he deserved a second chance, stole his brother's registration and entered the 104th process as Rafael.

It is revealed in the second season that Tiago's younger brother, the actual Tiago, stole his younger brother's registration, going into the process as "Luis Carlos Moreira". Elisa says to Tiago, "It seems like you started a trend in your family. I feel bad for the youngest one, from who he's gonna steal his registration?"

## Season One

### "Chapter 01: Cubes"

Tiago attended the 104th process and was able to pass the first interview. When it came to check his registration, he was approached by Joana, who told him that she knew it was a fake. The scars he had were not consistent with the ones normal registration implants had. Tiago ignored her and the scanners worked, allowing him to proceed.

During the cube test, Tiago was only able to assemble 8 cubes. He stole the last cube from another competitor, allowing him to proceed. However, he gained a bad reputation for cheating, making the other candidates gossip about him. Tiago countered this by saying anyone would have done the same thing in his place. The other candidates, incensed by his arguments, started to beat him up, but were stopped by Marco.

Joana approached Tiago after he was beaten, calling him clever since it made him seem like a victim. She forced him to be an ally, in return for keeping silent about his fake registration.

### Chapter 02: Coins

Tiago was sorted into the same group as Michele, Fernando, and the others for the inductive reasoning trial. He helped investigate the death of the woman, and discounted Fernando's theory that the woman had been poisoned. He stated this was way too dark for the Offshore, where things were meant to be utopian. Instead, he pointed out that the choking woman was the only one who was wearing non-silver jewelry. She was reaching out to the host's husband because he was a doctor, which was why he had the medical papers at his desk. The host was not responding because she was blind and didn't know what was happening, as evidenced by the braille book at her desk and the fact that she didn't have a desk lamp. The group agreed on the solution and Tiago explained it to the proctors, also adding that the room's rug was ugly.

In the coins test, Tiago defended Joana from elimination, saying that Fernando should be the one to leave instead. He said that the wheelchair would hold back the group, and that he would rather have someone smart and resourceful like Joana. When the group decided to leave it up to chance instead, he agreed, and was able to successfully gain a coin.

### "Chapter 03: Corridor"

Tiago was introduced to the next challenge by Denise who told the group that their goal was to get to the end of the tunnel in five minutes. Unbeknownst to the group, the tunnel was filled with an odorless gas that produced hallucinations. The hallucinations were too much for Tiago and he became immobile, trapped by the paranoia. However, Joana was able to drag him to the end of the tunnel, with Tiago putting his hand on the lock mere moments before the challenge was over.

Tiago continued to the dorms after the test with the rest of the candidates. Later, when he noticed Agata strangling Joana in the bathroom, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to intervene. After taking Agata back to her bed, he told Joana that he wanted to start a real alliance with her, with no more blackmail. He added that he knew she had a fake registration as well, so she no longer had anything to hold over him. In the end, he told Joana that they had both done the right things the wrong way, but that didn't make them bad people. He didn't care what she did in the past, but he believed Joana was a good person.

### "Chapter 04: Gateway"

During the dormitory test, Tiago helped pull the levers to gain food. When Marco realized no more food was coming and he created a group to take all the food from the other candidates, Tiago initially joined his group. He reluctantly followed him, saying things would be better when they got the gate open, but he was appalled when Marco killed a girl who had been hiding food. Realizing that what Marco was doing was wrong, Tiago defected from Marco's group and attempted to enter the barricade group. Not trusting him, Michele nearly turned him away, but she let him in just in time after he said something at her ear (that, later on, was revealed on Tiago being a Cause member like her). The barricade was able to hold off Marco's group until they were rescued by Joana. Tiago and the remaining candidates were able to move on.

In a flashback, it was revealed that "Rafael" was actually named Tiago, and that Rafael was the name of his younger brother. The real Rafael was about to undergo the process and said he wanted to go far like his big brother. Tiago replied that he hadn't gone far, he had been eliminated on the first day. The pair shared drinks, and Rafael passed out. Tiago cut out Rafael's registration and implanted it into himself. Tiago, now Rafael, approached Ivana, a member of the Cause, and told her he had a new way into the Process. This time, he would not disappoint the Cause.

### "Chapter 06: Glass"

Later, Michele confronted Tiago on how he knew that she was also a Cause member, and he said that he had seen her picture. Michele warned him that he should not reveal his identity so easily in the future.

Tiago moved on with the rest of the candidates, being given his own room. Inside was his mother, who was pregnant with another child. She revealed that she knew what he did and said he was a bad son for abandoning his family. She threatened to reveal his stolen registration if he didn't agree to take the money. Tiago responded that he would blame everything on her if she tried to out him, saying that it was her idea. None of her children would be able to take part in the Process. Tiago's mother left angrily, shouting that "Rafael was a traitor who betrayed his family". She didn't out his secret, however, and Tiago was able to continue the Process.

The next day, Tiago was given his test - he had to get someone to push a button on the other side of the room while he pushed a button on the opposite side. Tiago would have to project images of the founding couple at 6 o'clock exactly. He asked Joana for help, but she said she would only do so if he told her why his registration was fake and that if it was forgivable, she'd help. Tiago struggled to find anyone to help him, but was eventually assisted by Fernando after revealing that both he and Michele were members of the Cause.

### "Chapter 07: Capsule"

Tiago arrived at the celebratory dinner with the rest of the candidates, drinking happily and enjoying his time. After Cesar was poisoned, he noticed that Michele was stressed, enough to tip over an entire bottle of alcohol. Tiago approached her and subtly said he knew what she had done, and also let her know that he informed Fernando of their "connection" of being Cause agents. He urged her to go speak to him. During that time, the proctors all left the room

While the candidates were trapped, Michele approached Tiago with the remnants of the capsule, telling him to get rid of it. The candidates were soon interrogated one by one. Tiago passed his interview, saying he wasn't stupid enough to do something like poison a proctor. Tiago was released from the room with the rest of the candidates when the suspect was found.

### "Chapter 08: Button"

The next day, Tiago awoke to a message congratulating him for passing the Process, and that he had created his own merit. He proceeded to the purification garden, wearing Offshore clothing at last. When Joana arrived, Tiago approached and asked if she had seen Michele or Fernando, that he hadn't seen either of them since last night. Joana responded that she didn't know what he said to Fernando, but that he wouldn't have gotten past the individual test if it was up to her. Tiago said they needed to get along if they were going to live in the same community.

After Ezequiel arrived, he explained the information behind the purification ritual. Members of the Offshore couldn't have kids. This shocked Tiago, who had always wanted to have kids. Tiago waited until he was the very last candidate left, thinking back to the reason he joined the Cause in the first place - to have a better life for his kids. Tiago chose to undergo the ritual, joining the 3%.

## Season Two

### Chapter 01: Mirror

Upon arrival in the Offshore, Tiago tried to work with Michele for the Cause, but Michele was taken away to the RTC.

### Chapter 02: Toaster

Desperate to get back to the Inland after being unable to make radio contact as planned, Tiago worked to get on a team heading to the Inland. However, he was unable to pass the test, so Marcela wouldn't approve it. He tried to make contact with Michele, who was still in treatment, but Michele refused to work with him, instead wanting to make contact with her brother.

Tiago ended up going to a "Pro-sex" event on the Offshore, which was designed for people to have sex. He matched 87% with one woman, but wasn't interested in her and instead ended up hooking up with a woman who was only a 1.4% match. Back at her place, he noticed an antique toaster, which he knew would have the part he needed to finish making a radio. Once Elisa was gone in the morning, he took her toaster apart and retrieved the piece he needed.

Once the radio was made, he tried to use it, but got no response. Desperate, he ran another simulation and managed to pass with a new record. He went home excited to pack, but found the place ransacked and Elisa missing. He woke up being held by several men. He maintained his loyalty to Marcela, even when they shot Elisa. Then the test actually ended and Marcela told him to go home and pack. He and Elisa then went to the Inland together.

### "Chapter 03: Static"

In the Inland, Tiago was assigned to the Process building. He asked to be reassigned to the ARU, but Marcela refused. Another person assigned to the ARU wasn't happy about it, so Tiago gave him drops that made him sick in order to replace him. Once in the Inland, Tiago made an excuse to sneak away and then pretended he was being attacked and broke his camera, so he could move around without the Process seeing. He ended up in a confrontation with Silas, Ivana, Joana, Fernando, and Michele.

### "Chapter 04: Napkin"

Tiago told them he was still loyal to the Cause while Michele was the traitor. Joana interrogated him. They both started to reveal things about the Offshore to prove their loyalty, but Michele was able to reveal things Tiago didn't know. Tiago managed to convince them of his loyalty, but when a group of guards came in to rescue Tiago, believing he'd been taken by Cause members, Tiago was forced to kill Ivana at her request in order for him to escape safely. Joana and Michele watched this happen from afar, unaware that Ivana forced him to kill her.

### "Chapter 05: Lamp"

Tiago secretly took a scarf from Ivana's hair and told Marcela he believed Michele was part of his capture. When he returned to the Offshore, he burned it and threw it in the water.

### Chapter 06: Bottles

Tiago and many other troops went through the Inland looking for people who might be part of the Cause. He ended up arresting Fernando after someone reported him for Cause connections, but when he checked Fernando's chair for weapons, he allowed him to keep a radio that was taped there.

### Chapter 07: Fog

Tiago went to see Fernando in his cell and tried to convince him that he didn't kill Ivana and that he wasn't a traitor. Fernando didn't believe him, but did share the plan they made to erase the Process data. Tiago liked the idea and wanted to help with it.

When the real Rafael came to register for the Process, Elisa learned about Tiago stealing Rafael's registration and learned that Rafael had stolen their younger brother's registration in the same way. She covered for him. While they were talking, a man came up and fired at Tiago, claiming it as revenge for Ivana. Tiago fired back and killed the man, but saw that Elisa was shot . They were able to save Elisa's life.

### "Chapter 08: Frogs"

Tiago went to see Gerson to try to save Joana, saying she was important to the Division. However, she ended up escaping with Marco. He later found Joana in the frog basement with Silas. There was a fight and Silas and Joana both ended up in the frog pit. Silas died in the pit, but Tiago managed to pull Joana out. Then he treated her injured hand.

### "Chapter 09: Necklace"

Joana, Fernando, and Tiago worked together on the plan to erase the Process data. Tiago smuggled Joana into the Process building in a refrigeration box. Inside the Process building, Tiago went to see Fernando and roughed him up, using it as a cover to slip him a security ring so he could escape his cell and help them, then Tiago returned to the Offshore.

### "Chapter 10: Blood"

Tiago tried to get access to the data, but was denied access to the room. Michele then stepped in to help her. However, once they got into the room, Michele knocked him out and transferred the data herself. He woke up to find that the data had been transferred. He told Joana and Fernando what had happened. Tiago then went home to the Offshore to learn that Elisa had kicked him out. He then sat down with her to tell her the whole truth.

## Season 3

### "Chapter 01: Sand"

After being expelled from the Offshore, Tiago started drinking and ended up in Michele's newly-formed Shell, a utopia that's neither Offshore nor Inland. After a storm destroyed their water collector, however, the Shell was forced to start rationing their food. Elisa was also in the Shell, along with Otavio, her ex-boyfriend who didn't pass the Process the year she was in. The other residents of the Shell believed Tiago should be kicked out, saying he didn't contribute anything. When Michele announced the start of a Selection to reduce their population, Tiago easily cut out his own implant in order to stay and also helped his brother remove his.

### "Chapter 02: Scalpel"

As Michele's Selection started, Tiago joined Joana's resistance group. They wanted to use the Shell's generator to destroy the Offshore the way the Founding Couple destroyed the Inland. Tiago, Marco, and Joana were then put together for their first test, which required them to work together to escape a room. They passed to the next round. When Otávio threatened Michele after being eliminated, Tiago was the secondary target of his rage before ultimately jumping off a ledge to his death.

Tiago became worried when he noticed Artur acting weird.

### "Chapter 03: Medicine"

As Artur's condition worsened, he pulled more away from Tiago. Tiago finally confronted him and learned he'd re-inserted his implant into his arm to keep it alive. Artur begged him not to tell anyone, but he got Elisa, who removed the implant and treated his wound.

Artur went through another test in which Joana and Natália were eliminated. However, Tiago then soon after learned that Elisa had reported Artur and he was forced to leave.

### "Chapter 04: Duck"

For his next test, Tiago went up against Marco. They each had to suggest a test for them to face together and Michele would test them based on whichever test she determined was more fair. Tiago suggested flipping a coin, which she did, eliminating Marco. After this round of testing, the Shell was left with its final 50 residents.

### "Chapter 05: Lever"

Tiago helped Michele finish repairing the generator, restoring power to the Shell. Tiago then learned about the Offshore's offer of help following the storm, which Michele turned down. Because of this, Glória led a group of ousted Shell residents to take the Shell back over. When they arrived, Michele enabled the Shell's security system over Tiago's objections. When it threw Marco back, Tiago disabled it. Then he and Michele went to flee. Michele went to a trap door and escaped, but Tiago refused to leave without Elisa. He went to get her, but she refused to leave with him. He went to follow Michele out the trap door, but injured himself, forcing him to hide and tell Michele to leave without him.

### "Chapter 06: Trapdoor"

Tiago hid until Elisa found him and treated his broken ankle. When Michele and Joana called to him and asked him to open the trapdoor so they could come in, Tiago was forced to try to walk on his ankle. He was unable to do it, but Elisa went and opened it instead, joining their side.

### "Chapter 07: Gardrone"

They knew if the Offshore arrived and took over the Shell, it was all over for them, so they needed to hurry. Tiago learned that the collector had been sabotaged, which is why it couldn't be retracted during the storm. They then decided they needed to figure out who the mole was. They first suspected Glória, thinking maybe she had passed her Process but was sent to the Shell as a mole. However, the security feed from the time it was sabotaged had violin music, meaning she couldn't have done it. Their next suspect was Xavier. They interrogated him, but he maintained his innocence. Then he suggested checking the Gardrone's security feed. They did so and it showed Tiago was the mole. He immediately said he didn't know what happened.

### "Chapter 08: Wave"

Tiago maintained his innocence. He believed he was being controlled by the Offshore. They replayed the transmission from that night. They were unable to hear anything, but Tiago stood up and then fell to the floor. The Offshore had turned him into a puppet to do their bidding. They then showed the recording to everyone, proving the the Offshore sabotaged the Shell. However, they ended up being ordered to a cell with Natália and Michele.

They escaped from the cell, but Tiago couldn't keep up with the others and hid so they could escape. Once they escaped, Michele, Joana, Natália, Glória, Xavier, Tiago, and Elisa met to make a plan to take down the Offshore forever.

## Season 4

### "Chapter 01: Moon"

The group was invited to a diplomatic meeting in the Offshore. Tiago, Marco, Natália, Joana, and Elisa went to the Offshore for the meeting while the other three stayed behind. When they arrived on the Offshore, Tiago was suspicious of their provided accommodations, believing the Offshore had planted bugs to spy on them. They went out to the middle of the water to meet where the Offshore couldn't spy on them.

Tiago and Marco met with Denise and started negotiations slowly, while the women went to find the fridge with the hidden turbine they needed to release the shock that would destroy the Offshore forever.

### "Chapter 02: Shock"

The Council decided they'd be willing negotiate the end of the Process and the group argued over what terms to accept.

### "Chapter 03: Fire"

Tiago tried to use his Offshore connections to help them, but got brushed off. He then spent time at the bar, drinking and talking to Cássia. She talked about her own Process and experience in the Offshore and how it left her disillusioned. They then hooked up at her place. In the morning, he tried to steal her security ring, but she caught him. Despite this, she gave him the ring when he told her they were taking down André, even though she said it wouldn't change anything.

Tiago used the ring to sneak inside the security building. He then recruited help to save Joana and Natália along with all the RTC prisoners.

### "Chapter 04: Submarine"

When the group was trapped by the Council, Tiago activated a device to disable those with implants, which gave them time to escape. They then implemented plan B, in which they fled to the hatch. They didn't have the code, so they had to break in. There's a submarine in there they could use to escape, but they could also used it to create the pulse. They used the room to send a message to the Shell, but got no response. They accessed the Process building's cameras and saw that the Shell was on fire, so they decided to use the submarine to create the pulse. They sent out the submarine, which arrived at the Offshore and then sent out the pulse, creating chaos.

### "Chapter 05: Painting"

The Shell group was arrested, but they didn't care because they accomplished their goal. They noticed the Offshore residents panicking and realized there was a radiation leak due to the damage to the power plant. The Offshore residents raced for the submarines to escape. Marco, who had fled from the group in the forest, decided to stay behind and died of radiation poisoning soon afterward.

### "Chapter 06: Buttons"

Tiago and the others were loaded onto a submarine and taken back to the Inland, where they waited on the submarine when André refused to let anyone off. When André learned they were on the submarine, he had them removed and brought them into a room to provide a final test for four promising Process candidates, including Xavier. They were strapped to electrified chairs and each candidate had to push a button in order to kill one of them. Each candidate pushed their button, leaving the four of them appearing dead. However, shortly afterward, Xavier came into the room and woke them up. Glória lowered the voltage so it wouldn't kill them. They all then escaped from the Process building through the vents, except Michele, who stayed behind to announce the end of the Offshore to everyone.

### "Chapter 07: Sun"

Two weeks after their return to the Inland, the remaining members of the group burned Michele's body after Xavier retrieved it from the Process building. People in the Inland were violent toward each other, with different factions each working against each other.

Tiago went back to his childhood home, where his mother wasn't happy to see him. He left to go bring her other sons home to her while all the factions prepared for war. Before the fighting could start at dusk, Joana presented everyone with a device that belonged to the Founding Couple. It contained the ultimate test. Six candidates would participate and whoever won would decide the fate of the world. Joana was one and slowly, Xavier, Verônica, Marcela, and Tiago also accepted the challenge. Joana also convinced André to join, though she didn't know he ordered Pedro to fire on the crowd if things went south.

They started the test, which involved each of them receiving a colored shape, which they alone could see. Then they had to guess one at a time what color and shape each other person had. If their shape was guessed, they were out. If they guessed another's color incorrectly twice, they were out. One by one, the candidates were eliminated until it got down to Joana and André. Joana told the crowd her plan for if she won, which involved destroying their weapons and everyone having a voice. She made her guess, but before her win could be decided, Pedro fired on the crowd, breaking the device and causing chaos. However, peace settled in and fighting didn't start that night. They knew that if things remained peaceful, they won.

The next morning, the peace remained and everyone went to the Process building to gather.
