Mundo de la Torre, also called Papi, is Anita's father. He is dedicated to his family, as well as his fight for freedom. Although there aren't many scenes in the book with him directly in them, the man is constantly involved with meetings, and he is a key character in the assassination El Jefe. He wants the best for his daughters as the reader sees when he sits down and talks with Anita about the way he wants her to grab her freedom and fly someday.

When Anita has a hard time talking, he accepts her situation without ridicule and he tries to comfort her. He is the one who links the fact that she can overhear the conversations from the secret meetings with her loss of words. He is so dedicated to his cause, he is willing to give up his life for it.
