Nostradamus
Nostradamus

Although the members of the gang and the neighbors popularly know him as the "Master", the rest of the people reckon him as an old nutty man with a shabby appearance. But he is much more than that.

Pecueca
Pecueca
Interpreted by: César Serrano
Pecueca has been the darkest character so far; not in vain did he make deals with satanic sects. Nostradamus rescued him from the darkness and sowed his mind with peace and forgiveness. Pecuela strongly strives to focus his energy on meditation and self-knowledge but his soul will be torn between good and evil; he may be very good but also very mean.
Rasputín
Rasputín
Interpreted by : José Urley Rojas
He is the most fearful and conflictive member of the gang. He knows the street jargon and violence very well. Sick and tired of so much injustice and corruption at the penitentiary, he will seek revenge and will not stop until he settles old scores with the guard in chief in Cayena. Even though he is cold and violent, he will know the meaning of love in the arms of a young girl from the neighborhood.
Mateo Hernández
Mateo Hernández
Interpreted by: John Alexander Ortiz
He is the one that initiated Ricardo in the paths of violence, gangs and death. Lively but full of regret, Mateo wil try to obtain his wife's pardon. Violence and rows, however, seem to be the only possible scenarios for him. Eventually, his courage will make him confront Zarco, a dark character that has seized the underworld of business in the area after the gang disappeared.
Ricardo Castro
Ricardo Castro
Interpreted by: Juan Sebastián Calero
Strategic and cerebral, not a great talker. He is a tough criminal. Coarse street talk, strategies and pain have hardened his heart. As his story developed during the last years, he has lost people he loved, he has witnessed the death of faithful followers and basically the death of the woman he loved most. Castro could be defined as an eternal warrior in mourning, a fierce animal. In this new season, he will make use of all his fury and experience to serve justice and his country.
