Nacho Sanchez

**Nacho Sanchez** is one of the five protagonists and is an unpredictable, psychopathic and violent member of the Sanchez family, serving as the drug kingpin of Los Angeles County in replacement of his uncle Juan.

## Biography

### Early Life

Nacho Sanchez was born on October 25 1979 in Ciudad Juarez in Chihuahua, Mexico to Christian Sanchez and an unknown mother alongside his brothers Hector and Marco. Even as a child, he had a history of rage issues and violent impulses that ruined his attempts to fit into society. Nacho's childhood itself was an unhappy one. Nacho was taken cared of by his uncle, Juan, instead of his own father. Nacho lived with Juan's twin daughters and cousins, Maria and Juana, and the three were physically and emotionally abused by Juan because he taught them very harsh life lessons that would "help" them protect their family and become viable assets in their criminal business in the future.

In one particular incident, Nacho was forced to stab Juan with a screwdriver to prevent him from amputating Maria's arm with a hatchet. Juan, instead of retaliating and getting angry against his nephew, was impressed and claimed he was proud of Nacho for showing his fierce willingness to protect his cousin.

Nacho attended to college but dropped out following an incident involving murdering a fellow student named Ryan in retaliation for racism and bullying. Later in his life, Nacho discovered he had a talent for using firearms. He enlisted in the army, but several days prior to completing his training and becoming a soldier, Nacho was deemed mentally unstable, thus resulting in Nacho's discharge.

### Taking Over his Uncle's Operations

After being discharged from the military, Nacho returned to Mexico and committed an armed robbery at a place that cashed checks which led to him being arrested. However his father managed to use his power and connections to get Nacho out of the situation and had him arrive at his villa. Christian was relatively disrespectful towards his son, but gave him money and permission to head to Los Angeles in America as Nacho requested to take over Juan's business after his critical injury during his war with Suzaku Yoshida. Nacho initially seeked revenge on the Yoshidas, but Christian commanded him not to seek any retribution against them and that his only priority is to ensure Juan's business survives and continues to make money for the family. Christian then dismissed Nacho and ordered Marco to escort him off the premises as well as give him a final warning to not disappoint him. Nacho was driven to the airport by Marco and the two bidded each other goodbye.
Nacho arrived at the LA County where he met with his crew consisting of Sebastian Bolsa, Martin Villacres, Fenarndo Vialpando and Vicente Colon. He quickly showed his true nature to the gang and then took his new "friends" with him to visit his uncle Juan, who is accompanied by his cousins Maria and Juana. Nacho did the talking due to his uncle's inability to speak in his severely crippled state, trying to cheer him up and reassure him that he will now take care of his empire. Nacho vows that he will not let Juan down, and that he will finally be proud of him.
Nacho chose to live in a cheap trailer in the middle of the desert and he got into an business affiliation with the local Outback MC and eventually with the Veunte Cartel when they expanded their operations into LA County. Nacho eventually developed an addiction to crystal meth and he even had an secret affair with the Outback MC leader's, Robert Hockstetter, girlfriend and second-in-command, Abigail Jones. At some point, Seb informed Nacho that one of his street dealers had stolen drugs from Nacho for himself. As punishment, Nacho forced the dealer to cut off and eat his own fingers save for one, which Nacho decided to keep for himself for "private matters". Nacho rewarded Seb by buying him a beer at the local bar where Nacho told him some information about himself and that he thinks of Seb as a friend rather than a business associate. In turn, these events had terrified Seb into remaining loyal to the unstable Nacho.

### Expanding his Business

While having sex with Abigail, Nacho receives a phone call from Reneldo Feuntes with news that Juan had recovered mentally and can speak now. Nacho is both shocked and happy so he quickly ends the session with Abigail and leaves his trailer with a beer, immediately driving to his uncle's home to visit him.

## Personality

Nacho is a difficult person to deal with: extreme, impetuous, vengeful, psychopathic, unhinged, unpredictable, untamed, infamous, homicidal and prone to violent outbursts and destructive rampages. He does everything in a sociopathic and relentless manner. Although Nacho is like this, he is honest about it and he will never show hypocrisy. He has his own charm along with his own principles. His mere presence always puts others on edge due to his extremely short temper and unpredictable, impulsive behaviour.

Nacho is a true psychopath who easily kills without remorse, has the typical parental issues, is a pyromaniac, frequently abducts people and has a habit of making sadistic jokes about his victims. In contrast to his behaviour he is very protective over his crew and family, caring very deeply for the people close to him and he can be truly loyal to them.

In contrast with his heavily sociopathic behaviour, he has shown many times how needy he is for love and care. He also dwells on respect and often tells his friends to show respect for themselves, and also sometimes even others. Despite his heartless behaviour, Nacho possesses an awareness of guilt.

Nacho often uses threats of sexual violence in order to show his dominance over other men, as well as enjoying making them uncomfortable. By the other hand, he respects and encourages bravery on his friends and partners in crime. He often tends to taunt and call out anyone who shows a sign of doubt, fear or weakness, and when they get back angrily at him, Nacho applauds and approves their reaction as a way to man them up. In direct contrast to his erratic and chaotic nature, Nacho is highly intelligent and even cultured. Although lacking of refined tastes, Nacho speaks in quite an eloquent manner, utilizing complex and elaborate vocabulary as well as displaying a surprisingly dry wit. Nacho is incredibly focused and professional on the jobs at hand, displaying a surprising capacity for calculation and planning, even under duress and in highly chaotic situations. He can follow the plans strictly and also he has great ideas for big jobs and lead them successfully.

Nacho is bisexual and is disgusted by racism, misogyny and self-righteous and hypocritical attitudes which he considers fake. He also suffers from the fear of clowns. Although rarely seen, Nacho is a bit secretly ashamed and scared of his own personality. While Nacho is often controlling, loud, and willing to hurt anyone who he perceives as a threat in some way, whether physically or mentally, he is terrified of his uncle Juan. Nacho is also extremely talented at mathematics.
