Senor Bella grew up in Cuba, a loyal follower of Castro and admirer of Che Guevara. As a teenager, he worked in a Communist youth group, helping to educate and indoctrinate peasants in some of Cuba's more remote provinces. When he was called up for military service, his sharp intelligence and good Party record quickly qualified him for officer's training. He volunteered as a First Lieutenant for service in Angola, later going to El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Mexico, to assist in the military struggles to liberate those nations from capitalist rule.Due to his exemplary record, Bella (now a Colonel) was given a position of responsibility during the mass uprising of US proletarian forces, supported by Cuban, Mexican, and Soviet forces in the late 1980's. He led pacification operations in Colorado, but his downfall came in facing the notorious Wolverines of Calumet. He requested transfer during the first winter of the campaign, being assigned to a minor post in his native Cuba, effectively retiring from active service. Some Marxist historians have since claimed that the failure of the Soviet conquest of the North American continent can be blamed in part upon an increasing softness in Bella, who was seduced by the consumerist bourgeois lifestyle he encountered in the USA.
