Narcissistic and Vainglorious: He is incredibly full of himself, frequently bragging about his accomplishments, showing off his many medals, and obsessing over his mustache. Because he possesses the secret Medal of Everlasting Life, which grants him invulnerability, he acts with a sense of complete immunity to danger and expects María to marry him out of status rather than genuine courtship. He operates under the immense pressure of living up to his late father, Captain Mondragón, a legendary town hero, which fuels his desperate ambition to be seen as a great protector. He learns that real heroism comes from sacrifice, eventually giving up the magical medal to help Manolo and willingly risking his own life to protect San Angel from the bandit Chakal.
