Pedro Cortez

Pedro Cortez (ペドロ) is a major antagonist in Kessen III and a fictional Spanish officer. He appears to be based on Hernan Cortez.

Role in Games
Pedro first observes Amalia Van Kyre parading alongside the Oda army. Later in Chapter 12, Cortez agrees to an alliance with Mitsuhide to change the world. On the battle of Hakata, Pedro encounters Amalia announcing that his king Philip II of Spain is poised to conquer Japan and had her banished all according to his schemes. More than halfway through the battle, with his forces getting battered, Pedro decides to accept that Nobunaga is the better man and joins him as an NPC ally.

However, in the special Chapter 13, Pedro and Yoshiaki Ashikaga lead a massive rebellion against the Oda in the last hope of restoring the Shogunate. Despite the large numbers of Spanish soldiers, Pedro is slain in action.
