We know a decent amount about the friars

(Fray Pedro de Corpa):

Average build. Late 20s – 30s. Hispanic. Haircut close cut, or shaved top of head. Facial hair preferred, but not necessary.

Fray Pedro was a Castilian born in a tiny village in the diocese of Madrid in or around A.D. 1560. He joined the Franciscans in Astorga, was ordained a priest, and had served in the New World Missions since 1587. Since he was the most experienced of the six friars who served the Guale, Pedro was in charge of the Mission de la Natividad de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe (the Mission of the Nativity of Our Lady of Guadalupe) at the Guale capital, Tolomato (near Darien, Georgia), where their great chief or mico, don Francisco, lived.

(Fray Blas:)
Average build. Late 30s – 40s. Hispanic. Haircut close cut, or shaved top of head. Facial hair preferred, but not necessary.

Fray Blas was born in Caucos, Spain around A.D. 1552. Blas joined the Franciscan Province of St. Gabriel at the Convent of Santa Olalla of the strict Alcatarian Reform discalced. Blas had been ordained a priest for almost seventeen years. Back in Spain, he had been called a confessor as he courageously stood up for the Faith there, but Blas Rodríguez did not seek praise, nor even comfort. He volunteered for the missions, and he had already served in the New World since 1590.

(Fray Miguel:)
Average build. Late 20s – 30s. Hispanic. Haircut close cut, or shaved top of head. Facial hair preferred, but not necessary.

Fray Miguel was likely the son of a Castilian nobleman. He joined the Franciscans at the Covent of Santa Victoria and was an ordained priest who had served in the Georgia Missions for only two years — he was still getting to know the Guale and their language, and he still needed a translator.

(Fray Antonio:)
Average build. Late 20s – 30s. Hispanic. Haircut close cut, or shaved top of head. Facial hair preferred, but not necessary.

Fray Antonio was born in La Albuhera near Badajoz. Antonio de Badajoz was of the strict order of the Alcatarian reform (discalced). He was a lay brother and not a priest, though he was respected by all the ordained priests with whom he worked as the catechist and translator. He had served in the New World missions since 1587, was fluent in the Guale language, and was working as Fray Miguel’s translator at the time of the rebellion.

(Fray Francisco:)
Tall, athletic build. Late 20s – 30s. Hispanic. Haircut close cut, or shaved top of head. Facial hair preferred, but not necessary.

Fray Francisco was born in Gordejuela, Spain on February 13th, 1564 to a relatively prosperous Basque family. He was a Cantabrian Franciscan and joined the Convent of Valladolid. Francisco had been ordained a priest for a few years before coming to La Florida. He had served in the Guale Missions for only two years.

(Francisco de Avila):
Average build. Late 20s – 30s. Hispanic. Haircut close cut, or shaved top of head. Facial hair preferred, but not necessary.

Francisco de Avila was was the only friar not murdered. He was kidnapped and experienced horrible tortures until he was liberated months later.
