Edgar

Edgar is known only through a brief mention in Madame Satã's prison memoirs. Although Madame Satã did not consider himself a capoeira practitioner, in his memoirs he mentions some "capoeira rogues" (malandros capoeiras) who were imprisoned in Dois Rios alongside him, including Sete Coroas (who was from Bahia), Edgar, and Americano.

The Dois Rios Correctional Colony (Colônia Correcional de Dois Rios) on Ilha Grande was established in 1894 to imprison "drunkards, beggars, prostitutes, capoeiras, and vagrants". The colony became notorious for its harsh conditions—poor food, disease, torture, and forced labor—earning it the nickname "Ilha da Maldição" (Isle of Damnation).

Among the prisoners, fighting techniques related to capoeira survived but were often called "tiririca" rather than capoeira. According to Seu Júlio, another long-term prisoner who arrived in 1958, older prisoners knew the fighting moves and passed them to younger inmates, but "avoided calling it capoeira". This reflects the continued stigmatization of capoeira even in prison settings.

Nothing else is known about Edgar—not his full name, origin, the nature of his crimes, or his fate after imprisonment.
