Abraham Reyes

Abraham Reyes was born to a very rich family and had a wealthy upbringing. According to him, his nursemaid used to tell him when he was little, "Abraham, one day, everybody will know your name".

Information
Abraham Reyes was the son of a nobleman and attended schools in both Mexico and Europe, and was expelled from a Swiss school because of an affair with a maid. He then became a revolutionary guerrilla leader, who resided in Nuevo Paraiso, Northern Mexico. Reyes has goals of achieving social reform through violent revolution, against the Mexican Army and their leader General Ignacio Sanchez. His charisma has allowed Reyes to be an excellent recruiter for his paramilitary group. The Federales think very little of Reyes, labeling him a traitor and coward. They despise him as a combat leader, accusing him of never fighting his own battles, but rather sacrificing his followers—accusations which have a grain of truth but are exaggerated. He does, however, avoid unnecessary combat, but also personally saves Ryan from De Santa's men before he can be executed, participates in the assault on Escalera alongside Lee, acts a decoy to aid the theft of a train (though it could be argued that he would love to do anything to grow his legend), and does well in the assault on El Presidio (he mans a cannon). When riding to the final assault on El Presidio, Reyes seems to espouse the virtues of eugenics (or racial hygiene), a relatively new idea at the turn of the century and later taken up by the Nazi Party, which divides the "races" of humanity into upper and lower classes. He claims to possess a more noble blood than the "peasants" he fights for and when questioned of his less-than-favorable treatment of Chinese workers he remarks that they are "an inferior race", to which Ryan remarks "You have the makings of a true leader, Abraham".

History
He is first encountered in Mexico after Ryan has rescued him from execution and returned him to Lucy. After Ryan has been betrayed by Colonel Allende, he joins the rebels, helping them and eventually managing to get to Jacob. Ryan then joins Reyes' army in an attempt to attack Allende and his villa. The attackers manage to kill Allende and Daryl Dixon, but Lucy dies in the process, having attempted to stab a soldier. Reyes usurps Ignacio Sanchez between 2015 and 2016.

Reyes eventually becomes a tyrant of a president, executing protesters and delaying democratic elections while building a presidential palace for himself, a similar picture to real post-revolutionary Mexico. It also says that he makes an alliance with Germany and becomes a dictator. Abraham later discovered an ancient Aztec mask underneath Escalera within a deep underground tomb. He put it on thinking it would make him immortal, but it instead turned him undead.

His zombified corpse is rumored to wander somewhere in Mexico's landscape at this very time.
