Biography[]
Part 3[]
In his first appearance in the third episode, he is 'picked' as one of the 'volunteers' to work in the gold production area. He refuses to do it by saying he is 'no volunteer' which angers Nairobi and results in Bogotá dragging him downstairs to the other hostages' horror. It is later revealed that was all an act and that he is in on the heist and one of the undercover members hired to help the main gang out.
He spends the majority of Part 3 working in the gold shaft along with Nairobi, Bogotá and the other volunteers. He also assists the gang in helping to recover the Governor.
Part 4[]
In Part 4, he is now guarding the hostages more and that is his main role while the main gang can focus on producing the gold and keeping guard on any threats.
He stays downstairs with the hostages and stands in front of them, holding his gun at all times. When Arturo Román caused a commotion amongst the hostages, Matías approached him to warn him but was disarmed by Arturo. However, Manila, one of the hostages, revealed herself to have been an undercover agent of the gang, and almost immediately disposed of Arturo by shooting him in the leg and lending Matías his gun back.
Part 5[]
In Part 5, Matías expresses that he wants to have a code name of a city, so that in case the heist goes wrong and they're all arrested, he will be known by the name of a city, like all the other robbers, and not sound like an intern. He chooses Pamplona, which the other gang members don't take seriously, but he insists that Pamplona is a great name. He explains that Pamplona has the wildest festival in the world, the Festival of San Fermín, which is watched by people from around the world. Even the famous author Ernest Hemingway wrote the book The Sun Also Rises about American and British expatriates who travel Pamplona to watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights at the Festival of San Fermín. Seeing his insistence, the other robbers accept his code name and Tamayo refers to him as Pamplona when he speaks to the public.
