Captain Vincente de Santa

Captain Vincente de Santa is a major character and secondary antagonist featured in Red Dead Redemption. De Santa is a captain in the Mexican Army, serving under Colonel Agustin Allende. He was born sometime in 1877. De Santa works alongside John Marston after his first visit to Escalera, sending him on various tasks, oftentimes personally helping John do these tasks. John grows to dislike him, seeing how most of the tasks involve burning down innocent people's homes and capturing young women to give to Allende and the other soldiers. John also obviously hates the idea of a dictatorship, seeing how he fought against governmental control. De Santa tries having John killed a few times, sending John on many missions with incompetent soldiers against large armies of rebels, most notably in the mission “Mexican Caesar” where he sends John and Espinoza on a suspected suicide mission, hoping the two would not come back alive.
