History Characters / AguilaRoja

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Before as the leader of a band of outlaws and now as King Philippe IV's adviser, he shows everybody why he is in charge.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is not the Sheriff without reasons. With all his flaws, Hernán can kick and whip asses.

-->Listen to me, I may have an idiot's face, but I am not one. I want to help you, [[PrecisionFStrike fuck!]]

* BerserkButton: Threaten any of his loved ones, especially Alonso, Margarita or Sátur, and you will have a hard time.

* BerserkButton: Hurting Gabi, Alonso or his master.

* NiceHat: Is rarely seen without his cardinal red biretta, though also dons a black ''chapeo'' or broad-brimmed hat when goes incognito.

* StaticCharacter: He stops receiving CharacterDevelopment after losing his inn, unless that getting more and more violent and angry counts as development. It only kicks forward again in Season 9, where he seems to have cooled down a bit.

* KnifeNut: His signature weapon, even when facing sword-wielding opponents, is his trusty Albacetian navaja.

* RaisedCatholic: A devout Christian as per norm at the time, though he apparently believes more in the essence than the laws of the church.

* BeautyMark: Has several across her face.

* BaldOfAwesome: Not at the start of the series, but later the actor gained a very receding hairline.

* BaldOfEvil

* BaldOfEvil: Has almost no hair under his hat.

-->"FREEDOM! FRESH AIR!" ''[casually notices Lucrecia next to him, horrified at seeing that he is not Hernán]'' [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers "And a beautiful woman.]] What else can you ask for?"

->'''Played by:''' Javier Gutiérrez

* YourCheatingHeart: Gets in love affairs with Juan and the father Adrián, especially in the former’s case, despite having a flame for Gonzalo.

* YourCheatingHeart: She is indecisive about Gonzalo, and believes herself to be in love with him, but at the same time she does not want to kick Hernán away.

* YourCheatingHeart: Though she is married to Hernán, she has affairs with gardener Martín and later with Nuño.

* {{Adorkable}}: Gets his dorky moments when trying to bed Olivia, who is actually trying to seduce him.

* ShaggySearchTechnique: Not kidding, he could outshaggy Shaggy himself at this.

* TookALevelInJerkass[=/=]TheDogBitesBack: Fakes a reward edict against Lucrecia to get revenge for forcing her to abort her son, which she does not anyways. Catalina later regrets deeply, but it marks a point. Whether it was a reasonable feeling, given that she was going to be publicity pregnant of a man who wasn't her supposedly alive husband in a time where that was a big no-no, is up to YMMV.

* BuryYourGays: [[spoiler:She is a lesbian (or perhaps bisexual, it's never stated) and gets judged by UsefulNotes/TheSpanishInquisition when Hernán outs her. Barely averted because Lucrecia welcomes her back for her loyalty after her punishments.]] %%To be moved to OutOfTheClosetAndIntoTheLineOfFire when that is launched.

* SecretKeeper: Gets entrusted unusually fast the existence of Lucrecia’s son with the King. [[spoiler:She herself has some dark secret as well.]]

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Hernán is much more known simply as The Sheriff, and only Lucrecia calls him for any of his names. He needed at least two season to get known to viwers by his full name, as even official materials for Season 1 refered to him as The Sheriff.
* FashionableAsymmetry: His uniform jacket is patterned after a fencing protective gear, featuring a mail in the left side of the chest.

* GlassCannon: He has excellent aim with guns and is good enough of a swordsman to put a fight against Águila Roja and, but unlike him, Hernán is not very agile nor resilient, and fares poorly when outnumbered or unarmed.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is cold, distant and tough-hearted, but also tries to be a good father (a sort of) and lover (also a sort of).

** TheStarscream: However, Pedro unexpectedly doesn’t hesitate a second to backstab Hernán and try to get his job as sheriff, accusing him of not being a good one in charge.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: An even worse example than his boss, as virtually no supplementary material to date has him listed by name, only as "Lieutenant" or some variation.

* TookALevelInJerkass: As mentioned, he downright betrays Hernán when he has the opportunity to get his job. It feels sudden, as Pedro is never shown to be that scheming or unloyal at all - quite the opposite, considering he was the only guard who stayed with Hernán when all the other left him.

* NoNameGiven: We are never told his name, if he has. Even when Lucrecia jokes about sleeping with him, she only calls him "the bald jailer".

* TortureTechnician: He is clearly not very intellectual or subtle, but he surely knows how to inflict pain, and is in charge of it.

* MamaBear: Even although she shows plenty of doubts about her heir, she is willing to do anything to secure her son will be sitting on the throne some day.

* {{Adorkable}}: Gets his moment when trying to bed Olivia, who is actually trying to seduce him.

* BadassPreacher: May not evidence it, but the guy knows how to handle guns and swords and does not fear to fight personally. He kills Agustín offscreen and almost finishes off Father Adrián, both of them being noted to be very capable fighters, and in the former’s case possibly as dangerous as Gonzalo himself. (Evidently, it’s not known if the Cardinal fought Agustín alone or backed by a cohort of guards, but it is still quite of a feat.)

* BigBad: Zig-zagged. He starts as the new main antagonist when The Lodge is taken out, but after seasons, his goals made him clash less with the heroes and more with other baddies like Hernán or Malasangre, to the point that he almost seems to have forgotten Águila Roja altogether. While he was until the end the most powerful villain next to the King, his role as antagonist was diffuse.
* ChurchgoingVillain: He really believes in God and more or less champions for the Christianity, but is more focused in doing it in his own way to do it rather than through the Commandments.

* FatBastard: He is quite stout, as fit for a Spanish churchman.

* StoutStrength: Is surprisingly, almost inhumanly strong for someone his age and presumable lifestyle.

** EvilIsHammy: He sporadically can get a bit hammier when excited, like when he escapes the royal prison.

* DrivenToSuicide: At the series's finale, [[spoiler:he suddenly chooses to turn against the King and empty his guns on the royal guard, being fastly gunned down by them.]]

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Even for a powerful mind like his, Ventura looks genuinely puzzled when Margarita offers her body to him in exchange for bringing back Gonzalo, and becomes interested in her reasons to do it. It is almost a PetTheDog point that he never claims his part of the treat after recovering from his illness. Later, he possibly has a change of heart towards one of his lovers when he is going to be executed for her fault, choosing to live after seeing her remorseful face.
** It later comes to him in what is possibly a brilliant example of DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:not being able to save Gonzalo, Malasangre commits SuicideByCop during his execution - just a moment before the audience causes a riot which helps Gonzalo to escape. Being the cynic he was, Ventura probably never believed that the common people were going to rise up against the established power on Gonzalo's behalf.]]

* GoOutWithASmile: Invoked in his establishing claim that he will die smiling, and later demonstrated with a ecstatic grin in any situation he thinks he is about to die. However, interestingly, [[spoiler:it is averted at the end: he doesn't smile when he dies for real.]]

* ImAHumanitarian: Not only he is good killing people with his teeth, but he also fests on his preys. The guy merrily talks about how he once devoured an Amazonian indigenous chief who ironically wanted to eat him alive first.

* LimitedWardrobe: Not unusual on the series, but he is an interesting example because he keeps the tattered, ragged clothes he wore when he was brought chained before the King. He eventually changes them for a newer version of the clothes.
* ManipulativeBastard: When he is imprisoned along Hernán, he tells him and Lucrecia an escape plan for her to get Hernán out, appearing selfless, but only for him to supplant his place and then ride away.

* RedBaron: "Malasangre", which can be translated "Evil/Bad/Ill Blood". Even the King's servants refer to him as such.

* OldMaster: Best Águila Roja in a brief kung fu scuffle at a first encounter.

* {{Expy}}: An incredibly obvious one to [[Franchise/StarWars Obi-Wan Kenobi]] from ''Film/ANewHope'', both visually (white-bearded, brown robe with a dramatical hood, crazy good in fighting) as in role (wise master who gets killed by a villain withholding vital info for the hero).
* FullNameBasis: He prefers to refer to Sátur as Saturno.

* SacrificialLion: Despite his jedi-like badassery, he is offscreen executed by the Cardinal Mendoza.have been this before Gonzalo met Sátur.

* OnlyOneName: Quite weird, as he only receives a first name despite being said along his captain rank. Unless Rodrigo is his last name, of course.

* EvilCounterpart: To Águila Roja, naturally. Best exemplified by her black clothes as opposed to his red and white costume (at the time, the black and red version which caught for the rest of the series hadn't been introduced) and their fighting tactics.
* ExoticWeaponSupremacy: Utilizes a kusarigama, a ninja weapon very rarely seen in Spanish popular culture, and it serves well to get free hits both against Gonzalo and Sátur.

* GlassCannon: She is in fact more skilled than Gonzalo in swordfighting, but lacks his ability to dodge bullets, [[spoiler: which proves to be fatal.]]

* McNinja: As seen in her name and accent, she is Chinese, and yet a kunoichi.

* TheWorfEffect: Despite being built as Gonzalo's superior, she is killed rather easily by Hernán when he decided that two ninja instead of one is too much of a problem.

* TheAtoner: He looks upset upon revealing himself to Sátur and telling him that he is not the son of the duke, but a servant like him. It’s never revealed why he abandoned Sátur and his mother (assuming that he knew about his existence), but he appears to be sorry for the life his son had to endure.
* BusCrash: After appearing in one episode, he dies a time after without ever returning.
* InformedAbility: He is said to play the lute, which Sátur receives.

A retired law enforcer from Castro Urdiales. He comes to the city to visit his old friend Sátur, but instead ends helping Gonzalo to track down the Fake Águila Roja. After resolving the case by assisting with his smarts and pure guts, he leaves without getting to see Sátur again, revealing [[spoiler:that he is terminally ill]] and thanking Águila for making him live this last adventure.

* AwesomeByAnalysis: As expected from a man of his profession, he deducts Gonzalo's involvement with the bloody incidents by just seeing his reactions, and later helps him with his investigation to find the impostor's house.
* CoolOldGuy: Despite his age, is still able to climb a mountain and zip-line his way to the prison, as well as work some brawl.
* CulturedBadass: Not only he is well-read, he surprisingly knows what a shuriken is and even talks a bit of Chinese. The latter is, according to him, because he knew some Chinese bakers back in his village.
* TheCynic: Subverted. The old guy doesn't fool himself about the reality of the world he lives in, but unlike most of examples, he believes that there is good people and that it's their task to fight evil.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Wears in all black, and his attitude can make him be creepy and unpleasant at times, but he is solidly in the side of good.

* GoodIsNotSoft: Is pretty harsh-spoken and brash, not counting his constant swearing, but he is a guy to trust.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Doesn’t waste time in colorfully cursing himself to get Gonzalo to listen to him.
* TheKetchupTest: Once in the prison’s torture chamber, he nonchalantly collects some blood from a severed arm with his fingertips. He fortunately doesn’t taste it, but he still examines it before casting it aside, only mildly disgusted.

* NonActionGuy: Defied. Santiago is clearly not a physical fighter, and he actually gets them captured when is held at dagger point by the warden, but he still shows that he is no slouch either. He knocks out a guard by clocking him with a ''[[ImprobableWeaponUser pear of anguish]]'', and later is perfectly willing to fight the Fake Águila Roja by himself with Gonzalo’s double naginata.
* OddFriendship: Funny how a law enforcer like Santiago can be close friends with a rogue like Sátur, especially with their respective personalities. According to him, he met Sátur for the first time when he imprisoned him for stealing, and after they talked for a time due to Merino’s boredom, Sátur gave him advice which ended saving his matrimony, making Santiago release him in gratitude.

* SecretKeeper: Is to date the only person Gonzalo has voluntarily revealed his identity as Águila.

* AlmightyJanitor: His background is unknown, but he was probably just a peasant man, with few resources and possibly even illiterate, as it was the norm in the Spain of the time. However, he also happens to be an evil mastermind who built a trap endowed with improbably advanced technology and a revenge plan every bit as complex as succesful.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:He was a peasant arrested for some reason and then imprisoned in a sort of privatized jail where he was creatively tortured for years. The man, probably already DrivenToMadness, gained a hate for the people's hero Águila Roja because he never came to rescue him, and after he escaped the prison, he sought vengeance against him.]]
* DecapitationPresentation: An even worse example than a severed head: he sends Gonzalo a box of ''visceras'' ripped apart from his victims.

* EvilKnockoff: Self-made of Águila Roja. He is even difficult to tell apart visually from him – his costume is almost identical, and he knows how to use his weapons. However, you can also see that he is physically bigger than Gonzalo and his fighting style is rougher and more pedestrian.

* GeniusBruiser: He concocts a succesful plan to catch Águila Roja and later puts a fight against him.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Unlike the original Águila, he doesn’t know martial arts, and it shows in his bar room brawl punches when he goes against Gonzalo in close quarters.
* KnightOfCerebus: In a series like ''Águila Roja'' where deaths and butcherings are in the everyday, this guy manages to '''blow''' the standard of psychos and dark characters introduces until the point.
* HiddenInPlainSight: His lair is on the same house he lived in before being imprisoned. The guards probably never thought of looking there, assuming that they were actually searching for the escapee, which is dubious given the unusual nature of the prison.
* MouthStitchedShut: What he does to the kidnapped man dressed as Águila he leaves behind as a warning. The maan has his mouth horribly stitched shut, and judging for his moans he is ''desperately'' trying to speak out.

* RoomFullOfCrazy: His house is full of pliegos de cordel or newspapers of the time talking about Águila Roja and his rescues, showing his obsession and insanity.

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: His eyes seem to be yellow when he shows himself to Gonzalo and Sátur, although it could be a visual effect.

* UnskilledButStrong: As mentioned, he doesn't enjoy Gonzalo's skills and knowledge, but he makes for it with plenty of both strength and intelligence.

* TheStoner: He takes cannabis to cure his apparent epilepsy.

* LovableRogue: What clearly he is trying to make himself.

->'''Played by:''' Erika Sanz

* BuryYourGays: [[spoiler:She is a lesbian (or perhaps bisexual, it's never stated) and gets judged by UsefulNotes/TheSpanishInquisition when Hernán outs her. Barely averted because Lucrecia welcomes her back for her loyalty after her punishments.]]

* BadassGrandpa: Best Águila Roja in a brief kung fu scuffle at a first encounter.

* BadassGrandpa: Despite his age, is still able to climb a mountain and zip-line his way to the prison, as well as work some brawl.
* CoolOldGuy

* ARealManIsAKiller: Seems to have zig-zagging views on the trope when it involves other people like Nuño, but he applies it to himself thoroughly.

[[Cardinal Mendoza]]

* TookALevelInJerkass[=/=]TheDogBitesBack: Fakes a reward order against Lucrecia to get revenge on her for forcing her to abort her son, which she does not anyways. She later regrets deeply, but it marks a point. Whether it was a reasonable feeling, given that she was going to be publicity pregnant of a man who wasn’t her supposedly alive husband, is up to YMMV.

Lucrecia’s new maid and housekeeper, come in Season 7 to replace Catalina [[spoiler:after her death.]] A stern figure in black often found at the background. [[spoiler:She is revealed to be in love with Lucrecia from before serving her.]]

* SilentSnarker: To Lucrecia’s chagrin.

->'''Played by:''' Marta Calle.

* GlassCannon: He is good enough of a swordsman to put a fight against Águila Roja and has excellent aiming skills with guns, but unlike him, he is not very agile nor resilient, and fares poorly when outnumbered or unarmed.

* EvilIsBigger: Pretty tall and big, and that even considering that he hunchs a bit.

* TortureTechnician: He is clearly not very intellectual or subtle, but he surely knows how to inflict pain, and he is in charge of it.

[[folder:The Cardinal Mendoza]]

* [[spoiler:AssholeVictim: The Marchioness kills him in the series finale.]]

* BigBad: Zig-zagged. He starts as the new main antagonist when The Lodge is taken out, but after seasons, his goals made him clash less with the heroes and more with other baddies like Hernán or Malasangre, to the point that he almost seems to have forgotten Águila Roja altogether. Currently, while he is perhaps the most powerful villain not counting the King, his role as antagonist is diffuse.

* DirtyOldMonk: The good Cardinal preaches against lust and sin. This said, he has absolutely no trouble with bringing prostitutes by the pair to his lodging. Lucrecia herself has slept with him in many an occasion.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite all his evils, he is clearly disturbed at having to kill the Sucessor of Christ, and whips himself to make up for it.
* NiceHat: He is mostly seen with his cardinal galero, though also dons a black ''chapeo'' or broad-brimmed hat when goes incognito.
* SinisterMinister: He is an evil cardinal.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Is incredibly inconsistent with his actions and moral stances, and it looks more like he just follows his weird whims, or at least that he has a really bizarre way to view life. He enjoys power and claims to be completely egotistical, but is also very ready to die in any circumstance, and over time developes a strange sense of honor. At the end, even his own [[spoiler:decision to die]] is left open.

* CreepyBlueEyes: With emphasis in creepy.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Played with. He is initially just a bloodthirsty hedonist, but it is later topped by hunger for politic power on the Cardinal's level, and finally wishes to have [[spoiler:Gonzalo]] crowned as a king with himself as his right hand (although by stated altruistic reasons).

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Is incredibly inconsistent with his actions.

* DrivenToSuicide: At the series's finale, [[spoiler:he suddenly chooses to turn against the King and empty his guns on the royal guard, being fastly gunned down by the remanant soldiers.]] The reason aren't quite explained or implied.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Shown multiple times, the last of them being fatal.
** Even for a powerful mind like his, Ventura looks genuinely puzzled when Margarita offers her body to him in exchange for bringing back Gonzalo, and becomes interested in her reasons to do it. It is almost a PetTheDog point that he never claims his part of the treat after recovering from his illness.
** Later, he possibly has a change of heart towards one of his lovers when he is going to be executed (see Alernate Character Interpretation in YMMV).

* GoOutWithASmile: Invoked in his establishing claim that he will die smiling, and later demonstrated with a ecstatic grin in any situation he thinks he is about to die.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Played with. He is initially just a bloodthirsty hedonist, but it is later topped by hunger for politic power, and finally wishes to have Gonzalo crowned as a king with himself as his right hand. However, exactly what he gains with this is unclear, because he is already the right hand of a king who is also much more manipulable. If anything, he seems to act completely at whim.
* ImAHumanitarian: Not only he is good killing people with his teeth, but he also fests in his preys. The guy merrily talks about how he once devoured an Amazonian indigenous chief who ironically wanted to eat him alive first.

* NotAfraidToDie: His self-preservation fluctuates depending on the occasion, but it's clear that he really doesn't fear death.

* RedBaron: "Malasangre", which means "Evil Blood".

[[folder:Anaís]]
!!Anaís

->'''Played by:''' María Pedroviejo

The beautiful owner of the brothel La Deleitosa, come to San Felipe in Season 9.

[[folder:Flora]]
!!Flora

->'''Played by:''' Tina Sáinz

Anaís's assistant, a wise old woman.

* ServileSnarker: Specially towards Anaís.

[[folder:Emilio]]
!!Emilio de Montalvo / Eduardo

->'''Played by:''' Manual Manquiño

Gonzalo's supposed uncle, appeared in Season 9. He is actually an assassin sent by the Cardinal to infiltrate his family.

* BaldOfEvil
* TheStoner: He takes cannabis to cure his apparent epilepsy.

The leader of a band of savage bandits in the Amazonian colonies, he is brought to the King in Season 7 only to be recruited by him as a consultant of his armies. Twisted to no end and cunning like few, he soon disputes the Cardinal's place next to the King.

* BlowGun: One of his skills, presumably learned in the Amazonian jungle and good enough to fell two chasers riding horses with it.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: The King signs him up as an adviser due to his intelligence and knowledge, but nobody is willing to forget how dangerous he is.

* TheCorrupter: As an advisor, most of what Ventura does is tacitly influencing the King to follow his ruthless, inhuman methods. The monarch, being the amoral bastard he is, has no problem except in some cases.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood[=/=]WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Even for a powerful mind like his, Ventura looks genuinely puzzled when Margarita offers her body to him in exchange for bringing back Gonzalo, and becomes interested in her reasons to do it. It is almost a PetTheDog point that he never claims his part of the treat after recovering from his illness. Later, he possibly has a change of heart towards one of his lovers when he is going to be executed (see Alernate Character Interpretation in YMMV).

She later regrets deeply, but it marks a point. Whether it was a reasonable feeling, given that she was going to be publicity pregnant of a man who wasn’t her supposedly alive husband, is up to YMMV.
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Lucrecia, even once giving her a lecture about how common people like her only have it to keep on. However, as mentioned, she has a unloyalty slippage in Season 7.

[[folder:Inés]]
!!Inés

* BadassGrandpa: Best Águila Roja in a brief kung fu scuffle at a first encounter.
-->'''Sátur''': I told you, master, that this guy was going to foul you up!\\

* BadHabits: It's implied that he is just posing as a monk, or that he took the habits to disappear from the world, because most flashbacks show him in plain clothes.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He is not any less superhuman than Águila. The old fellow jumps over thirty feet long from a balcony in their introduction fight.
* DeusExitMachina: Presumably knows everything about the past of Gonzalo and his secret brothers, but as he is dead at this point, he cannot be asked.
* {{Expy}}: An incredibly obvious one to [[Franchise/StarWars Obi-Wan Kenobi]] from ''Film/ANewHope'', both visually (white-bearded, brown robe with a dramatical hood, crazy good in fighting) as in role (wise master who gets killed by a villain withholding vital info for the hero).
* FullNameBasis: He prefers to refer to Sátur as Saturno.

!!Estuarda
->'''Played by:''' Marta Aledo

!!Matilde Torres
->'''Played by:''' Sonia Lázaro

The daughter of a supposed witch who Águila saves from the fire. She is adopted by Cipri and Inés and briefly has something with Alonso.

* PuppyLove: With Alonso.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Is taken by Inés when she leaves Cipri for the Cardinal, but when Inés reappears after escaping from the convent, Matilde is not with her. Her final fate is completely unknown.

* NonActionGuy: Defied. Santiago is clearly not a physical fighter, and he actually gets them captured when is held at dagger point by the warden, but he still shows that he is no slouch either. He knocks out a guard by clocking him with a ''[[ImprobableWeaponUser pear of anguish]]'', and later is perfectly willing to fight the Fake Águila Roja by himself with Gonzalo’s double naginata.
* OddFriendship: Funny how a law enforcer like Santiago can be close friends with a rogue like Sátur, especially with their respective personalities. According to him, he met Sátur for the first time when he imprisoned him for stealing, and after they talked for a time due to Merino’s boredom, Sátur gave him advice which ended saving his matrimony, making Santiago release him in gratitude.
* TheReliableOne: Santiago comes in a difficult time for Gonzalo, as he has just got his classroom murdered by a frightening enemy he cannot find out and his trusted Sátur is not with him in this trance, but the old constable proves to be a bold and determined ally.
* RetiredBadass: As mentioned, he is a retired law representant, and apparently a skilled one.
* SecretKeeper: Is to date the only person Gonzalo has voluntarily revealed his identity as Águila.
* SirSwearsALot: Would break the scale in a series with much more foul language than ''Águila Roja''. It is another trait inherited from the actor.

[[folder:Fake Águila]]
!!Fake Águila Roja
->'''Played by:''' Miguel Ángel Jenner (voice)

A mysterious man obsessed with Águila Roja who desires to destroy his life. He dons his costume, steals his katana and starts a killing spree on the city, incriminating him with the murders and destroying his reputation among people.

* AlmightyJanitor: His background is unknown, but he was probably just a peasant man, with few resources and possibly even illiterate, as it was the norm in the Spain of the time. However, he also happens to be an evil mastermind who built a trap endowed with improbably advanced technology and a revenge plan every bit as complex as succesful.
* AxCrazy: The guy is completely nuts.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: His character described in a single sentence.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:He was a peasant arrested for some reason and then imprisoned in a sort of privatized jail where he was creatively tortured for years. The man, probably already DrivenToMadness, gained a hate for the people's hero Águila Roja because he never came to rescue him, and after he escaped the prison, he sought vengeance against him.]]
* DecapitationPresentation: An even worse example than a severed head: he sends Gonzalo a box of ''visceras'' ripped apart from his victims.
* DiabolusExNihilo: Comes from nowhere both out and in-universe.
* EvilKnockoff: Self-made of Águila Roja. He is even difficult to tell apart visually from him – his costume is almost identical, and he knows how to use his weapons. However, you can also see that he is physically bigger than Gonzalo and his fighting style is rougher and more pedestrian.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Talks very deep and gruff, almost as if he had a throat problem.
* FauxAffablyEvil: His way to speak is threatening but quite articulate.
* GeniusBruiser: He concocts a succesful plan to catch Águila Roja and later puts a fight against him.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Unlike the original Águila, he doesn’t know martial arts, and it shows in his bar room brawl punches when he goes against Gonzalo in close quarters.
* KnightOfCerebus: In a series like ''Águila Roja'' where deaths and butcherings are in the everyday, this guy manages to '''blow''' the standard of psychos and dark characters introduces until the point.
* HiddenInPlainSight: His lair is on the same house he lived in before being imprisoned. The guards probably never thought of looking there, assuming that they were actually searching for the escapee, which is dubious given the unusual nature of the prison.
* MouthStitchedShut: What he does to the kidnapped man dressed as Águila he leaves behind as a warning. The maan has his mouth horribly stitched shut, and judging for his moans he is ''desperately'' trying to speak out.
* NoNameGiven: Naturally, as his identity is never revealed.
* RoomFullOfCrazy: His house is full of pliegos de cordel or newspapers of the time talking about Águila Roja and his rescues, showing his obsession and insanity.
* SerialKiller: Kills lots of people under the name of Águila Roja.
* SilentAntagonist: Subverted. His only lines are when he has Gonzalo and Sátur trapped in his pit; when they face on the battle, he doesn't utter a word and barely grunts at all.
* TheSpook: Eventually found out, but not as much as to reveal his name or face.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: His eyes seem to be yellow when he shows himself to Gonzalo and Sátur, although it could be a visual effect.
* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: The reason why Gonzalo doesn't unmask him.
* TheUnreveal: We are never told exactly his past, nor we get to see his face, though considering that he was basically nobody, it would have been pointless.
* UnskilledButStrong: As mentioned, he doesn't enjoy Gonzalo's skills and knowledge, but he makes for it with plenty of both strength and intelligence.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Even for a series where killers and madmen are legion, this one makes every other antagonist in ''Águila Roja'', including Malasangre, look like your lovely granny.
* WouldHurtAChild: He. Slaughters. A. ''Classroom.''

* BuryYourGays: [[spoiler:She is a lesbian (or perhaps bisexual, it's never stated) and gets judged by TheSpanishInquisition when Hernán outs her. Barely averted because Lucrecia welcomes her back for her loyalty after her punishments.]]

* {{Badass}}: He breaks the laws of physics in a daily basis in order to kick ass.

* {{Badass}}: Seems to lose a bit of badassery with every season, but he is still one of the big guys of the series.

* {{Badass}}: He laughed at the face of the armies of Spain and the very king, and even more impressively, walked out with both technical and literal wins from his first encounters with Águila Roja and the Sheriff.

* {{Badass}}: As of Season 9, Sung-Yi remains as the only fighting character in having bested Águila Roja decisively and that tells a lot.

* {{Badass}}: Even for a man who is probably uneducated and self-taught, he is really skilled and strong, and is able to hold his own more than enough against the real Águila.

* HollywoodAtheist: At least, how Sátur sees him. Given that being atheist at the time was extremely rare (and [[TheSpanishInquisition dangerous]]), it would be the most common reaction.
