History Characters / ElSantos

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Meta-example: Despite being Hispanic, Cheech Marin does NOT speak Spanish natively, so his lines had to be written phonetically, but not only he manages to speak the language very well, albeit in a slight odd way, but also speak with a Mexican accent.

* [[KavorkaMan Kavorka Woman]]: A rare female example: She's supposed to be a MsFanservice in-universe, but outside of it, she's pretty disgusting and ugly. The fact she's a prostitute helps. Her looks can be a reference over the Mexican stereotype that many prostitutes are butt-ugly.

* [[NoBadassToHisValet No Badass To Her Valet]]: She's the only one who can face Santos face-to-face in a fight and win, not to mention being the only one whose Santos is ''really'' afraid.

* [[spoiler:[[AndThenJohnWasAZombie And Then Corporal Valdivia was a Zombie]]: In the film, he later reveals he's half-zombie]].

* [[AmericansAreCowboys Mexicans are Charros]]

** [[spoiler:NonActionBigBad: Other than giving orders to her cronies and Peyote, and maybe punching Santos, she doesn't do too much to fight back at the end, since she was too drunk]].
%%* {{Brawnhilda}}

* '''GagBoobs''': Heck, her name means ''Big-titted'' in Spanish.

* {{Parody}}[=/=]MeaningfulName: Her name is a composite name from two famous Mexican wrestlers: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Mendoza Ray Mendoza]] and ''La Tonina'' Jackson.

* BreastExpansion: She was [[ACupAngst flatter as a table]] in the comics, but in the film she gets a pair of bigger assets, due to [[GagBoobs Tetona]] being now her boss.

* {{Expy}}: While Maruca preceds her by 20 years, she looks a bit like [[Franchise/TouhouProject Nazrin]], especially in the movie, except she's a {{Jerkass}}.

* PoisonousFriend: Both figuratively and ''literally'', as he drugs out a kid in the film when [[{{Irony}} filming a commercial break against drugs]].

* GrumpyBear: Especially in the film.

* {{Fartillery}}: And [[ToiletHumor he goes beyond of that]].

* '''{{Jerkass}}''': To the core.
* MaskedLuchador

* LazyBum: Sometimes

* TheStoner: Just like [[AuthorAvatar his author]].

* [[spoiler:BabiesEverAfter: At the end of the film with El Santos]].
** [[spoiler:ChocolateBaby: All the babies look like miniature versions of Santos and Tetona... except one who looks like El Peyote Asesino]].

* {{Brawnhilda}}

* [[spoiler:KarmaHoudini: In the film: At the end, she is never punished for everything she did a as president, since El Santos marries her at the end. Though, as a consolation, she doesn't seem very pleased with the married life.]].
* [[KavorkaMan Kavorka Woman]]: A rare female example: She's supposed to be a MsFanservice in-universe, but outside of it, she's pretty digusting and ugly. The fact she's a prostitute helps. Her looks can be a reference over the Mexican stereotype that many prostitutes are butt-ugly.

* WildHair

* CoolShades
* [[spoiler:TheDragon: For Tetona in the film]].
* [[spoiler:DragonAscendant: Becomes the main villain at the final stage of the film after Tetona was too drunk to fight back against El Santos]].
* [[spoiler:AFateWorseThanDeath: After slipping with a avocado peel that Santos left in the ground, he crashes his back against the floor, breaking his spine and left him quadraplegic for life]].
* ManOfWealthAndTaste
* [[spoiler:TheMole: He faked joining forces with Santos and both characters went to Sahuayo, Michoacan trying to find the Zombie virus for bringing back the Sahuayo Zombies back again, only for betraying Santos and Valdivia, bringing them to Tetona, and destroying the virus]].

* TheRival: of El Santos
* YouAreWhoYouEat: ''Literally'', as he continuosly eats parts of himself without ill-effects.
** {{Autocannibalism}}

* ButtMonkey

* [[spoiler:GoodAllAlong: Unfortunately for them, being a NiceGuy in ''El Santos'' universe is a symbol of being a nuisance]].

* ZombieMooks

* [[spoiler:TheBaroness: In the film]].

* [[spoiler:NarratorAllAlong: At the end of the film, it turns out he's the one narrating his adventures all this time]].

* BiggusDickus: According with [[AllThereInTheManual his backstory]], and [[{{Squick}} you don't really want to know about the rest of the topic]].

* [[spoiler:BiggusDickus: Implied, since he's half-zombie]].

* BiggusDickus: According with some documents El Santos and Valdivia found in Sahuayo in the film.

* DesignatedHero: Depending of the plot, he can be NotSoDifferent from the rest of the villains. In fact, one of the stories has him, Corporal Valdivia and El Diablo Zepeda ''robbing a bank together''.

* {{Expy}}: While Maruca preceds her by 20 years, she looks a bit like [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Nazrin]], especially in the movie, except she's a {{Jerkass}}.

* AscendedExtra: From being just another background character in the comic books to [[spoiler:helping El Santos to escape from Tetona and Maruca's clutches]].

* AmbiguouslyGay: A running gag in the comic is that he seems to have romantic feelings for Santos. Though he's also seen engaging in sexual action with females, making him more "Ambiguously Bi"

* BiTheWay: Not only he also had sex with females, but also with ''males'', especially with his best friend, Corporal Valdivia. And this is also PlayedForLaughs.

* AGodIAm: Downplayed and PlayedForLaughs in his [[AllThereInTheManual backstory]], as being a peyote plant, he's worshipped as a god by many Native Mexicans, but he never talks about the topic anywhere.

** During the [[spoiler:{{Animesque}} sequences during the prison soccer match, she looks like Franchise/TopoGigio instead]].

* {{Parody}}: Of ElSanto or more exactly, of his non-wrestling ''persona'', since in RealLife, he had a really ''thick'' and exaggerated Mexico City accent in his voice, and he sounded like a hick. This was hidden is his movies, because [[SameLanguageDub his voice was dubbed by professional voice actors and he never used his real voice in-film]]. Ironically, both Trino in the original shorts and Daniel Gimenez in the film are from the state of Jalisco, and they use a notable Guadalajara accent in their voice.

* MeaningfulName: Named after a character from the same name from a series of Mexican films from the 1950s, who is, in turn, named after an old mexican urban legend about a ghost dressed as a charro who offers gold to unwary travelers.
