Who he is
Antón remembers his father as a visionary who made Yara a destination for the world. Santos Espinosa's revolution removed him, and Antón says Espinosa handed the country to ideologues and parasites. Even so, Antón calls Gabriel a lamb rather than a lion.
Why he matters
The economic decline after 1967 is the case Antón makes for his own rule. You hear Gabriel's name in speeches, propaganda and the Legends' war stories rather than meeting him.
