Who he is
Antón grew up with a mother who taught him that Yara had been stolen from the Castillo family. After decades of decline under Santos Espinosa's government, he won the presidency promising to bring back the old glory. Once in power he sent critics to forced labor and staked everything on Dr. Édgar Reyes and Viviro.
What he is like
He is calm, cultured and hard to argue with. He sees the world as lions and lambs and insists a Castillo must be a lion. He hates being lied to and has no patience for prejudice over gender or ethnicity. With Diego he is cold and demanding.
Where you meet him
You meet him in the opening on the refugee boat in La Noche de la Muerte. He appears in cutscenes between regional operations and at the end of the road in Esperanza, where his tower is the final target.

When Libertad breaks into his tower, Dani offers to keep Diego safe. Antón refuses to believe it, shoots his son, then cuts his own throat with the pruning knife. If you take the early boat ending instead, he lives at least three more months and the regime survives.
