Ruben Iglesias is the vice-president and the owner of the house where the terrorists hold the rest of the men captives. This also proves that he is kind and compassionate, wanting to protect someone who despite being a terrorist, is a good person. Hosokawa is among the characters killed in the end because he tried to protect one of the terrorists, Carmen. He discovers what makes him happy and feels as if he was reborn. Just like many other characters, Hosokawa changes drastically during the four months spent in the mansion.

Slowly, a relationship between the two develops and they fall in love despite the language barrier. He is an opera lover and the reason why he was in the mansion was because he wanted to hear Coss sing. Hosokawa is described as being hard working, rising from nothing to owning a big electronics company. Hosokawa is one of the hostages that remain in the mansion until the end of the standoff. Coss takes him under her wing and begins teaching him what she knows about music and singing. Coss also gets attached to a child terrorist named Cesar who has a talent for singing. Her singing helps ameliorate the situation and it also attracts the attention of many male hostages, including Hosokawa with whom she falls in love. Roxanne is among the only females forced to remain in the house while all the other women have been released. Because she is used to being adored, she remains unmoved by the feelings of those around her and comes off as arrogant. In the beginning of the novel, Roxanne is proud, selfish and unable to be compassionate. Roxanne is a beautiful opera singer invited to entertain the guests in the prime minister’s house. Sadly, General Benjamin is killed at the end of the novel by the soldiers who enter the mansion. General Benjamin is also among the character that treats the younger terrorists in a fatherly way. He also had a family and children whom he let behind. General Benjamin is a learned man, having been a teacher before he became a terrorist. He decided to join a terrorist group named after a young boy killed during a rally and to try and change things in his country. Benjamin’s brother was a political prisoner who was locked in a prison for the mere fact that he was seen on the streets with a banner protesting peacefully against the government. General Benjamin is a tragic character in the idea that what he does is not because he want to create anarchy but because he wants to see the world change.

After a while, he becomes friends with some of the hostages, playing chess with them often.
