Padre Rafael

Padre Rafael was one of the suspects during the murder investigation of a Bayou Bleu local named Sammy Duncan in Death by Moonshine (Case #65, or Case #9 of Pacific Bay).

Profile
Padre Rafael is a 70-year old Bayou Bleu priest, supposedly of Hispanic heritage, who sports dark grey hair extending to the length of his shoulders and wears a quasi-Pilgrim hat (with a brown belt) to cover his hair. Padre Rafael wears spectacles, has a mustache on his face, and wears an unorthodox black priest coat on top of his white shirt. Padre Rafael is seen carrying a Holy Bible with him at all times and is known to use eggs, consume moonshine, and play dominoes.

Role in Case(s)
Padre Rafael is a priest who mainly serves in Bayou Bleu of Pacific Bay.

Padre found himself in the red when the team found a Children's Bible with a dedicatory note forensically dusted inside Sammy's Boat. Padre told the team he knew the victim when Sammy was little but Sammy didn't care about faith as much as he loved to drink and run scams throughout the Bayou--grounds for Padre to visit Sammy every week, in this case every time Padre visited Sammy he would offer the priest moonshine, and even admitted he enjoyed Vanessa Kimmel's huevos rancheros but notices something was wrong with the troubled woman. He fears today's children of Bayou Bleu lose their way much easier than in the past.

Padre was approached by the team a second time after both him and Joe Littlehat were caught pointing guns at each other and both were instructed by Frank Knight to put their guns down and permit the player a second look at Sammy's Boat followed by a chit-chat with both, in which Joe accused Padre of cheating in a game of dominoes.

Padre admits he cheated in a game of dominoes but Frank wanted to know whether or not Padre killed Sammy, in which the guilt was not because of homicide, but instead of his addiction to a game of dominoes or two. Padre continued by telling the team he needed to lead by example, and how he failed Sammy and Vanessa as a leader, but as a priest, Padre was against killing--a revelation that proved him innocent at the close of the case.

Padre had to intervene after Frank was bitten by a snake during his orders to investigate remnants of Sammy's illicit moonshinery, requiring the player to find an antidote to cure the venom Frank contracted, and verified by Yann Toussaint as a safe medicine to cure Frank's condition--a feat in which Chief Marquez thought was reckless on Frank's end.
