Ramon Valerion: Mirana's father and Luiz's right hand man. He is the mastermind who supports Luiz's reign over the Medellin cartel. He has saved Luiz from numerous assassination attempts and bad deals and at this point is more than family for the Sanchez family.

Rosa Martinez: Wife of Miguel and mother to Alejandro and Sandra. She is an independent and strong-minded woman, who has perfectly balanced her family with managing the cartel.
