Arturo

The assistant of F. X. Caldeira in Maraú. His cousin had helped Caldeira fake her death in the 60s.

He and FXC received a kind, likeable but sad Frenchman (probably Jean-Bernard Desjardins) who gave her an envelope. It seems that FXC never opened it. (452)

Someone came claiming that he is Eric Husch's colleague and he made FXC uneasy. Arture turned him away and sent a mesage to Eric saying he is sorry.

When FXC died, he sent Eric a letter with the news, and the pages from her, which she never had read. He also sent him an e-mail telling Eric of the Frenchman.
