== Background ==
He was once a high-ranking henchman of Edgardo Magallanes who worked in Golden Scorpion who was notoriously known for robbing banks, but later defected due to his conscience. As he defects the syndicate, he forms a band of outlaw with his son whose mission is to fight wealthy abusive businessmen and corrupt officials for his fellow townspeople, as his way to redeem himself for his crimes in the past.
Meanwhile, as Elias and Romana learns about him being a former member of Golden Scorpion, the duo had a mission to find him to locate Isla Alakdan, the main hideout of Golden Scorpion. As Elias and Romana have finally reached the town where he is currently based, his men tracked them after the duo searched him throughout the day. As he faced Elias and Romana, the two mentioned about their mission to find Isla Alakdan to end Golden Scorpion, where they asked him for help to locate. However, he refused to help the two for still being distrustful to them. Despite of his refusal, Elias continued to be adamant about his quest to locate Isla Alakdan, as his key to avenge his family and the people of Palangga. After realizing Emilio took his son Lando, Tiagong Dulas and his group of outlaws decide to go rescue him. But he insisted that they'd do it on their own without Elias or Romana's help. Once they arrived at Emilio's place, a big fight ensues. Just when Tiago and his group were outnumbered, Elias and Romana come just in time. Soon, Tiago was able to save his son Lando. He thanked Elias and Romana, and decides to also give Emilio a taste of his own medicine.
Elias, Romana, Tiago and the group head back to their base. And as promised, Tiago provided to Romana and Elias the information as to where the Isla Alakdan is, and what the two need to know about Tiago, and the other leaders of the Golden Scorpion.
On the day Elias, Romana and Sabel arrive at the Isla Alakdan, they begin taking down most of the Golden Scorpion's goons. Just when Elias was outnumbered by Edgardo and the Golden Scorpion, Tiago arrives and gives him his guns and decides to help him and the others take down the Golden Scorpion once and for all. Tiago heads into one of the buildings of Isla Alakdan, and finds himself going up against Edgardo's right-hand man, Hugo. It seems like those two guys are gonna fight each other with one of them winning the battle. After Golden Scorpion has fallen thanks to Black Rider and authorities, he suddenly faces with Chief Gregorio Ricarte allowing him to escape from the cops. 
== Personality ==
As stated he was a member of Golden Scorpion, and defected after his conscience began, making him escape the syndicate. As he abandons his former life of crime, he became a selfless, compassionate, and sympathetic individual where he will be fighting for his fellow poor townspeople, even gambling his life to fight abusive wealthy individuals, just to atone his crimes in the past. 
As a leader, he is shown to be a pledged and determined individual that he will do everything just to protect his men from any harm against their enemies. However in facing some strangers, such as Elias and Romana, he is very distrustful to them, for being a protective and meticulous man.
