Category:Enrique Alveras



The young free-spirited bartender of the Card Shack, and Victoria Thompson's only real friend. During a time where Enrique had been struggling to find work, Victoria had encountered him in an alley while he was throwing out trash into the dumpster. He was working as busboy at that time and wasn't making enough to take care of his mother and three siblings. Enrique had been somewhat familiar with Victoria as he'd seen some of her films during his time off, but when she had told him about the joint her agent Maxwell Graham manages in his spare time, Enrique saw a brand new opportunity. He was offered a position of bartender since the last one had quit so abruptly (Only, Enrique wouldn't have to wait very long to find out the reason for that)

Having never been a bartender before in his life, he accepts and soon discovers that it's the worst job he's ever taken on; not because of the patrons, but because of Maxwell Graham alone. However because of his feelings for Victoria he chooses to stick it out through all the verbal abuse and bossiness Maxwell dishes out day and night. It's a definite test of his mental strength, but the money and Victoria's affection keeps him on his feet. Yet, once he learns of Victoria's secret admirer he realizes that she will never see him as anything but a boy. While crushed, he remains loyal and supportive to her' always willing to lend her his shoulder when she needs it.

Aside from Victoria, Enrique also gets to know one frequent patron named Brian Smith. Unlike Victoria's sweet and high on life attitude, Brian is all about gloom and doom; often pointing out the bad in everything he sees. While accepting of Brian's pessimistic point of view, Enrique begins to grow tired of his brooding. Yet aside from Brian, Enrique also notices some other frequent patrons: soldiers Justin Church and William Sterling.

As a matter of fact, Enrique later overhears an argument between both Justin and William where Victoria's name is dropped, and that's when Enrique begins to put two and two together, figuring out that William is in fact the man Victoria is searching for. Although before he learned it was William he used to suspect it was Justin. After Enrique confronts the young blonde soldier, Justin finally admits that it is his best friend, but also says that isn't Enrique's place to tell Victoria.

Frustrated by these games the two soldiers seem to be playing with Victoria's heart, Enrique agrees that Justin is right and decided that he won't say a word about it.
