Good to know
- She is only mentioned in the game and does not appear in person.
- She was a renowned jazz singer before marrying Gabriel Castillo.
- She stood beside Gabriel at both his proclamation and his execution.
- She died of breast cancer in 2007, the same year Antón learned he had leukemia.
- A historical note about her can be found at Torre del León.
Who she was
Yolanda gave birth to Antón in 1954. After Gabriel was executed in 1967, she raised Antón alone and made sure he knew his father had lost everything to the men who killed him. She kept teaching him through his 15 years of forced labour in the tobacco fields.
Why she matters
Antón speaks of her only with respect, unlike his father. Her death, and his own cancer diagnosis that year, likely pushed him to rush Viviro at any human cost. She never knew her grandson Diego.
