| Duque de Obando Played by José María Pou |
| He was a commander of Cervantes in Lepanto and a prison partner in Algiers. But unlike Miguel he did not spend a lot of time there due to his noble status and his influence, which quickly freed him from such an undesirable situation. A widower for years, he has fallen madly in love with Leonor and this awakens the "jealous" old man within him who is so afraid for his honor’s sake that he pays relentless attention to even the smallest movement of his future wife. He is a primitive and authoritarian man, capable of a ferocious character, quick to hate, but hides under the mask of good court manners. Catholic and conservative, he belongs to a small group of hostile noblemen who are against the politics of the Austrias whom they consider to be spendthrifts and political villains. Due to his stay in Algiers and the fact that in his palace one of the rooms has been decorated with Arab elements, he has received the nickname of "The Moor".
