General Ramiro Posada is a secondary character in The Book of Life. He is the leader and general of San Ángel's army and the father of Maria Posada.
Personality[]
General Posada is a serious man and even occasionally severe; especially with his daughter Maria Posada to whom he tries to impose his ideas of how an educated young lady should be.
However, he is a father who really loves his daughter and a general who cares about the welfare of the inhabitants of San Ángel.
Role in the film[]
General Posada is the father and the only appearing parent of Maria Posada. Despite seeming a very overly strict parent, such as when he sends his daughter off to Spain so that the nuns there will teach her to be a more proper young lady, he still cries when saying goodbye to María before she boards the train leaving for Spain.
General Posada does love and care for his daughter very much and dearly, but expects her to follow in his expectations and marry Joaquín Mondragon so that he will remain and protect the town of San Ángel from Chakal and his army of banditos instead of going off elsewhere to fight bandits.
