Abraham Reyes

• ◆Aspects of Reyes appear to be based on Mexican revolutionaries such as Pancho Villa, Emiliano Zapata, and Venustiano Carranza. However, the revolutionary who most resembles Reyes was Francisco Madero (1873-1913). Like Reyes, Madero was from an enormously wealthy landowning family, earned part of his education in Europe, and was still quite young in the early stages of the Mexican Revolution when he challenged for the nation’s presidency. Furthermore, the events of "An Appointed Time" mirror the actual Battle of Ciudad Juarez and the Battle of Cuautla. These battles, which took place in April and May 1911, involved some 3,000 revolutionary supporters of Madero fighting against supporters of then-President Porfirio Diaz. The treaty following the siege ended the first phase of the Mexican Revolution and temporarily granted power to Madero, who entered Mexico City weeks later and was inaugurated as president in November 1911.
• ◆He shares the same last name as Bernardo Reyes, another important figure in the real-life Mexican Revolution. Bernardo overthrew the government in the real-life border region 'Nuevo León' and ruled for a few years as a dictator.
• ◆His last name "Reyes" means "kings" in Spanish. He makes a reference to this during a mission, wishing for Mexico to be filled with "kings".
• ◆A foreshadowing of Reyes' future dictatorial nature is found upon meeting him for the first time at Agave Viejo. After rallying his men, Reyes will remark to John that their energy is "like food" to him, a phrase which is almost identical to the one used by fascist leader Benito Mussolini.
• ◆As seen in pre-release screenshots, Reyes had a rather neater appearance, as his goatee and hair were slightly shorter.
• ◆He wears a Confederate States of America belt buckle.
• ◆Although he always seems to mistakenly call Luisa Fortuna, "Laura" instead of Luisa, it was revealed after the mission, "An Appointed Time" that Laura was another girl he knew.
• ◆He is in the Damnation category in the Outfitter, most likely because he was a hypocrite who became a tyrant.
• ◆Sometimes, Herbert Moon will say that Reyes is "as revolutionary as Napoleon!" Both of these men were revolutionaries who used revolutions to gain power. In addition, he says that Reyes "just likes riding horses in a fancy uniform."
• ◆There are posters of Abraham throughout the game world. One is in Casa Madrugada, three are in Escalera, one is in Tesoro Azul, another can be found at Solomon's Folly, one in Benedict Point and another last one on the side of the assay building in Tumbleweed.
• ◆In the mission "The Great Mexican Train Robbery", Reyes begins to idolize Marston's old gang leader Dutch van der Linde. After John explains his backstory and why he came to Mexico, Reyes starts to believe that he has a lot in common with Dutch and finds the latter to be very inspirational. He especially admires Dutch for believing that the system of power in the United States was terrible, that good people were unjustly made to suffer and that change was a necessary endeavor that could only succeed if it was brutal and relentless. Shortly before changing the subject of conversation, Reyes admits to Marston that he would have liked to meet Dutch van der Linde, had the latter not completely lost his mind and disappeared from public view several years ago.
• ◆Sometimes in Multiplayer he may refer to himself in the third person.
• ◆Reyes seems to be addicted to sex. During most of his interactions with John, he talks shamelessly about his various sexual exploits and partners (like his situation with Luisa, he fails to mention any of the women's names. Aside from mentioning that the reason he kept referring to Luisa as "Laura" was because he had sex with a girl named Laura). He also claimed to have slept with the Ambassador to Spain's wife when he was traveling in Europe. Reyes claims that his reason for having so many sexual encounters is for the good of the people, in an attempt to get as much noble blood into the peasants as possible, stating that he "owes it to the people to breed!"
• ◆As such, Reyes is involved in the only on-screen sex scene throughout the entire game. In the opening cutscene of the mission "The Gates of El Presidio" John walks in on Reyes having sex with a girl on the table. When John makes them aware of his presence the girl runs out the room, while Reyes shows no indication of embarrassment or shame at what he was doing, even when John asks what Luisa would think if she had witnessed the event. During the wagon ride, he says that a man like him cannot be with only one woman, as he claims it would be a disloyal injustice to the people he devoted his life to serving.
• ◆Sometimes, Drew MacFarlane will be wearing the same outfit as Reyes.
• ◆Reyes' primary weapon appears to be the Winchester Repeater, which he uses in the assault on El Presidio and the battle in Escalera. It is also, depending on the player, the weapon he uses to kill Bill Williamson/Colonel Allende.
• ◆In Undead Nightmare, Reyes is the thinnest of all the Bruisers in the game.
• ◆Reyes also appears to be the only undead to have more than one set of audio files associated with his undead appearance. While idle, Reyes shares the same - although slightly different - groans and noises as the male Fresh Undead. However, if Reyes charges at the player, he shares the same roar as the Bruisers.
