A viceroy /ˈvaɪs.rɔɪ/ is a royal official who runs a country, colony, or city province (or state) in the name of and as representative of the monarch. The term derives from the Latin prefix vice-, meaning "in the place of" and the French word roi, meaning king. A viceroy's province or larger territory is called a viceroyalty. The adjective form is viceregal, less often viceroyal. A vicereine is a woman in a viceregal position, or a viceroy's wife.
The title was originally used by the Aragonese Crown, where beginning in the 14th century it referred to the governors of Sardinia and Corsica. The absolutist kings of Spain came to appoint numerous viceroys to rule over various parts of their vast Spanish Empire in Europe, the Americas, and overseas elsewhere.
In Europe, until the 18th century the Spanish crown appointed viceroys of Aragon, Valencia, Catalonia, Navarre, Sardinia, Sicily, Naples and Portugal (1580–1640). With the ascension of the House of Bourbon to the Spanish throne, the historic Aragonese viceroyalties were replaced by new Captaincies General. At the end of War of the Spanish Succession, the Spanish Monarchy was shorn of its Italian possessions. These Italian territories, however, continued to have viceroys under their new rulers for some time; Sardinia would have a viceroy until 1848.
Vicente Carrillo Fuentes (born October 16, 1962) is a Mexican drug lord who heads the Juárez Cartel in Mexico, which controls one of the primary transportation routes for billions of dollars worth of illegal drug shipments entering the United States from Mexico annually. He remains among Mexico's most powerful and most wanted drug lords to this day.
The Juárez Cartel was founded by his brother Amado Carrillo Fuentes following the death of Pablo Acosta Villarreal. Vicente was born to Vicente Carrillo and Aurora Fuentes in Jerez de Garcia Salinas, Zacatecas. He was the third of six brothers: Cipriano, Amado, Vicente, José Cruz, Alberto and Rodolfo. Vicente also has six sisters. All are nephews of Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo.
Cipriano Carillo Fuentes died in the mid 1980s by gunshot under mysterious circumstances. Amado began in the drug business under the tutelage of his uncle and eventually formed the Juárez Cartel by 1993. Amado brought in his brothers and eventually his son Vicente Carrillo Leyva, who was arrested on April 1, 2009.

[Data is singing "Blue Skies" at the wedding]::Worf: [nauseous] Irving Berlin...::[his head slumps back on the table]
Data: B-4, do you know where you are?::B-4: I am in a room... with lights.
Geordi La Forge: Captain, we are being hailed.::Captain Jean-Luc Picard: On screen.::[He realizes that the screen has been destroyed, along with the entire front wall of the bridge]::Captain Jean-Luc Picard: ...Open a channel.
Data: [as B-4] Move, puny human animal!::Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [lowly] A bit less florid, Data...
[crying to her husband, who has just returned to the Enterprise's bridge]::Commander Deanna Troi: It's Data.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Duty. A starship captain's life is filled with solemn duty. I have commanded men in battle. I have negotiated peace treaties between implacable enemies. I have represented the Federation in first contact with twenty-seven alien species. But none of this compares with my solemn duty today... as best man. Now, I know, on an occasion such as this, it is expected that I be gracious and fulsome in my praise on the wonders of this blessed union, but have the two of you considered what you were doing to me? Of course you're happy, but what about *my* needs? This is all a damned inconvenience. While you're happily settling in on the Titan, I will be training my new first officer. You all know him. He's a tyrannical martinet who will never, *ever*, allow me to go on away missions.::Data: That is the regulation, sir. Starfleet code section 12, paragraph 4...::Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Mr. Data...::Data: Sir?::Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Shut up.::Data: Yes, sir.::Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [turning to the wedding guests] 15 years I've been waiting to say that.
Praetor Shinzon: [explaining to Picard] The only thing the Romulan guards hated more than the Remans... was me.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: What is all this about?::Praetor Shinzon: It's about destiny, Picard. It's about a Reman outcast.::Captain Jean-Luc Picard: You're not Reman!::Praetor Shinzon: And I'm not quite Human! So what am I? My life is meaningless as long as you're still alive. What am I while you exist? A shadow? An echo?
Praetor Shinzon: You don't trust me.::Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I have no reason to.::Praetor Shinzon: You have every reason. If you had lived my life, and experienced the suffering of my people, you'd be standing where I am.::Captain Jean-Luc Picard: And if you had lived my life, you would understand my responsibility to the Federation.
Commander Suran: We supported you, Shinzon, when you assassinated the Senate. You told us the timing was perfect for an attack on the Federation. I don't understand why now you delay.::Praetor Shinzon: You don't have to understand.::Commander Suran: And bringing the Enterprise here? What possible purpose could that serve?::Praetor Shinzon: I have a purpose.::Commander Suran: Then perhaps you'll enlighten us?::Praetor Shinzon: [snarls] Silence, Romulan!::[composes himself]::Praetor Shinzon: [calmly] You really must learn patience, Commander. Spend eighteen hours every day under the lash of a Romulan guard and you'll soon understand patience.
