[[caption-width-right:300:''"We are Spanish, no? [[IndyPloy Improvise!]]"'']]
->'''Played by:''' Jaime Blanch, Arnau García (young)
The Undersecretary of Special Assignments of the Spanish government, aka the main responsible of the Ministry.
----
* TenMinuteRetirement: It only takes him two episodes to regain his position as undersecretary after Susana gets him fired.
* {{Adorkable}}: The way he gets flustered when confronting the auditors during the guvernmental inspection is worth to see.
* BadassBureaucrat
* BigGood: He leads the good guys's team.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He is a bit of a maverick as the Ministry's chairman, taking rather personal and informal approaches to the cases, but it always works to his favour. However, this is deconstructed in Season 2 when Susana Torres exploits the consequences of his unorthodoxy in one of the cases to get him expelled of his job.
* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: The Captain Smooth to Ernesto's Sergeant Rough.
* CharacterTic: Playing languidly with his glasses or join his fingers.
* CheshireCatGrin: His favourite kind of smile.
* CoolOldGuy: He is firm as a boss but still charismatic and charming man in his sixties.
* CoolShades: He wears a pair when he rescues [[spoiler:Ernesto and the young Lola from the concentration camp]].
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Might look like a benevolent, somewhat dorky boss, but he is a more than capable strategist.
* DeadpanSnarker: In a good-natured light, unusual for most examples.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: His career's death, actually. Instead of taking the offer to join some company's board of directors, he tells Susana he would rather retire. And that he prefers going on the subway instead of in a government car.
* HappilyAdopted: when he was 9, an age in which he did not expect to be adopted, a couple of diplomats ''did'', and, considering how he speaks of them, Salvador clearly had a happy childhood with them.
* HappilyMarried: A hungover Velázquez asks him what his wife brought to the marriage. Salvador answers "40 years of happiness".
* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:King Philip II shoots him twice in the chest as he was about to tell the Government the king's ambitious plans. He revives, of course, as the timeline is back in order again.]]
* MustHaveCaffeine: Fittingly for a public civil servant, he has Angustias providing him regularly with coffee.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He takes no nonsense when running the Ministry as he knows it's a serious and risky job. He wouldn't have let an employee infected with Spanish Flu in the Ministry in the first place like Susana did, no matter if it was Irene.
* StraightMan: With Velázquez's eccentric personality.
* TheMourningAfter: Since his wife's death, he has not been with other women.

->'''Played by:''' Cayetana Guillén Cuervo
The Ministry's logistics boss and a good friend of Ernesto. She came to the Ministry in [[TheSixties 1962]].
----
* AllGaysArePromiscuous: She is lesbian, and makes advances towards roughly every female character. In fact, she kisses Amelia right after meeting her, and is disappointed when she says that she still likes men.
* TheCorruptible: Sports inner doubts over her job, which are exploited by Susana with a dose of love interest incitement to get her to her side.
* DrivenToSuicide: Before she was recruited by the Ministry, she had an unhappy life as she was a closeted lesbian from the 1960s and was forced to marry to a man. She almost threw herself but Leiva convinced her to join the Ministry.
* LipstickLesbian: A worldly woman.
* MrsRobinson: A subversion. Any time line she visits, she will always have an affair with a young woman. When she had to travel inside Hitler's train she missed seducing women.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She was born in 1930, but she looks like in her forties or early fifties.
* TheMole: She did this in [[FallenHero Leiva]]'s group to stop his attempt to take over the Ministry. [[spoiler:She then becomes one for [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Susana Torres]] in the first half of season 2, though she gets better.]]
* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: [[spoiler:Following the paths of Leiva and Lola, Irene becomes another one for some time. She collaborated with Susana to make the Ministry a much better place.]]
* ThoseTwoGuys: She is always seen with Ernesto.
* WellIntentionedExtremist
* YourCheatingHeart: Irene is married but she uses the time doors to have affairs with other women, especially young ones. Her excuse is that, since these affairs take place [[TimeyWimeyBall technically]] before she met and married her wife, they don't count as such.

->'''Played by:''' Juan Gea
The Ministry's director of operations and Irene's best friend. He has a MysteriousPast.
----
* TheAce: Despite coming from an earlier time than even the perennial FishOutOfWater Alonso, Ernesto is shown to have adapted to present day better than any other misplaced character. He speaks several languages, handles modern technology perfectly and shares confortably current ideas about people and life. It goes to the point that nobody who doesn't know his personal story can easily deduce which time he is from (not that he'd help much should you try).
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As director of operations, he is a brilliant field agent.
* BadassBaritone
* BadassInANiceSuit: Ernesto always wears nice polished suits. Julián once compared his suits to Franchise/JamesBond.
* BadBoss: King Philip II's alternate timeline has him as the Ministry's secretary but he is different as the man that everyone once knew. He has the same ideals that of a 16th century man and is an expert in using violence to get information.
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Poor Ernesto has to gain the confidence of the young queen Isabel II after Leiva's mayhem to prevent the Ministry's closure. His plan? Take her and her sister, infanta Luisa Fernanda, to watch a 3D movie.
* BreakThemByTalking: When interrogating someone, this is how he does it: getting serious and intimidating the interrogated person.
* ByTheBookCop: Stern and serious, he believes in the rules and abides them, at least when his loyalty to Salvador is not compromised.
* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: The Sergeant Rough to Martí's Captain Smooth.
* CunningLinguist: Speaks German, English and probably other languages.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He almost cultivates this image in order to prevent people from bugging him with the matter. Has reasons, definitely.
* DisappearedDad: Ernesto didn't know he had a son with his deceased old flame Luisa named Javier but he is trying to get in touch with him as much as he can.
** [[spoiler:And also to Tomás de Torquemada whom he left to work with the Ministry]].
* GoodIsNotSoft: A pretty somber individual, but apparently deep into the good guys's side.
* HeroicSacrifice: In order to stop rabbi Levi's time loop and save the Ministry's secrecy, he's willing to [[spoiler:stay in place of Levi and being burned alive instead]]. Fortunately for him, [[spoiler:Alonso arrives just in time [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome to rescue Ernesto in a motorbike]]]].
* IdenticalGrandson: [[spoiler:He is Tomás de Torquemada's father, and as such he could pass for a twin brother whenever they have the same age. It is somewhat HandWaved.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:It's revealed to be Pedro Fernández de Torquemada, the father of Tomás de Torquemada.]]
** In season 2, he discovers from a letter that he had a secret son. After investigating some of his old romances, he finds Javier, a Website/YouTube-ish celebrity and the son of Luisa, who died some time ago.
* MysteriousPast: As stated by Gil Pérez, no one knows from what time Ernesto comes from. Ernesto himself says he can't even remember it. [[spoiler:Which is false. He comes from the 15th century.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: Most of the time.
* Really700YearsOld: [[spoiler:He's from before 1491.]]
* ReallyGetsAround: At least, in his youth. When he learns, from an anonymous letter, that he has a secret son, he calls quite a lot of women in order to find out who wrote it.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: While he admits to be an OutOfCharacterMoment for him, he is not above breaking the rules to follow his moral code. After Susana's takeover, he definitely feels more willing to embrace this view.
* TeamDad: Sometimes plays the role, especially towards Alonso, the nearest to him in terms of procedence.
* ThoseTwoGuys: He is always seen with Irene.
** In season 2, he is now seen more with Salvador than Irene as she [[spoiler:became another treacherous agent like Leiva or Lola in the season 1 finale]]. Then Irene gets better and everything goes to normal.
* TranquilFury: Almost his default look.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Salvador.

----

* DeskJockey: She works as a secretary after all, and pretty much prefers it over field missions.
* FirstNameBasis: She's almost always referred to by her first name. In fact, she went without a surname until episode 3, when she said that her surname is Vázquez. [[spoiler:While saying the sentence [[Series/GameOfThrones "We Vázquez(s) always pay our debts."]]]]
* MarriedToTheJob: After becoming widowed.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Like many other characters. She was born in 1920, but she is in her twenties when she was recruited.

->'''Played by:''' Jaime Blanch, Arnau García (young)
The Undersecretary of Special Assignments of the Spanish government, aka the main responsible of the Ministry.
----
* TenMinuteRetirement: It only takes him two episodes to regain his position as undersecretary after Susana gets him fired.
* {{Adorkable}}: The way he gets flustered when confronting the auditors during the guvernmental inspection is worth to see.
* BadassBureaucrat
* BigGood: He leads the good guys's team.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He is a bit of a maverick as the Ministry's chairman, taking rather personal and informal approaches to the cases, but it always works to his favour. However, this is deconstructed in Season 2 when Susana Torres exploits the consequences of his unorthodoxy in one of the cases to get him expelled of his job.
* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: The Captain Smooth to Ernesto's Sergeant Rough.
* CharacterTic: Playing languidly with his glasses or join his fingers.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Might look like a benevolent, somewhat dorky boss, but he is a more than capable strategist.
* DeadpanSnarker: In a good-natured light, unusual for most examples.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: His career's death, actually. Instead of taking the offer to join some company's board of directors, he tells Susana he would rather retire. And that he prefers going on the subway instead of in a government car.
* HappilyAdopted: when he was 9, an age in which he did not expect to be adopted, a couple of diplomats ''did'', and, considering how he speaks of them, Salvador clearly had a happy childhood with them.
* HappilyMarried: A hungover Velázquez asks him what his wife brought to the marriage. Salvador answers "40 years of happiness".
* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:King Philip II shoots him twice in the chest as he was about to tell the Government the king's ambitious plans. He revives, of course, as the timeline is back in order again.]]
* MustHaveCaffeine: Fittingly for a public civil servant, he has Angustias providing him regularly with coffee.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He takes no nonsense when running the Ministry as he knows it's a serious and risky job. He wouldn't have let an employee infected with Spanish Flu in the Ministry in the first place like Susana did, no matter if it was Irene.

->'''Played by:''' Cayetana Guillén Cuervo
The Ministry's logistics boss and a good friend of Ernesto. She came to the Ministry in [[TheSixties 1962]].
----
* AllGaysArePromiscuous: She is lesbian, and makes advances towards roughly every female character. In fact, she kisses Amelia right after meeting her, and is disappointed when she says that she still likes men.
* TheCorruptible: Sports inner doubts over her job, which are exploited by Susana with a dose of love interest incitement to get her to her side.
* DrivenToSuicide: Before she was recruited by the Ministry, she had an unhappy life as she was a closeted lesbian from the 1960s and was forced to marry to a man. She almost threw herself but Leiva convinced her to join the Ministry.
* LipstickLesbian: A worldly woman.
* MrsRobinson: A subversion. Any time line she visits, she will always have an affair with a young woman. When she had to travel inside Hitler's train she missed seducing women.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She was born in 1930, but she looks like in her forties or early fifties.
* TheMole: She did this in [[FallenHero Leiva]]'s group to stop his attempt to take over the Ministry. [[spoiler:She then becomes one for [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Susana Torres]] in the first half of season 2, though she gets better.]]
* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: [[spoiler:Following the paths of Leiva and Lola, Irene becomes another one for some time. She collaborated with Susana to make the Ministry a much better place.]]

->'''Played by:''' Juan Gea
The Ministry's director of operations and Irene's best friend. He has a MysteriousPast.
----
* TheAce: Despite coming from an earlier time than even the perennial FishOutOfWater Alonso, Ernesto is shown to have adapted to present day better than any other misplaced character. He speaks several languages, handles modern technology perfectly and shares confortably current ideas about people and life. It goes to the point that nobody who doesn't know his personal story can easily deduce which time he is from (not that he'd help much should you try).
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As director of operations, he is a brilliant field agent.
* BadassBaritone
* BadassInANiceSuit: Ernesto always wears nice polished suits. Julián once compared his suits to Franchise/JamesBond.
* BadBoss: King Philip II's alternate timeline has him as the Ministry's secretary but he is different as the man that everyone once knew. He has the same ideals that of a 16th century man and is an expert in using violence to get information.
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Poor Ernesto has to gain the confidence of the young queen Isabel II after Leiva's mayhem to prevent the Ministry's closure. His plan? Take her and her sister, infanta Luisa Fernanda, to watch a 3D movie.
* BreakThemByTalking: When interrogating someone, this is how he does it: getting serious and intimidating the interrogated person.
* ByTheBookCop: Stern and serious, he believes in the rules and abides them, at least when his loyalty to Salvador is not compromised.
* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: The Sergeant Rough to Martí's Captain Smooth.
* CunningLinguist: Speaks German, English and probably other languages.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He almost cultivates this image in order to prevent people from bugging him with the matter. Has reasons, definitely.
* DisappearedDad: Ernesto didn't know he had a son with his deceased old flame Luisa named Javier but he is trying to get in touch with him as much as he can.
** [[spoiler:And also to Tomás de Torquemada whom he left to work with the Ministry]].
* GoodIsNotSoft: A pretty somber individual, but apparently deep into the good guys's side.
* HeroicSacrifice: In order to stop rabbi Levi's time loop and save the Ministry's secrecy, he's willing to [[spoiler:stay in place of Levi and being burned alive instead]]. Fortunately for him, [[spoiler:Alonso arrives just in time [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome to rescue Ernesto in a motorbike]]]].
* IdenticalGrandson: [[spoiler:He is Tomás de Torquemada's father, and as such he could pass for a twin brother whenever they have the same age. It is somewhat HandWaved.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:It's revealed to be Pedro Fernández de Torquemada, the father of Tomás de Torquemada.]]
** In season 2, he discovers from a letter that he had a secret son. After investigating some of his old romances, he finds Javier, a Website/YouTube-ish celebrity and the son of Luisa, who died some time ago.
* MysteriousPast: As stated by Gil Pérez, no one knows from what time Ernesto comes from. Ernesto himself says he can't even remember it. [[spoiler:Which is false. He comes from the 15th century.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: Most of the time.
* Really700YearsOld: [[spoiler:He's from before 1491.]]
* ReallyGetsAround: At least, in his youth. When he learns, from an anonymous letter, that he has a secret son, he calls quite a lot of women in order to find out who wrote it.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: While he admits to be an OutOfCharacterMoment for him, he is not above breaking the rules to follow his moral code. After Susana's takeover, he definitely feels more willing to embrace this view.
* TeamDad: Sometimes plays the role, especially towards Alonso, the nearest to him in terms of procedence.
* ThoseTwoGuys: He is always seen with Irene.
** In season 2, he is now seen more with Salvador than Irene as she [[spoiler:became another treacherous agent like Leiva or Lola in the season 1 finale]]. Then Irene gets better and everything goes to normal.
* TranquilFury: Almost his default look.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Salvador.
