| ~ El Indio to Douglas Mortimer. |
El Indio (Spanish for "The Indian") is the main antagonist of the 1965 spaghetti western film For a Few Dollars More, the sequel to A Fistful of Dollars.
He was the psychopathic leader of a gang of wanted outlaws who had Douglas Mortimer and Monco join forces to both go after his bounty.
He was portrayed by the late Gian Maria Volonté and voiced by the late Bernard Grant in the English dub, who also both played and voiced Ramón Rojo in the original film.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Killed Douglas Mortimer's brother in law and then raped his sister, driving her to suicide. While the incident truly does haunt him, he still continues his monstrous antics, with zero remorse for any other actions and atrocities committed by him.
- His "love" for Douglas’s sister is nothing more than an obsession and lust. She didn’t love him at all and killed herself. The incident has haunted Indio, and he smokes an addictive drug to cloud his memory.
- When he gained information about the safe containing $1 million from a cellmate, he murdered the cellmate so he would keep the information for himself.
- On his jailbreak, he had all the guards killed except for one, so that man could tell the tale and spread his name.
- Hunted down Tomaso, a former gang member, who had imprisoned him in the past and used the money to start a family. Once he found him, he took revenge by having his wife and his 18 month old son murdered while he listened to them go silent. He then challenged him to an unfair duel and killed him. This is easily one of his most horrific acts.
- He challenged others to dishonorable duels where he played the tune of his pocket watch and once the chime had ended, they shoot. Since El Indio had listened to the watch many times, he knew exactly when the tune ended, giving him an unfair advantage.
- Robbed the bank of El Paso for the $1 million dollar safe inside.
- Arriving in Agua Caliente, he sends Manco to deal with several locals, knowing they don't like visitors.
- Tortured Manco and Mortimer and then set them free only as this is according to his plan.
- Killed Cuchillo, one of his own gang members, and framed the bounty hunters for it.
- Planned on having all his gang and the bounty hunters kill each other, leaving all the money for him.
- One of the members is his old friend Sancho Perez, while he lets him take part in the bank robbery, Indio ultimately uses him like his other gang members.
- When Niño, the one gang member he'd planned to keep around is killed in front of him, he still didn't care and showed no reaction.
