The Nahualli's Character Profile

Profile

	Name: The Nahualli Role: Antagonist Faction: Unknown EN Voice Actor: Christian Lanz
The Nahualli is a mysterious man leading an equally mysterious, nameless criminal organization. He is known to be cunning, ruthless, and efficient at killing people and committing crimes. The Nahualli and his men hide out in Silver Gulch, an abandoned Old West town hidden in the deserts of Santo Ileso, patiently plotting their next criminal venture.

The Nahualli's Backstory

A Leader of a Small Faction

The Nahualli is the sole leader of a faction based off of Silver Gulch in the desert on the outskirts of Santo Ileso. His gang, although unnamed, are simply considered to be his goons – hired thugs who follow the beck and call of The Nahualli in whatever venture he seeks to do to expand his criminal empire.

Despite having a small group, The Nahualli is regarded as being somewhat of a legend in the criminal underworld, leading to Marshall Defense Industries eventually taking an interest in capturing him.

Story Role

Taken Down

At the start of the game, The Nahualli can be seen sitting calmly in the main Saloon of Silver Gulch in Rojas Desert South as his gand takes on the endless troopers that Marshall Defense Industries – and by extension, Atticus Marshall himself – had sent to capture him.

The streets of the small settlement are set ablaze as Marshall APCs and his gang go head to head in a battle of wills. This would only be broken by the actions of Boss – a rookie trooper making a name for himself – as he punches through The Nahualli's men, reaching him and crashing the VTOL that The Nahualli commandeered, resulting in his capture.

Rescued

The Nahualli would spend a large portion of his days since being captured in a Marshall prison just west of Lakeshore South. Unlike most other imprisoned criminals, the Marshalls have dedicated an entire cell block to just The Nahualli for a heightened method of security that includes several guards and an observation deck.

This security would be smashed as the man who captured him – the Boss – would come and help The Nahualli escape, destroying much of the Marshalls in the process.

Kills Sergio

The Boss, his friends, the Saints, and The Nahualli all eventually convene to conceive a plan to rob a Marshall train carrying a heavy payload of weaponry and ammunition. The group would eventually follow through with this plan and assault the plane, with The Nahualli providing support to Boss as he ransacks his way to the front of the train.

Unexpectedly, Los Panteros and its leader Sergio Velez would also assault the train, leading to a three-way battle between Marshalls, Saints, and Los Panteros. Sergio would eventually confront Boss, with Boss temporarily being knocked down to the ground. As he makes his move to deliver a killing blow, The Nahualli comes in and kills Sergio instead, saving Boss.

Betrayer

Despite Boss' friendliness towards The Nahualli and his continued insistence that Nahualli join the Saints, The Nahualli would eventually grow jealous and bitter with his position. After being a loner for most of his criminal life, The Nahualli begins to covet everything that Boss has, including his friends.

At a party to celebrate the Saints' success thus far, The Nahualli sees an opportunity as Boss stays outside to take in his successes – he approaches and then stabs Boss, explaining his motives all the while. The Nahualli would then try to bury Boss while he was still alive, head into the Saints HQ and shoot everyone there, and then kidnap all of Boss' friends.

After Party Walkthrough and Rewards

Death

After kidnapping Boss' friends, he places them in a recreated room that mimics the apartment that Boss and his friends used to share. The Nahualli would try to act out Boss' life, growing impatient with Boss' friends as they show signs of rejecting him.

Unbeknownst to him, Boss survived his earlier stabbing and came back to rescue his friends. He chews through The Nahualli's men, eventually culminating in a rooftop showdown on a Casino in El Dorado. The Nahualli would then lose to a "quickdraw" against Boss, losing his life in the process as Boss and his friends enjoy the sunset that follows the confrontation.
