Character from The Dollars Trilogy by Sergio Leone / United Artists
Tuco's older brother — a Franciscan friar who built something that lasts, and whose reunion with Tuco is the emotional center of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Pablo took the path Tuco couldn't: the church, discipline, service, the slow work of building something that outlasts the man who built it. He has made something of his life. He is aware that Tuco has not. The scene between them is the film's hidden center. Pablo confronts Tuco with the truth — their parents are dead, Tuco hasn't visited, Pablo has built a mission school — and Tuco responds with a speech about what it cost him to be the one who didn't get to go to the seminary, who had to become something else to survive. Both of them are right. Neither of them can say it simply. After they part, Tuco cries. He doesn't know Blondie is watching.
A Franciscan monk in the coarse brown robe of his order, lean and weathered in the way of a man who works with his hands and his faith. Older than Tuco but similar-featured. His face when he sees Tuco carries everything: recognition, pain, something that might be love if love could coexist with that much disappointment.
Also known as: Pablo Ramirez, Pablo, Brother Pablo
