Juan Rivera, also known as Freckle, is a dwarf, as well as the unofficial mascot of Madame Chuchupe's brothel. He is also Chuchupe's lover. When Captain Pantoja arrives, he puts Freckle in charge of making sure that the prostitutes of the Special Service remain on task. The women are to be kept away from the soldiers both before and after rendering their services. Freckle is lauded for his bravery during the attack at Nauta.
