Alejandro

Alejandro Burromuerto was a contestant, the main antagonist, and one of the finalists of Total Drama World Tour. He was one of the three newcomers to the series and a member of Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot. He was seen with the original contestants on a yacht in the first episode of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. He returned as the robot serving as Chris' assistant, but later became a camper for Total Drama All-Stars, as a member of the Villainous Vultures.
== Personality ==
On the surface, Alejandro appears to be a polite, dashing, and charming gentleman, but underneath he is dark and twisted. He is known to use his charm and exceptional persuasion to advance him further in the game. He has proven to be one of the show's deadliest contestants, as the number of eliminations, he has caused is rivaled only by Heather. He proudly acknowledges his terrible nature, even viewing himself worse than Heather, calling her a saint in comparison, and happily acting upon his nasty desires after dropping his nice guy facade. Before, he would do anything to keep up the act just to get further in the game, such as faking kindness to eliminating anyone who could out him when given the opportunity. He generally keeps his cool when someone or something angers him, even taking losing rather well, but snaps when his patience is pushed too far. His manipulative side has been toned down in Total Drama All-Stars, and although it is still present, his better and less malicious side is seen. He can easily hold a grudge for even the most minor offense to him and takes pleasure in exacting his revenge on those who wronged him. Despite being one of the crueler contestants, Alejandro can be sincerely nice if he desires to be and draws the line at senseless harm, even being disgusted by Mal's cruelty. He has made it clear his cruelty isn't usually personal with few exceptions, mainly doing so to win. Like the rest of his family, he follows the Burromuerto family code: never hit opponents in the face, no matter how much he hates them.
Alejandro is very proud of his Hispanic heritage and handsome appearance, partly because allows him to invoke the "Latin lover" stereotype. He is very high maintenance in personal grooming and not eating any foods that could potentially ruin his image or make him sick. Alejandro will frequently speak in his native language on the show, especially when he is frustrated, mainly swearing. An extremely well-developed talent of his is smooth-talking himself in or out of a situation. He names his best quality as his ability to "smell a person's weakness and exploit it in seconds". Alejandro himself gloats that he "went through a lot of nannies" because of this. He has been shown to possess a large number of skills ranging from hypnotism to multilingualism, thanks to his highly successful family. Alejandro's second older brother, José, is one of the very few people who can compete with him, and the only known family member he hates. He has described him as being superior in everything and being partially to blame for who Alejandro is today, having constantly been bullied by him throughout his life especially being called "Al", a nickname that he hates being called more than anything.
