$~The Marginal~$ †·Tp 2·†

Sapo Quiroga: He is the undisputed leader of La Villa and the most powerful inmate at San Onofre at the beginning of season 2. He rules the yard through fear, violence, and illegal activities. He is intelligent, distrustful, and very adept at manipulating both inmates and guards. Although he usually appears calm and even joking, his moods change easily, and he punishes any betrayal ruthlessly. He enjoys being admired and obeyed, which is why he demands absolute loyalty from those who work for him. His right-hand man is Morcilla, although as the story progresses, he begins to distrust him, while placing increasing trust in Pantera, whom he considers his successor. His main objective is to prevent Mario Borges from seizing control of San Onofre, thus starting a war between the two gangs.

San Onofre Prison

San Onofre is an old prison, modeled after the former Caseros Prison. The building consists of long concrete corridors, rusty bars, metal staircases, and cellblocks surrounding a huge central courtyard. The dampness, peeling paint, and graffiti-covered walls make the place seem abandoned. Shouts, radios playing, banging on the bars, and the constant clicking of locks can be heard in almost every corner. Although guards and authorities are present, the real power is wielded by the prisoners themselves through alliances and gangs.

The Village (Under-21 Courtyard)

It's the heart of San Onofre prison and one of the most important locations in the series. Unlike a typical prison yard, it resembles a small village built inside the prison walls. There are shacks constructed from sheet metal, cardboard, wood, tarpaulins, and fabric, where the inmates of the Under-21 unit live. In the center, there's space to play soccer, train, fight, or meet. It's the most chaotic place in the prison: there are always people walking around, cooking on makeshift grills, washing clothes, or keeping watch from the rooftops of the shacks. The Under-21 unit controls this area and defends it against anyone who tries to enter without permission.

Toad Pavilion

Unlike the Villa, this pavilion is much better equipped thanks to the improvements made by Sapo and the authorities. The cells are larger, with televisions, fans, decent mattresses, and even some luxuries uncommon in a prison. It's the center of operations for Sapo and his group, where decisions are made, business deals are conducted, and important visitors are received.

Hallways

They connect all sections of the prison. They are narrow, dark, and constantly monitored. Prisoners move through them, either escorted by guards or moving between cellblocks. Many ambushes, threats, and fights begin in these corridors.

Nursing

One of the few relatively quiet places. Doctors work there.

James: A member of the Borges gang. He has a provocative nature and enjoys intimidating other prisoners. He is violent and completely loyal to his gang.

Barny: A burly prisoner close to the Borges family. He speaks little, but when he acts, he usually does so with great force. He is another of the group's trusted men.

Cramp: Member of the Under-21s. He is impulsive, defiant, and often gets into fights. He follows Toad with complete loyalty.

Emma Molinari: The prison doctor. Professional, empathetic, and determined. She tries to help the inmates without being swayed by the corruption that pervades San Onofre.

Sergio Antín: The prison director. Elegant, manipulative, and deeply corrupt. He's friendly when it suits him, but he uses prisoners and guards to maintain his power.

Luna Lunati: Head of security. Authoritarian, violent, and cynical. He enjoys intimidating inmates and often resorts to abuse of power.

Capece: A corrupt prison guard. Mocking, inappropriate, and opportunistic. He enjoys provoking both inmates and colleagues, frequently makes inappropriate comments, and abuses the authority his uniform affords him.

Mario Borges: He is the head of the Borges family and one of the most respected prisoners at San Onofre. He speaks little, thinks a lot, and rarely acts impulsively. He manipulates people to get what he wants and almost always remains calm, even in extreme situations. He is ambitious, strategic, and wields authority without ever raising his voice.

Diosito Borges: Mario's brother. He is unpredictable, impulsive, and very expressive. He can be charming and even funny one moment, and violent the next. He needs to feel valued by Mario and tends to act before thinking. He enjoys provoking others and isn't afraid of fights.

Morcilla: The Borges' right-hand man. He is strong, intimidating, and extremely loyal. He speaks little and prefers to demonstrate things through actions. He carries out Mario's orders without question and usually takes on the most dangerous tasks.

César Borges: The youngest of the Borges family. He is aggressive, temperamental, and very impulsive. He resolves almost all conflicts through violence and protects his family fanatically.

Patricio Doc: A doctor in prison. Intelligent, cultured, and calm. He tries to stay out of gang wars and usually analyzes situations before intervening. He is one of the few people who inspires trust within the prison.

Sapo Quiroga: Leader of the Under-21s and the Borges brothers' main rival. He is charismatic, defiant, and extremely violent. He rules La Villa through fear, but he also knows how to win the loyalty of the young men who follow him.

Pedro Pedraza: He is the youngest member of the Under-21 team. Insecure and sensitive, he tries to fit in in an environment where weakness is punished. Throughout the story, he matures and must make very difficult decisions.
