Most of the monster hunting activity in Brazil happens inside its borders, by more or less official military and police teams. With one of the twelve Vile Vortices in the world located in the ocean just outside Rio de Janeiro, there is plenty of paranormal activity happening within Brazil, around the Vile Vortex and along the ley lines that link it to the 'Bermuda lozenge' Vortex.
Not all supernatural threats are localized, however, and various paranormal entities or supernaturally-influenced criminal organizations can threaten Brazilian interests without necessarily penetrating its physical borders.
Probably the best source of intelligence on the supernatural world available to Brazil is the Holy See. The Catholic Church is ubiquitous and influential in Latin America and was one of the first organizations to begin collection of data on the supernatural.
Most Brazilian monster hunters are Catholic and respect the Church enormously. There is generally a spirit of friendly cooperation and sharing between Catholic priests aware of the supernatural and Brazilian monster hunters, although any joint ventures are usually between individual priests and the local hunters, not official ones.
Among the more hardline of the Brazilian hunters, there is a feeling that the Holy See is too cautious and tolerant in the face of evil, probably because the holy fathers lack the terrible real life experience that fighting evil in the trenches of Rio yields. The Vatican, in turn, sometimes feels that tactical teams like 1º B F Esp, the Tonelero Battalion, GRUMEC, CORE or BOPE are too quick to use overwhelming firepower, even against innocents who are merely involved with forces they do not understand.
There is one organization in Brazil that has a close partnership with the Vatican when it comes to collecting information on the supernatural, the
ABIN, or the foreign intelligence service of Brazil. Within ABIN, covered under a variety of uninteresting line items in the budget, there is a secretive team of covert operatives that operates in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The group has gone under a variety of official monikers, but the unofficial appelation of the 'Comando do Santa Cruz' is how most of those who know about it refer to it. Teams consist of six operatives, four paramilitary operatives recruited from military or police SOF, one investigator with occultism expertise and one case officer with local cultural specialization. Teams will often operate with the support of a supernaturally-savvy priest and a paramilitary monster hunter form the Vatican.
I imagine that there would be around 10-12 teams that each had areas of operation somewhere in Latin America and the Caribbean. That means that Venezuela, the Guianas, the Caribbean and Central America will be divided into 4-6 areas.
What kind of division makes the most linguistic, cultural and operational sense?
How would one divide the Caribbean into 2-3 operational areas?
How much of the Caribbean logically goes with Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, as one area?
Given how much activity there is in Venezuela, should there be a separate team for it or would it make sense for the team which already specializes in Caribbean Spanish to also cover all Spanish-speaking islands in the Caribbean?
