Conquistador Carmesí
Background:
Diego León de Rivera’s life has been shaped by an unwavering belief in his destiny to rule. Born into a noble Spanish family, directly descended from Hernán Cortés, he grew up idolizing his ancestor’s conquest of the Aztec Empire. Diego viewed the brutality, greed, and ambition of Cortés not as sins but as virtues necessary for greatness. From a young age, Diego dedicated himself to becoming the ultimate heir to Cortés’ legacy, mastering the art of war, politics, and manipulation.
In 1923, Diego’s obsession with his lineage led him to uncover La Sangre de Cortés, the cursed sword wielded by his ancestor. Unearthed from the ruins of Tenochtitlán, the blade was steeped in the blood of thousands and cursed by the dying breaths of Aztec priests. When Diego first wielded the sword, it bonded to him, granting him extraordinary powers and halting his aging. The blade’s whispers of bloodlust and greed became a constant companion, fueling his ambition to conquer not just South America but the world.
Over the next century, Diego built an empire of crime and terror, uniting cartels, rogue states, and mercenary armies under his banner. Styling himself as Conquistador Carmesí, he donned the imagery of a colonial warlord, blending ancient and modern symbols of domination. His campaigns of conquest left a trail of destruction, cementing his reputation as one of the world’s most dangerous and enduring threats.
Personality:
Conquistador Carmesí embodies arrogance, cruelty, and unrelenting ambition. He sees himself as the rightful ruler of South and Central America, destined to expand his empire to the entire world. To Diego, violence and domination are natural laws, and his actions are justified by his "divine" lineage.
While outwardly composed and regal, Diego is consumed by the whispers of La Sangre de Cortés, which fuel his bloodlust and greed. He views compassion as weakness and has little patience for those who defy him. Despite his monstrous nature, Diego is a shrewd and calculating villain, capable of manipulating even the most stalwart heroes to serve his ends
