    The Mendoza Cartel 

Teresa "Teresita" Mendoza

Played by: Alice Braga

The titular Queen. Originally a moneychanger and cartel girlfriend from Culiacan, Teresa's life was forever changed when her boyfriend Guero ran afoul of local kingpin Epifanio, forcing her, her best friend Brenda, and her godson Tony to flee to Texas.


  • The Ace: There doesn't seem to be much she can do wrong in this otherwise unforgiving trade, from surviving countless assassinations attempts to every aspect of financial and logistical management to negotiating with ruthless kingpins unscathed.
  • Anti-Hero: Starts off as a Classical Anti-Hero before becoming the most common archetype, as to be expected when the titular protagonist is the head of the most powerful drug cartel in the Western Hemisphere.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Pote calls her "Teresita", while King George calls her "Principesa".
  • Born Lucky: Can give Tintin a run for his money in terms of things going her way in the most unexpected or unlikely circumstances, especially in the early seasons where she's constantly fighting for her life and is struggling to carve out her empire.
  • Driven to Suicide: She contemplates killing herself after Guero is killed. Thankfully, Pote and James intervene.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: She's willing to compromise a lot of moral values on her rise to the top, but draws the line at human trafficking. She also forbids her cartel from attacking women and children.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: She starts off as a simple moneychanger. In the Flash Forwards, she is a ruthless crime boss.
  • Future Me Scares Me: She has not yet embraced her role as the Queenpin that she sees in her visions. She never truly does; in the final season, when she realizes what she'll have to do to maintain her empire, she chooses to walk away, living a much more simple life with James, Pote, and Kelly Ann.
  • Important Haircut: As "Teresita", she wears her hair down and in natural curls. As The Queen, she has straight hair tied in a severe bun. Season 4 sees her starting to make the transition.
  • Jacob Marley Warning: In the first three seasons, she has visions of her future self offering her warnings and advice.
  • Rape as Backstory: In the first episode, she is raped by one of Epifanio's enforcers.
  • Start of Darkness: In season 4, the death of Tony does some serious damage to her moral compass.

Potemkin "Pote" Galvez

Played by: Hemky Madera

A former sicario for Epifanio, and now Teresa's loyal right-hand man.


  • Ambiguously Christian: He practices both Catholicism and Santeria.
  • The Atoner: He killed Chino Parra, Tony's father, during Batman's brutal takeover of the Vargas Cartel. In season 4, he tries to make amends by giving Tony opportunities to kill him in revenge.
  • Career-Ending Injury: His career as a sicario ended when he was tortured, resulting in nerve damage to his dominant hand that has made it harder for him to shoot straight. Fortunately for him, Teresa appreciates loyalty, and she keeps him on as an adviser. However, he seems to be still as sharp as ever even in the later seasons.
  • Deuteragonist: Arguably the character with the second longest screentime after Teresa herself, and the main focus of the finale after Teresa's faked death.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: In the Grand Finale, he serves four years in jail for stealing a car, after which he gets out, kills Boaz once and for all, and retires to Belize with Kelly Ann and their daughter.
  • Friendly Address Privileges: He is the only person who can still get away with calling Teresa "Teresita".
  • Number Two: Although never officially considered as such, he handles some of the more important decision-making in the cartel in Teresa's absence as well as being her primary enforcer in all of the operations where she's directly involved.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: When he's not brutally putting down Teresa's enemies, he enjoys cooking. Teresa offers to give him his own restaurant when he finally retires from being her enforcer.

James Valdez

Played by: Peter Gadiot

The former right-hand of Camila Vargas, and now an ostensibly-loyal enforcer in Teresa's cartel. Also a mole for Devon Finch.


  • The Bus Came Back: After leaving at the end of season 3, he suddenly returns in the final moments of season 4 with a visible gunshot wound in his chest.
  • The Mole: He is spying on Teresa for Devon Finch.
  • From Camouflage to Criminal: An ex-Navy SEAL, which proves to be a valuable asset in his stint at the drug dealing business and as a CIA mole.
  • Put on a Bus: He leaves at the end of season 3, ostensibly because he's tired of Teresa questioning his loyalty. In reality, Finch had him re-assigned.

"King" George Megalos

Played by: Ryan O'Nan

A lifelong smuggler, and Teresa's main expert in transporting cocaine. He and his crew of Somalians have been all over the world and transported nearly anything conceivable.


  • Ambiguously Bi: While he appreciates the ladies, his heart seems to belong to his right-hand man, Bilal, with whom he spends most of his time. He later tells Teresa that he's only truly loved two women in his life - his mama, and Teresa, and that's more of a brother-sister bond.
  • A Father to His Men: King George loves his Somali henchmen like they're his own flesh and blood.
  • Killed Off for Real: Boaz murders him after he finds out that Boaz has been sabotaging Teresa's supply.
  • Like Brother and Sister: He calls Teresa the sister he never had.
  • The Nicknamer: He calls Teresa "Principesa" and calls Pote "Chewy".
  • Pretty Fly for a White Guy: King George seems to prefer the company of black people over his fellow Caucasians.
  • Sad Clown: In season 4, while he still tries to maintain his party-animal facade, he's heartbroken over Bilal's death, and no longer at the top of his game.

Kelly Anne Van Awken

Played by: Molly Burnett

A former lawyer from Texas who befriended Teresa early in her career and now helps Teresa maintain legitimate fronts for her empire.


  • The Alcoholic: In season 3, she starts hitting the bottle pretty hard in order to cope with her torture at the hands of Devon Finch, and her guilt at becoming his mole. In season 4, she's cleaned up her act.
  • Awful Wedded Life: Her late husband was an abusive bastard who also happened to be an incompetent criminal.
  • Genius Ditz: In spite of her naivete and poor judgment, she is a brilliant accountant and lawyer. This helps her earn her way back into Teresa's empire, when she notices that Teresa's accountant has been stealing from her and helps Teresa recover the money.
  • The Heart: With her cheerful demeanor, she helps keep the core of Teresa's empire together.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: She is extremely good at playing dumb, because she had to be in order to survive living with her abusive ex-husband.
  • Promoted to Parent: Her penance for betraying Teresa and not having the good sense or decency to disappear is to take care of Tony.
  • Undying Loyalty: After being exposed as a mole and being "executed", she chose to return to Texas and watch over Tony on Teresa's behalf, despite knowing that Teresa would have had her killed if she found out.
  • Unishment: Her punishment for cheating death and trying to negotiate her way back into Teresa's cartel is to be assigned to care for Tony... which effectively puts her back in Teresa's cartel. Eventually, Teresa drops the act entirely and rehires Kelly Anne as her new accountant.

Chicho

Played by: Alejandro Barrios

Teresa's junior sicario.


  • The Ace: He has all the skills of Pote in his prime, while still being young enough to use them.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: Teresa rewards his loyalty by giving him the Siete Gotas Distillery, one of the few legitimate parts of her empire.
  • Expository Hairstyle Change: In the Time Skip in the finale, he shaves his signature moustache.

Samara Volkova

Played by: Eve Harlow

The daughter of Oksana, adopted into the Mendoza cartel to protect her from her mother's enemies.


  • Last Episode, New Character: She first appears in the penultimate episode of the show.
  • Remember the New Guy?: Despite not being introduced until the end of the show's run, the other characters all act like she's been in the cartel for years.

Boaz Jimenez

Played by: JT Campos

The former head of the Jimenez Cartel, the Vargas Cartel's main rival. When Teresa's war with Camila Vargas destroyed the Vargas Cartel, Boaz became the de facto Kingpin of Sinaloa, but he was forced into a treaty with Teresa - he gets to rule Sinaloa, but he answers to Teresa. He's not happy about it.


  • Abhorrent Admirer: To Emilia, his ex-fiancee. She fled to New Orleans to escape him, and fell in love with Javier.
  • Boxed Crook: He is allowed a certain amount of latitude in order to maintain control over Sinaloa, but Teresa keeps a vigilant eye on him.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He loved his son Kique dearly, and was even willing to make peace with the Vargas family when Kique fell in love with Isabela Vargas.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He hates being Teresa's subordinate, but he gave his word that he would serve her, and he does not go back on his word. This ends up being his downfall; Pote baits him into settling their differences with a knife fight, and he badly underestimates Pote's reflexes.
  • Family-Values Villain: He likes to keep his operations within the family, hiring his many cousins and nephews to help run his part of Teresa's empire. This naturally creates a lot of headaches for Teresa.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Teresa's other allies make no secret of their disdain for Boaz and his methods.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: He has serious anger-management issues. One of the reasons he was forced into a treaty with Teresa was because the major cocaine overlords in Mexico feared that he'd start wars with everyone else unless there was someone to grab his leash.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: After two seasons of acting like a rabid dog, the final season sees him enact a plan that rapidly tears apart Teresa's empire.
    "People equate crazy with stupid. I'm neither."
  • Reassignment Backfire: Teresa's decision to send Boaz alone to Miami at the end of season 4 backfires when he returns to New Orleans and murders Judge Lafayette; Teresa initially intends to hand him over to the police, but discovers that since she had isolated him from the rest of her cartel, she didn't have anyone else in Miami who was loyal to her to replace him.
  • Spanner in the Works: In season 5, he takes it upon himself to kidnap and kill Judge Lafayette, screwing up Teresa's efforts to neutralize the judge non-violently.
  • Unishment: In response to his failed attempt to take over the cartel while Teresa was in a coma, Teresa puts him in charge of Miami. In theory, it's a punishment because he's no longer in charge of Sinaloa, which he has long believed is his rightful territory, and because it will be harder for him to make mischief when he has no local allies, but there are far worse places to do penance than Miami.

Javier Gallegos

'''Played by: Alfonso Herrera

Boaz Jimenez's cousin, a sicario from the Jimenez Cartel. Now on loan to Teresa as part of the treaty between her and Boaz.


  • Dying Moment of Awesome: He dies after managing to pull Randall Green into the trunk of a burning car with him.
  • George Jetson Job Security: As a sicario for the Jimenez Cartel, his employment, and thus his life, was always subject to the whims of Boaz.
  • The Load: His poor decisions create a lot of problems for Teresa.
  • Sleeping with the Boss's Wife: He is carrying on a secret affair with Boaz's ex-fiance Emilia.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He's basically a replacement for James Valdez. Lampshaded in the season finale, when Pote and Teresa wonder if they've had a blindspot for Javi's antics because they were so desperate to replace James.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Nearly every setback that besets Teresa in season 4, from her war with Marcel to the death of Tony, stems from Javi killing Rene Bardot in a bar brawl and trying to cover it up.

Tony Parra

Played by: Julian Silva

Teresa's godson, and the son of her best friend Brenda and her husband Chino.


  • The Bus Came Back: After two seasons in Texas, Tony is reunited with his tia in season 4, after assassins kill his uncle.
  • Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: After Brenda's death, Teresa left Tony in the care of his uncle in Texas in the hopes that he would have a normal life. It didn't work out.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: His parents were both brutally murdered within a year of each other. He still has nightmares about it.
  • Morality Pet: Tony is the closest thing Teresa still has to family, and she tries to be a good tia for him. His death moves her much closer to becoming the brutal Queen seen in the flash-forwards.
  • Put on a Bus: At the end of the first season, Teresa leaves Tony with his relatives in Texas.

Taza

Played by: Zahn McClarnon

The leader of the Hakan Tse reservation, and one of Teresa's allies in Arizona. Initially a puppet of La Comision, put into power so that they could run drugs through the reservation, his alliance with Teresa restores his confidence and helps him retake control of his land.


  • Badass Native: He's initially a tired, broken man, but once Teresa restores his confidence, he proves to be such a competent leader that Teresa agrees to a deal that will give him control of the Arizona drug trade.
  • Killed Offscreen: In the final season, he is murdered by Boaz's men.

Raymundo "El Guero" Davila

Teresa's ex, and a former sicario in the Vargas Cartel. For most of the first season, he is assumed to have been murdered when Batman took over the Vargas Cartel, but he turns out to have been captured by the FBI. In season 2, he joins Teresa's cartel, but is not readily trusted.


Lil' Traviesa

Played by: Snow Tha Product

The niece of one of Teresa's allies in Texas who later relocates with Teresa to Arizona. One of Teresa's more enthusiastic supporters, Teresa retires her after she is brutally assaulted, not wanting Lil' T to end up on the same path as her.


    The Vargas Cartel 

Dona Camila Vargas

Played by: Veronica Falcon

The estranged wife of Governor Epifanio Vargas, would-be Queen of the South, and the series' main antagonist in seasons 1-3. Frustrated when her husband expects her to become eye candy on the campaign trail, she instead takes over his drug cartel and manages to run it even more efficiently than he did.


  • Career-Ending Injury: She was originally a dancer, but kept injuring her legs. When Epifanio offered to marry her and provide for her, she decided to accept.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: When faced with the choice of either facing Teresa again who had outsmarted her, or giving up her empire, Camila decides to retire from the drug trade for good and returns with her daughter to Sinaloa.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Camila may be an evil, ruthless woman who is obsessed with power at any cost, but she genuinely loves her daughter Isabela.
  • Fatal Flaw: Camila's pride tends to get in the way of her success. In the end, it destroys her family and her empire.

Don Epifanio Vargas

The former kingpin of Sinaloa, and now a Governor.


  • Anti-Villain: Epifanio ultimately becomes this by the time his story is fleshed out. As a teenager he saw his mother and father get murdered and hung from a tree for not playing the Cartel leader his money on time. He forms a crew and fights to hold on to his family farm that the Cartels tries to take from him by force. He genuinely loves his wife Camila and the show makes it clear that their marriage problems were mostly created by her and her pride. He tries to go legit once he has the means to do so, but is stopped by is wife who refuses to give up the criminal empire she helped built, despite not being a criminal at all in the beginning of their relationship. And he gives up his life trying to kill Teresa, because he saw how his wife would never let her become the new Queen of the South. These things ultimately makes him a sympathetic character and not the ruthless drug lord the show initially makes him appear to be.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He's a bastard, but he genuinely loves his daughter Isabela.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: It's an open secret in Sinaloa that Epifanio made his fortune in the drug trade, but his various charitable acts have made him popular enough that he can run for governor.

Cesar "Batman" Guemes

Played by: Geraldo Teracena

Don Epifanio's right-hand man. Despite being an ugly brute, Don Epifanio chose him to take over the cartel during the gubernatorial campaign, setting off the events of the first three seasons.


  • Bad Boss: His background as Epifanio's enforcer did not really prepare him for actually leading the cartel. Once he gains power, he quickly squanders his time trying to stamp out anyone who might have objected to his rule, creating a lot of resentful people who were only too happy to join Camila in taking over the cartel.

    The South 

Marcel Dumas

Played by: Alimi Ballard

A New Orleans businessman and the head of the People of Color Chamber of Commerce, an interest group for black and Latino business owners that is actually a front for a criminal organization.


  • Defeat Means Friendship: Once Teresa figures out that restitution will get him off of her ass, she pays the restitution and he quickly becomes a loyal ally.
  • The Dog Bites Back: His war with Teresa happens because he and his people have so much built-up resentment after being kicked around by Judge Lafayette for so many years that Teresa's seemingly callous murder of one of his guys pushes him over the edge. Once Teresa agrees to pay restitution for her actions, he agrees to a truce.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He is painfully aware of how gang wars often end up killing lots of people of color while advancing the interests of white men, and thus tries very hard to avoid them. In the final season, he decides to get out of the drug business after realizing that re-establishing his place in New Orleans will require him to kill a lot of potential challengers, most of whom are likely to be young black men.
  • A Father to His Men: He genuinely cares about his men, to the point that, when Teresa accidentally kills one of them, he starts a brutal retaliation campaign against her. However, he mercilessly caps a cocky hood rat who tries to call the shots on his own when he keeps disrespecting him, even after he tried to show him mercy with all his might.
  • It's Personal: He kills El Gordo in revenge for El Gordo murdering his men.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: In the final season, he decides that he can't improve his community while also making money off of the drug business, especially since staying viable in the business means having to kill other black people, and thus chooses to quit the business.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Embittered by his stint in prison, depressed by the death of his mentor Lucien, and facing the prospect of having to put down a number of challengers to his empire, which means having to kill any number of his fellow black men, he decides to cash in his chips and get out of the drug business, leaving control of the POCCOC to Cedric.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: He hides his criminal activity behind the guise of supporting small local businesses.

Cedric

Played by: Donald Paul

Marcel's second-in-command.


  • Just Following Orders: When King George confronts him over his murder of Birdie, he claims he was only following orders during a war.

Shomari James

Played by: Jack McKissic

One of Marcel's associates in Atlanta.


  • The Dreaded: If his crew come after you, you're as good as dead.

Played by: Pepe Rapazote

A Cuban-born drug runner based in Miami, and one of Teresa's new allies in season 4.


Oksana Volkova

Played by: Vera Cherny

A Russian-born, Atlanta-based drug dealer who specializes in ecstasy, and one of Teresa's new allies in season 4.


  • The Beard: She's a lesbian, but sometime in the past, she had a relationship with a man that produced her daughter, Samara.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: Though she is far less violent than Teresa's other allies, she is still dangerous. When she learns that a Russian hit squad has been targeting Teresa and threatening the deal between Teresa and Kostya, she takes it upon herself to wipe out the entire hit squad.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: She spent years in a Ukrainian prison before relocating to the United States.
  • Lipstick Lesbian: She is a very glamorous lesbian.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: She runs her operation very conservatively, constantly avoiding interpersonal conflicts.
  • Villainous Crush: She spends an inordinate amount of time worrying about Teresa's opinion of her, and has openly admitted to admiring her.

    New York 

Konstantin "Kostya" Federov

Played by: Pasha D. Lychnikoff

Oksana's cousin, a dreaded coke dealer who turns out to be a Russian diplomat.


  • The Dreaded: Everyone in New York's underworld is terrified of him.
  • The Ghost: He doesn't appear onscreen until shortly before the penultimate episode. Fittingly, it turns out his nickname from back in his army days was "The Ghost".
  • The Mafiya: He's a Bratva boss.
  • Properly Paranoid: He avoids doing business in person because he's also a Russian diplomat.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: He's avoided scrutiny for years because he's a Russian diplomat.

Oscar Polanco

Played by: Elvis Nolasco

A Dominican barbershop owner, Kostya's main competition in the cocaine business, and Teresa's ally in New York.


  • It's Personal: His beef with Kostya stems from the latter sending his goons into his territory and killing his men.

    The Government 

Devon Finch

Played by: Jamie Hector

A CIA agent, and James' real boss.


  • The Man Behind the Man: He's been manipulating Teresa's empire from the background for years, using James as his proxy.

Judge Cecil Lafayette

Played by: David Andrews

A local judge in New Orleans, and the main antagonist of season 4.


  • Affably Evil: He is a mean old bastard who manages to hide behind a veneer of Southern gentility.
  • The Bluebeard: His wife died under mysterious circumstances. One detective implies that he's been a person of interest in that case for years.
  • The Chessmaster: He manages to squeeze both Teresa and Marcel by manipulating them into a gang war and then offering his services as a "mediator" in exchange for cuts of their profits.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: At first, it seems like for all of his corruption, Lafayette is a decent father who genuinely cares about his mentally ill son Davis, but it's later revealed that Davis' mental illness is the product of years of his father's abuse and gaslighting. He is, however, genuinely heartbroken when Davis commits suicide in the season finale... though not enough to restrain himself from pinning Davis' death on Marcel Dumas.
  • Family-Values Villain: Judge Lafayette is corrupt as all get-out, but he is a consummate southern gentleman, the kind who kills a minor associate for insulting a woman in his presence.
  • Killed Off for Real: He is kidnapped, killed, and beheaded by Boaz.
  • No Honor Among Thieves: He sells protection to the local criminal organizations like Teresa's drug distribution network and Marcel's "chamber of commerce". However, once he has made enough money, he plans to make himself a local hero by having them all arrested and sent to jail.

Detective Randall Greene

Played by: Cory Hart

A Detective in the New Orleans Police Department, and Judge Lafayette's chief enforcer.


  • Dirty Cop: He uses the power of his badge to get away with all kinds of criminal behavior.
  • The Dragon: He is Lafayette's right-hand man.
  • Worthy Opponent: He has a grudging respect for Javier and Cedric, his counterparts in Teresa's cartel and Marcel's gang. This proves to be his undoing, as Cedric leads him into an ambush with Teresa's cartel, and Javier manages to kill him when he pauses during his execution to say a final word for him.

Captain Eli Gamble

Played by: Sharif Atkins

Judge Lafayette's new enforcer in the final season.


  • Inspector Javert: He is determined to send someone to jail for the deaths of Davis and the Judge, and doesn't much care if the person who goes to jail happens to be innocent.
  • It's Personal: His mother was the nurse for Judge Lafayette's late wife, and Lafayette paid the tuition for Gamble's night school. He is thus profoundly loyal to the Judge.

General Alberto Cortez

Played by: Yancey Arias

A brutal, sadistic Mexican general, and the major antagonist of seasons 2 and 3.


  • Corrupt the Cutie: In season 3, he seeks to turn Isabela Vargas against her mother.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: After Teresa's cartel finally captures him alive in the finale of Season 3, George guts him alive with a chainsaw.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: Cortez claims that he ate Batman. He also claims to have plans to do the same to Camila Vargas.
  • Karmic Death: After spending years brutally manipulating and eliminating everyone in his way to fulfill his vile ambitions, he gets subjected to a brutal demise of his own, at the hands of a dear friend of one of his victims no less.
  • Manipulative Bastard: In season 3, he carries out a campaign to play Camila and Isabela Vargas against each other.
  • The Sociopath: Given the subject matter of the show, you can point out a number of examples, but the one who sticks out the most is the military leader Cortez. You can read the Complete Monster entry on the other wiki page for a more in depth example. But to break it down, he has superficial charm, he lacks empathy, he is a compulsive liar, a Manipulative Bastard, he acts impulsively (and it's this trait that led to his downfall in Season 3), and he kills without hesitation if a person gets in his way, no matter who that person is or what he thinks of them at the time. What really makes him stick out, is that even some of the most ruthless criminals in the show like El Santo have some redeeming qualities about them. Cortez has none.

Sheriff Jed Mayo

Played by: A Martino

A racist, corrupt Sheriff in Phoenix, and a minor antagonist in season 3.


  • Boomerang Bigot: Sheriff Mayo is of Latino descent and makes very little effort to hide it, but he has been profiling and harassing his fellow Latinos for years in order to make a name for himself.
  • Inspector Javert: He portrays himself as a tireless crusader against drug trafficking, but in reality, he cheerfully takes bribes from La Comision.
  • Karmic Death: After Jed Mayo sells out the La Comision for Teresa, she pays him the money she promised, but breaks her word by sending a video of Mayo torturing a Mexican immigrant in one of his jail cells to a rising politician in Phoenix to help with his election campaign. Jed Mayo is arrested and thrown in jail, where he is soon beaten to death by many of the Mexican immigrants he imprisoned.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: He is a blatant expy of Joe Arpaio, the notorious former Sheriff of Maricopa County.
  • Small-Town Tyrant: His war against La Comision is sold to the public as a righteous battle against evil foreign drug smugglers. In reality, it's just a front for squeezing La Comision for a cut of their profits.
  • You Are What You Hate: Sheriff Jed Mayo is of South American decent, but hates his own kind because he blames their actions for white people's racism towards them. Of course, he is no better if not worse, since he takes money from the cartels or any criminal organizationwho will pay him more, and at the same time tortures and kills his own kind, claiming he is bringing justice to Phoenix.

    El Santo 

El Santo

Played by: Steven Bauer

A Bolivian cocaine supplier and cult leader. Extravagantly insane, he believes that Teresa is the moyocoyotzin, She Who Creates Herself, chosen to spread the "sacrament" of his cocaine to the rest of the world.


  • Ax-Crazy: He considers cocaine to be a sacrament.
  • Creepy Child: El Santo is attended by a crew of little girls in white dresses and terrifying masks who deliver his messages and kill those who cross him.
  • The Dreaded: He scares the living shit out of everyone.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: As insane as he is, he still loves his wife and unborn son.
  • Villainous Breakdown: He loses what's left of his mind after his wife is killed and his infant son is taken away from him.
