Darío Gómez

Scarred by the death of his father, he struggles with his guilt and fear. Two personalities inhabit him: one kind and determined to succeed as a singer, the other overwhelmed by guilt. His goal is to record an album. Heartbreak inspires his music, turning him into the King of Despecho. Death accompanies him, but his consecration comes with “Nadie es eterno en el mundo”.

Courted by Nicanor Estrada, she does not find the passion she is looking for in him until she meets Darío Gómez. Against her mother's wishes, she gives up her professional dreams and dedicates herself to supporting Darío. Blindly trusting in his talent, she manages his career and turns Discos Dago into a profitable company. She gives him three children and accompanies him in all the stages of his life, being him the love of her life.

Son of Fidel and nephew of Marco Aurelio, he was temporarily left with the Gómez Zapata family at the age of four, but never returned home. Raised as Darío's brother, they became best friends. Julio, charming and a good salesman, believes he has musical talent, but feels that Dario overshadows it. Eventually, he desires what Dario achieves, including women and success. 

Blanca Ligia and Darío meet in Medellín and quickly marry. Although they have three children, Blanca never supports Dario's artistic aspirations, constantly criticizing him. Her disdain is a deep pain for Dario, who tries to please her while pursuing his musical dream. Blanca is unfaithful to him and, after their separation, continues to manipulate him. 

He is a sullen and macho peasant with a sour temper. He blames Dario for the death of his brother and is envious of the land inherited by Marcus Aurelius. He transmits his resentment to his son Julio, urging him not to let himself be subjugated by Dario. Although he maintains some loyalty to the family, taking care of Abigail and her children, his armor is cracked by Otilia's feigned affection.

A native of San Jeronimo, he is a successful guitarist and requintista in Medellin. He met Darío at the age of 16 and they became friends and musical partners. Always smiling and good-natured, Cuerdita is reserved about his private life. He hides his alcoholism, which keeps him away from his daughter and grandson. Although he thinks he has everything under control, his addiction eventually takes its toll.

Born in Ebéjico, she learned black, white and red magic from her mother Eloísa to survive. She lives on the sidewalk with her husband Pascual, a street vendor. Abigail, her friend, invites her to family celebrations, not considering her reputation as a sorceress a threat. Despite Abigail's advice to avoid witchcraft, Otilia and Marco Aurelio become lovers almost under her nose.

She is a simple and religious woman, with natural wisdom acquired through observation and experience. Dedicated to housework and raising her many children, she finds solace in music. Dario inherits her good ear and they record an album together. Her greatest wish is to see her children happy and fulfilled, Dario being her weakness, to whom she owes her life.
