 is a major character featured in Red Dead Redemption. Allende is a colonel of the Mexican Army, and is responsible for squashing the rebellion in the Nuevo Paraiso territory, as lead by Abraham Reyes. Many years ago, Allende was an idealist, but he's become a viscous cynic with a love of torture and sexual abuse. He takes pleasure in all manner of vices. He is intelligent, corrupt and brutal. He lives in a huge villa on the highest ground of Escalera until it is eventually overthrown by the rebels.

Trivia

 * Ironically, Agustin Allende quotes Karl Marx, the founding father of communism and socialism. This is derived from the statement he makes about the saying "all history being a clash between two classes." This is derived from Karl Marx's book, The Communist Manifesto. This statement is the first sentence in the entire book and comes from the philosophical theory called the dialectic.
 * Allende follows in a long line of a Rockstar Games series trademark of mission givers who betray the player and then are killed by the player in revenge (other examples include Catalina, Salvatore Leone, Lance Vance, Big Smoke, Ryder, Dmitri Rascalov and Wu Lee from the GTA series, and Gary from Bully).
 * Allende owns a golden sword and an armor plated stagecoach with a Gatling Gun on the back of it. Its only appearance is in the mission An Appointed Time.
 * Even after Allende has been killed, his portrait will still hang inside his villa hinting that the Rebels did not decide to occupy it.
 * In the mission The Demon Drink, Allende says "Qué Sera Sera," probably quoting the famous song "Qué Sera Sera" or "Che Sara Sara," the Italian version.
 * Allende bares a close resemblance to legendary 'Spaghetti Western' actor Lee Van Cleef who has appeared in a range of Western movies.
 * According to Reyes, Allende ironically used to be a poor peasant. This contrasts with Reyes, who was born wealthy and is now leading the peasants in revolution.
 * Allende may be a loose reference to General Mapache from the film The Wild Bunch who is displayed by Emilio Fernández.
