| ~ Vincente De Santa to John Marston. |
| “ | John Marston: Who is this man we're looking for, the leader of the rebels? Vincente De Santa: Abraham Reyes? He is a traitor, a liar, a coward and a sinner. A hero who has done nothing. John Marston: That's a nice image. Vincente De Santa: He is from a rich family. A man born in a golden cradle, who pretends to fight for the poor. He is taking advantage of the ignorant and the weak-minded. John Marston: He must be telling the people something they want to hear. Vincente De Santa: Of course he is! All that bastard does is stand on a balcón giving speeches. It is easy to make promises you can never keep. Reyes is a coward, blinded by love for himself. All he does is write poems and songs about winning battles he never fought in. |

| ~ De Santa's negative opinion on Abraham Reyes. |
Captain Vincente De Santa is a major antagonist in the 2010 action-adventure video game Red Dead Redemption, serving as one of the three secondary antagonists (alongside Bill Williamson and Javier Escuella) of the Nuevo Paraiso chapter.
He is one of Colonel Allende's right hand men who initially greets John Marston with a warm reception when John first enters Mexico saying that he had been sent to track down Bill Williamson and Javier Escuella. De Santa has John do a few missions for him in order to earn his trust. Unbeknownst to John, Allende was actually hiding Bill and Javier all along.
He was voiced by Hector Luis Bustamante in motion capture.
History[]
After John Marston catches a ride with his friend, Irish, to Mexico, Irish suggests that John speak to the provincial governor, located in the capital of Escalera. John then makes his way there, and ends up meeting Captain De Santa outside the mansion gates. De Santa's tasks to Marston included escorting supply trains across Nuevo Paraiso, setting buildings used by rebels on fire, and slaughtering rebel strongholds. Over time, John Marston grew to strongly dislike him, as his tasks often included murdering Mexican citizens, burning down innocent people's homes, and capturing young Mexican women to give to Colonel Allende and other Mexican soldiers. John also hated the brutal violence he saw the mexican army use against rebels and citizens.
Eventually, Captain De Santa is ordered to help betray John by claiming that Bill Williamson and Javier Escuella were both being held inside the church in Chuparosa. Once John entered however, a Mexican soldier knocked him unconscious. Later that night, Captain De Santa calls Marston a traitor, and prepares to execute him, even raising a revolver to John’s head. However, a bullet whizzes through the air, and kills a solider nearby causing chaos. In all the confusion, Abraham Reyes' rebels showed up and attacked De Santa and his men. John successfully escaped, and helped the rebels kill the Mexican soldiers including Captain Espinoza. Unfortunately for them, De Santa escaped as well, and returned back to Escalera.
Luisa Fortuna, an ally to Reyes and his men, eventually informed Marston that De Santa was sent to oversee and supervise a massacre in a cemetery known as El Sepulcro. She tells John to accompany a group of rebels and go kill De Santa. The rebels attacking distracted the soldiers, while Marston lassoed De Santa, and brought him back for questioning. Marston, who’d grown sick of De Santa's lies, beat him to a bloody pulp. De Santa finally gave in, saying Javier Escuella was holed up at Casa Madrugada. At this point, 2 things can happen. Marston can give De Santa to the rebels, or he can execute De Santa himself. Some dialogue will be different, depending on if Marston kills De Santa himself or lets the rebels do it instead. Either way however, Captain De Santa dies, leaving the regional Mexican Army without either of its 2 leading captains.
Undead Nightmare[]
De Santa makes an appearance in the Undead Nightmare dlc. John Marston is sent to burn the Sepulcro graveyard in order to slow the rising hordes of Undead. After burning all of coffins, De Santa rises from the grave, hungry for flesh. Upon arising, he seems to be aware of John's presence, and states "Mexico loves you Marston." in a haunting voice, before charging at John. John however dispatches De Santa with a shot to the head, putting him back in the grave for good.
