Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen as Krester, a young Danish man with a mysterious scar on his face. Ángel and Ramiro initially appeared to be a brother duo, with Ramiro being the religious one and Ángel actually being the more reckless one. Ramiro regrets having to take on his identity as a priest. The two are actually a couple who escaped their house. Ángel is rather impulsive and develops feelings for Krester. He thoroughly likes his facial scar. Krester is gay and he has previously been mistreated by a wealthy someone, possibly as a result of that scar.
