What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Mutilated the corpses of many of his enemies even if they were dead and kept some of their body parts in wine jars he then used to drink from. While he only shows the head of Joaquín Murrieta and the hand of Three-Finger Jack on his pots, it's implied that they aren't his first victims and he did that to many others before them.
- Treated his killings as an honor to his victims of being killed by him, even leading to Joaquín Murrieta committing suicide to avoid a painful death at his hands.
- Showed no respect for the church by shooting against the confessional booth where Alejandro Murrieta, now as Zorro, was hiding.
- Despite having his own ideals about heroism and honor, they were nothing more than excuses to fuel his own ego.
- Is most likely the one responsible for kidnapping hundreds of innocent people, including children, enslaving them and forcing them to work against their will in a gold mine for his boss, Don Rafael Montero, under horrible conditions and being whipped whenever they fall behind. When Alejandro asks where they got so many people to work in the mine, Captain Love is the one who answers his question, stating that they took them from wherever they found them, showing that he was the one who enslaved them or at least played a huge part in it. One of the slaves in the mine is Three-Finger Jack who has previously been captured by Love which further confirms Love's role in enslaving the people.
- Shot Three-Finger Jack dead with no remorse at El Dorado when Jack attempted to attack Don Rafael and his associates even though the man didn't pose as a genuine threat.
- Invited Alejandro Murrieta to his office and offered him to drink from his wine jars with putrid body parts like if it were a normal thing. He specifically offers Alejandro to drink from a jar which contained the head of his brother, Joaquín Murrieta, just to mess with him psychologically because he suspected that Alejandro is a brother to Joaquín.
- Although he displayed concern and attention to Elena de la Vega, Don Rafael's adopted daughter, he didn't care to threaten her life when he nearly shot her to kill Don Diego de la Vega, Elena's true father and the former Zorro, demonstrating that he doesn't care for his employer out of the professional level.
- When threatened by Zorro, he harshly ordered three of his soldiers to follow Zorro's instructions so he would not be killed and didn't care when Zorro kicked his soldiers off a window.
- When Don Rafael asked him for any means to save their own skins from General Santa Anna, who was about to discover that they were planning to buy California from him with its own gold, he proposed to blow up El Dorado with all its workers inside to erase any evidence. If their plans had succeeded, hundreds of people would have been killed.
- While fighting against Zorro for a final showdown, he taunted him by saying that Joaquín would have shot himself by that point.
