## Tactical Playbook
- Leverage his hands-on, detail-oriented operational expertise by assigning him to ground-up logistical and infrastructural builds, but rigidly insulate him from high-level strategic diplomacy to prevent emotionally driven, reactive missteps.
- Mitigate his zero-sum territoriality by framing expansion or negotiation not as yielding ground, but as an expansion of his personal legacy and 'narco-prestige', utilizing his strong familial networks as the primary channel for buy-in.
- Capitalize on his high adaptability in austere conditions (insurgency-style mobility) by deploying him in volatile, decentralized operational zones, but mandate objective-based oversight to counter his tendency toward retaliatory violence.
