Machthaber


Explanation:
Entendo que o romance tem lugar no Brasil. Dependendo de que região, a figura do coronel eh uma figura menos militar que politica. No Nordeste, principalmente, mas tambem no interior, o coronel eh um grande proprietario de terras com influencia politica, e que, praticamente, domina a regiao. Neste caso, usaria Machthaber ou qualquer outra palavra (que nao me ocorre) neste sentido.
