Meet the series' main antagonists

Profeta vs. Búfalo

Profeta (André Lamoglia), raised in Campos dos Goytacazes, wants to prove to his father and to everyone that he was born to lead. Búfalo (Xamã), an ex-MMA fighter, takes over the family business after marrying Guerra heiress Suzana (Giullia Buscaccio). But there is only one crown, and the two unlikely rivals are willing to do whatever it takes to claim it - and earn the respect of the old guard.

Mirna Guerra vs. Suzana Guerra

They are sisters, rivals, and heiresses to the Guerra empire. Like her father, Mirna (Mel Maia) is articulate and business-minded. Ambitious and cunning Suzana (Giullia Buscaccio) is willing to destroy her own flesh and blood if necessary. Who will come out on top in the end?

Galego Fernandez vs. Leila Fernandez

Galego (Chico Diaz), the head of the old guard, is used to giving orders and calling the shots. Leila (Juliana Paes) is the wife who, albeit in her husband's shadow, pulls the strings like a queen. When rivalries arise within the family, betrayal can feel worse than murder.

Produced by Paranoïd, Rulers of Fortune introduces Netflix Brazil's slate of 'mafia productions', bringing an authentic Rio de Janeiro flavor to the screen. The series was created by Heitor Dhalia (Criminal Code), Bernardo Barcellos, who also wrote the script, and Bruno Passeri. The directors are Heitor Dhalia, Rafael Miranda Fejes and Matias Mariani.

Rulers of Fortune premieres October 29, only on Netflix.
