Chimo

He is a ghost from the Land of the Dead, and Moira's helper by choice. He is Xóchitl's older brother.

He is a young, pale-skinned Indigenous ghost. He wears a chocolate-colored ribbon around his forehead. His hair is a darker brown, and he has earrings similar to Xóchitl's (though smaller). His eyes are a shade between green and brown. He wears a pre-Hispanic-style cape, light brown with a grayish, stone-shaped buckle, and an undergarment with details in different shades of brown. He wears a tattered tunic, mostly jungle green (due to its darkness), with darker stripes at the ends of the sleeves and along the neck, torso, and lower part. He wears a fabric belt the same color as his cape, hanging in two similar sections on his right side.

She begins as just another of Moira's henchmen, loyally obeying her orders to the letter and proving herself a competent agent. But as she grows closer to her new friends, she begins to redeem herself and realize the mistake of joining the villains, revealing her humanity, especially after she confronts her sister.

In life he made a promise to Xóchitl that they would be alright, but unexpectedly Chimo died in an unknown way before the time of the Nahuala, when Xóchitl was still a child, feeling guilty for losing her sister and protecting her from the afterlife in her life instead.

At some point in his existence in the World of the Dead he meets Moira, Pascual, Deveriux and Chuletl, having a debt to them.

He first appears in his lair, reading manuscripts. He senses the arrival of Pascual, Deveriux, and Chuletl, who inform him that he must capture the baby that has arrived from the Eternal Mirror, as Moira is badly wounded. After they finish, he agrees when asked about their plan. He appears when Deveriux and Chuletl are about to attack Finado, Moribunda, and Aniceto, warning them not to approach. He gives them both a good mock fight, causing them to flee. He asks them what they were doing there and inquires about the baby. When Moribunda insists that he accompany them, he initially refuses, but eventually agrees on one condition: that he obey his word, guiding them through the Valley of a Thousand Gazes. Later, he leads them through the Cave of Silence, whispering about the danger of the lava geysers when he hears loud noises. In an attempt to obtain Leo, he asks them to take him, claiming that the place is dangerous, but they ignore him. Taking the easy way out, he strikes a rock with his spear, causing the geysers to erupt uncontrollably. He again asks for the child, though they mistake him for Moribunda, the one he had held in his arms. They are then rescued by Eva. Back in his room, he is astonished by her beauty and asks her name. When the skeletons insist she join them, she isn't entirely convinced, but agrees. When she asks what they have in mind, he replies that they will rest. He glances at his locket for a moment before falling asleep. He has a nightmare about Moira, who pressures him to catch the child before it's too late. Eva wakes him. When they leave the Cave of Silence, he briefly enjoys himself with the others, but after witnessing Leo's powers, he suspiciously moves ahead. At the fork in the road, he encounters Moira's henchmen again, who also force him to abandon the group, showing him the two paths to follow. He turns the signs, leading them toward the Desert of Tares.

There, he says it's the only way to reach their destination, subtly inciting the others to fight. Taking advantage of Aniceto's momentary lapse in attention, he grabs Leo and watches them all sink into the sand. As he retreats, the little boy urges him to rescue them, making him hesitate, so he completely abandons his mission, saving Finado, Moribunda, Eva, and Aniceto, thus revealing his betrayal of Moira and her entourage.

Later, he leads everyone to a raft, which he helps propel by rowing with his spear. When the little skeletons mention Calaca Village, he says it might be a suitable place to live. There, he reveals that he must find a way to give his locket to his younger sister, implying his frustration at not having cared for her as he should have; however, with that keepsake, she would be alright. When he sees the waterfall, he calls everyone down from the raft, worried at not having seen Leo, though he is later relieved to find him. He arrives at the Cave, indicating that they will leave using the ladder hanging above, and takes Eva's hand. When the creature begins to cry, Aniceto hands it to him, and he walks away to put it to sleep, unaware that Moira's henchmen have already caught up with them. He sees the old, wounded alebrije, and in turn, Deveriux, Pascual (holding Eva captive), and Chuletl (with Finado and Moribunda). Seeing the capsule, he ends up putting Leo inside and watches as the Owl Alebrije takes him away. There, he kneels, accepting his role, and is booed by both sides for being a traitor. When the Cave Monster appears and Deveriux falls from the ladder, he takes Deveriux's sword to try to restrain the beast, but only causes the place to begin collapsing. He advises the French ghost to work as a team, but retracts his advice when he sees him being devoured by the Monster. In order to rescue them, Chimo gives his coveted object to Moribunda, asking her to take good care of it.

He adds that he will never betray them again, begging for their forgiveness, and is trapped in the rubble alongside the Cave Monster. He survives and tracks them back to the world of the living, confronting Moira with Eva's help, though it proves quite difficult. He manages to protect the ghost from the witch's magic, but they are then struck by it and knocked to the ground. After she is bound by the little skulls, Chimo takes a metal part from a barrel to restrain her arms, trying to prevent her from reaching Eva. He witnesses Finado and Moribunda losing their voices, as well as the defeats of Moira, Chuletl, and Pascual. As the portal to the World of the Dead closes, drawing them in, he rushes to free Finado from the tree into which Moira had transformed. However, despite Moribunda's plea to leave them there, he accepts their fate, being released along with Eva by the purple skull. He bids them farewell as they walk away towards the portal, both returning to their world.

Expert fighter: He is a warrior in close combat using an obsidian spear and improvises with Deveriux's sword against the Monster.
