Luis Mateo Delgado (a.k.a. El Loco)

Dark Chicago       People    Criminal    ICB    Los Asisinos      El Loco

Description

El Loco looks like he rode straight out of a border legend—wide-brimmed cowboy hat, snakeskin boots, and a grin full of gold teeth and bad ideas. He’s built like a bull, thick in the shoulders and stomach, with hands made for breaking ribs or flipping tortillas. His mustache is always perfect, his shirt always pearl-snapped, and his eyes always just a little too wild. Most folks laugh when they first see him—right up until he breaks someone’s nose.

Personality

El Loco is loud, proud, and completely unpredictable. He’ll crack a joke one second and throw a chair the next. But behind the bluster is someone deadly serious about loyalty—especially to Mosca and the neighborhood. He cooks like a saint and fights like a devil. He plays up the cowboy act, but he’s no fool; he just prefers to be underestimated.

Habits

Keeps a flask of mezcal tucked in his boot

Carries a spice pouch and adds hot sauce to everything

Cooks for the crew every Sunday—no one’s allowed to skip

Talks to his fists before a fight, like they’re old friends

Hooks & Angles

Served time in Texas before sneaking back to Chicago—some say he escaped

Has a legendary chile recipe he refuses to share, even under threat

Wears a Veil-warding charm under his shirt, “for the bad spirits”

Knows where several bodies are buried—literally, and keeps them a secret out of love for Mosca
