Vincente de Santa

 is a major character featured in Red Dead Redemption.

Biography
De Santa is portrayed as a cruel, abusive and sadistic man. He frequently personally participates in the slaughter of civilians that support the rebels and willingly kidnaps women to satisfy the sexual apetite of his commander, Colonel Allende. He is also a vicious sycophant, who is not above sending competetors on suicide missions for personal gain. Despite his rather sadistic and homicidal personality, he is also portrayed as a spineless coward when verbally abused by Allende. Despite the abuse--or perhaps because of it--he seems to genuinely admire and look up to Allende, seeing him as a savior of the Mexican way of life.

Red Dead Redemption
He works alongside John Marston after his first visit to Escalera sending him on various tasks often times helping John do these tasks. Eventually, De Santa betrays John, who is only saved when Abraham Reyes and his rebels rescue him. John eventually captures De Santa, and either kills him himself, or allows his rebel comrades to kill him.
