Ramon Salazar

Ramon Salazar is the tertiary antagonist of ''Resident Evil 4. ''He was the eighth castellan of a fortress near an unnamed village in rural Spain which was governed by a religious cult known as the Los Illuminados. Although his diminutive stature resembled that of a ten-year old and his gray hair and wrinkled face gave him the appearance of an eldery man, was only 20 years old.

Background
Ramon Salazar, the eighth castellan, lived alone with his butler and had no immediate family since childhood. This left him vulnerable to Osmund Saddler's influence, who succeeded in indoctrinating Salazar into becoming a fervant believer in Los Illuminados' teachings. Salazar became convinced that he had to undo the seal of the Plaga in order to atone for the "sins" of his ancestor, the First Castellan. Once the excavation of the Plaga had begun, he was injected with one of the parasites. This would give him power over the Ganado, most of the Los Illuminados' cultists, and two fearsome, mutated bodyguards known as Verdugos. Eventually, he was completely taken over by the power of the parasites. Salazar became a recluse in his castle, as he no longer cared for anything but the survival and domination of Los Illuminados, which led to his assistance in the kidnapping of the U.S. President's daughter, Ashley Graham. Only his butler knew the truth of his full spiritual incapacitation.
