Father Juilliard Character Analysis

A 63-year-old volunteer who runs the Pascal Aguila Mission School on the Behala landfill. Father Juilliard longs to make a difference in the miserable lives of the dumpsite kids, but he recognizes that attempting to educate them is essentially hopeless since they’ll likely never make it off the landfill. Most of the people who are born in Behala die there, spending their lives scavenging among rotting trash to survive. Juilliard is particularly fond of a young boy nicknamed Rat, whom Juilliard gives extra food and cash even though this is against the school’s rules. Father Juilliard hasn’t seen Rat, Raphael, and Gardo since the day they lied to gain access to the school computer while they were hunting for Senator Zapanta’s stolen fortune. Nevertheless, it seems the boys are still in touch with Father Juilliard, who’s now pulling together all the accounts of the parties involved so that the boys can tell their story of how they discovered the fortune, exposed Zapanta’s corruption, and changed the lives of everyone living in Behala.

His final act—the one that killed him—was to expose three senators who’d been siphoning off public taxes and stowing them off-shore. They all resigned and the prosecution rumbles on. Pascal Aguila was shot to pieces in a taxi, on his way to testify. Twenty-six bullets—the same caliber as a policeman’s gun —and his murderers were never found.
