Who is Félix Gallardo in Narcos: Mexico?
El Padrino — the man who organized the chaos · The Guadalajara Federation
Félix Gallardo (El Padrino — the man who organized the chaos) is a character in Narcos: Mexico, part of The Guadalajara Federation. Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo is a Sinaloan ex-cop with a salesman's patience and an architect's mind, and his idea remakes a hemisphere: stop feuding over plazas, unify Mexico's smugglers into one federation, and turn marijuana fields in the desert into a corporate enterprise. Félix doesn't shout, rarely shoots, and negotiates with governors the way others negotiate with farmers. The series watches the quiet man assemble an empire — and the empire teach him, deal by deal, what it costs to be its head.
