## Personality

Nacho Sanchez is known for his reckless, extreme, violent, sadistic, brutal, unpredictable, psychotic, vengeful, unhinged, unpredictable, untamed, impetuous, infamous, extremely prideful and homicidal personality, being prone for his destructive rampages and aggressive outbursts. He does everything in a sociopathic and relentless manner, as well as possessing a sadistic and twisted sense of humor which he has a habit of making about his victims. Although Nacho is like this, he is honest about it and he never shows hypocrisy. His mere presence always puts others on edge due to his extremely short temper and unpredictable, impulsive behavior, and even frightens his own men and friends. Nacho easily kills people without remorse, even occasionally murdering innocent civilians without hesitation, and has committed numerous unforgivable and violent criminal acts such as murder, torture, kidnapping, arson and even sexual assault.

Nacho is a true sociopath who has parental issues and he has demonstrated many times how needy he is for love and care. Despite how poorly his family had treated and looked down on him, Nacho still remained extremely loyal to his family and he loved them deeply because he believed they were the only thing keeping him alive. He would also care about the people close to him, such as his own henchmen, and he would show loyalty and protectiveness over them despite frequently bullying, taunting, manipulating and abusing them. He also greatly respects individuals for those he views as strong and those who show bravery and defiance against him, even encouraging his own men into standing up to him. This is why he uses fear as an instrument to keep his crew in line, believing that being hard on them would make them stronger people. However, he has no respect for those he views as being weak and cowardly.

In direct contrast to his erratic and chaotic nature, Nacho is highly intelligent and he is incredibly good at reading people and manipulating them. He is also quite cultured and displays a surprisingly dry wit, as well as being focused and professional on his criminal duties at hand, displaying a surprising capacity for calculation and planning even under duress and in highly chaotic situations. He has proven to have great ideas for running his operations and elaborately dealing with problems. Nacho will also employ psychological warfare on his enemies in order to manipulate and break them into submitting to him without needing to actually kill them and make more use out of them, and Nacho is also bisexual and he frequently uses threats of sexual violence to show his dominance over other men, as well as enjoying making them feel uncomfortable. Nacho is also extremely talented at mathematics.

Nacho's favorite weapon is his machete which he dubbed "Joaquina", after his beloved grandmother. It is a symbolic reminder for Nacho of how important family is to him and it helps him cope with his loneliness. Nacho often refers to the weapon as a person and he also shows panic and gets greatly upset and unhinged if anyone dares damage or steal Joaquina. Nacho enjoys using Joaquina to kill people, often using it excessively to install revulsion and terror into others and he often disturbingly beheaded his victims and kept their decapitated heads as horrifying souvenirs. Nacho also used alcohol and drugs in an attempt to cope with his loneliness and poor mental health, such as marijuana, cocaine, meth and LSD.

Nacho is not completely heartless despite his monstrous and seemingly remorseless behavior, as he possesses an awareness of guilt which he expresses rarely and is secretly ashamed and scared of his own personality. He is against harming and killing children and he has his own charms with his own set of principles which he occasionally and seemingly randomly displayed. Nacho is genuinely disgusted by racism, sexism, police brutality/corruption and self-righteous and hypocritical attitudes which he considers fake. He also dwells on respect and he often tells his friends to show respect for themselves, and also sometimes even others. He suffers from the fear of clowns.

## Biography

### Early Life

Nacho Sanchez was born on June 11 1991 in Ciudad Juarez, Chuahuahua, Mexico to Christian Sanchez and an unnamed woman. However, his relationship with his father was very distant and he never knew who his mother was so he had to live with and was raised by his grandmother, Joaquina. Nacho loved his grandmother but had a history of rage issues and violent impulses even as a child that ruined his attempts to fit into society. Nacho had a habit of trapping and killing animals to store in his secret box buried in the woods during his youth and he even bit off another student's ear for disrespecting his grandmother during school. Nacho's childhood itself was an unhappy one and Joaquina died when he was still very young, but Christian still refused to take care of his own son because he had no interest in raising more children. So instead, Christian's brother, Juan, took in Nacho to live with him and his twin daughters Maria and Juana. Nacho was physically and emotionally abused by Juan alongside Maria and Juana, just like Juan's father did to him, out of the beliefs that it would make them into stronger and tougher individuals who will become willing to protect their family by any means necessary, even if it means killing others. In one particular incident, Juan threatened to chop off Maria's arm with an axe but was stopped by a desperate and frightened Nacho, who proceeded to punch Juan to no avail but managed to stop him by stabbing him in the shoulder with a pair of nearby scissors. Instead of getting angry at Nacho, Juan was in fact proud of his nephew and declared him his "son" as well as proudly stating that family means everything.

Nacho eventually dropped out of college after an incident involving the sodomization of another student, and he enlisted in the army instead to serve his country and try to find a purpose in life. During one of his military tours, Nacho took a machete from an enemy guerilla and had killed him with it. Afterwards, Nacho decided to keep the weapon and named it "Joaquina" in honor of his late grandmother. Nacho did not stay in the forces for long as he was quickly dimissed, due to his commanding officers quickly finding out about his mental unstability and sadistic fixation on brutality.

### Drug Lord of the County

After being discharged from the military, Nacho returned to his hometown and committed petty crimes along the border with no particular goal in mind. After getting high, Nacho decided to rob a bank out of boredom. However, the job went wrong and the police arrested Nacho, though because of his family's connections, he was bailed out of custody and was picked up by his brother Hector to meet Christian at his villa.
