Abraham Reyes

""Allende is dead. Mexico is mine!""

- Reyes in An Appointed Time .

 is a major character featured in Red Dead Redemption. Reyes is a revolutionary guerrilla leader, who resides in Nuevo Paraiso, Northern Mexico. Reyes has goals of achieving social reform through violent revolution, against the Federales. His charisma has allowed Reyes to be an excellent recruiter for his paramilitary group.

The Federales think very little of Reyes, labeling him a traitor and coward. They despise him as a combat leader, accusing him of never fighting his own battles, but rather sacrificing his followers.

Reyes seems to be uncaring and chauvinistic as he mistakenly calls Luisa Fortuna "Laura", despite the fact that she is desperately in love with him. He even sleeps with another woman. All this happens despite the fact that Luisa was the reason John saved Reyes in the first place.

Red Dead Redemption
After John has been betrayed by Colonel Allende, he joins the rebels, helping them and eventually managing to get to Javier Escuella. John then joins Reyes' army in an attempt to attack Allende and his villa. The attackers manage to kill Allende and Williamson, but Luisa dies in an attempt to save Reyes. Reyes takes control of the Mexican countries; later, it is stated in a newspaper that Reyes becomes a tyrant as president.

Trivia

 * Reyes may be visually inspired by Francisco I. Madero, the person who won the real-life Mexican Revolution and became the next president.
 * Reyes speaks fluent English, although he notably maintains Spanish pronunciation of many words, such as M&eacute;xico.
 * His age is mentioned in The Gates of El Presidio after a replay of the mission. A soldier says Reyes is 27 years old, making his year of birth 1884.
 * He shares the same last name as Bernardo Reyes, another important character in the real-life Mexican Revolution.
 * In a 1914 newspaper, Reyes is ironically labeled as a tyrant, due to the fact that he ordered his soldiers to shoot a crowd of protesters.
 * Another bit of irony is, his last name "Reyes" means "kings" in Spanish.
 * Further evidence of Reyes' future dictatorial nature is found upon metting him for the first time at Agave Viejo. After rallying his men Reyes will remark to John that their energy is "like food" to him, a similar sensation that fascistic leaders such as Benito Mussolini have described feeling.
 * He seems to be somewhat racist, since he calls the Chinese workers an inferior race during the ride to El Presidio.
 * The player can dress as one of Reyes' men by unlocking the Reyes' Rebels Outfit.
 * As seen in Pre-Release screenshots (like the one above) Abraham Reyes had Goatee-Style facial hair instead of his full beard.
 * He wears a Confederate States of America belt buckle
