Alvaro (played by Jorge Román) is a protagonist in La León.
Alvaro is an island resident questioned about the Misioneros and shown working on an old, poorly maintained boat. He becomes the target of El Turu's escalating verbal abuse after the football celebration, yet responds defiantly rather than submitting to the confrontation. El Turu (played by Daniel Valenzuela) appears in La León.
El Turu is an island resident who takes part in the football match and its communal celebration. Afterward, he confronts Alvaro in front of others, using homophobic insults and repeatedly challenging him, turning the island's broader tensions into a personal and aggressive conflict. Iribarren (played by José Muñoz) appears in La León.
Iribarren is involved in practical work on the river and around the island. He suffers after inhaling smoke while burning rubbish, but soon returns to his duties, reflecting the difficult working conditions shared by the local community rather than directly participating in the conflict between Alvaro and El Turu. Marinaro Julio (played by Diego Quiroz) appears in La León.
Marinaro Julio participates in the football match that briefly unites the island's residents amid tension over the Misioneros and a recent death. His presence belongs to the collective celebration of local pride, where the team's victory is presented as belonging to everyone born on the island. Gadea Padre (played by Daniel Sosa) appears in La León.
Gadea Padre is the person receiving condolences after a young man's death at the opening of the story. While others debate whether the death resulted from the Misioneros or suicide over a girl, the tragedy connected to him deepens the island's already growing anger and division.
