That Pitera dood is such a tyrant

More than you know...

Legend has his great great great grand pa was Generalíssimo Don Juan Piterón.

A very famous robolucionario and Presidente of the Junta de Monte Cristo (a former banana republic in the heart of Latin America). Their main business was exporting mercenaries, bandidos and of course, Generalíssimos for hire to the neighboring countries for a share of the loot.

Particularly fierce was the House of Piterón, indeed his relative, after succeeding in the coup d'etat in neighboring Costa del Mosquito (another extinct banana republic) took over Monte Cristo itself (*)

(*) In the eventual demise of these rotten bananas, the treasury of same was used to negotiate an early independence of the Cayman Islands from the Brits. [They actually tried to buy the island off] -gg-

Accidentally on purpose the maps to the republics were lost, however it is believed these former centers of roboluciones are hidden somewhere in the Mato Grosso in Brazil. The location has been unsuccessfully searched by treasure hunters as it is said that enormous amounts of gold dating back to the time of the Spanish and Portuguese Viceroys are hidden in the vaults of the former government palaces. By now, these buildings have been engulfed by the jungle.

The relatives moved to the USA and the proverbial change of name took place and the rest, as they say, is history.
