Don Alejandro de la Vega is Diego's 48-year-old father. A wealthy landowner and former Governor of the Region, he appears to be a stern, self-assured man, yet he is actually a compassionate and gentle soul who aids oppressed civilians whenever possible. He labors diligently on his farm to safeguard his family's robust financial standing, although he has little influence over the government officials dominating his region. He is among the few who suspect, nearly from the beginning, that Zorro could be his son, despite the boy's laziness, incompetence, and cowardice.
