Ernesto Salas is the only son of Pancho Salas who once served as the Deputy Director of Dossoles' International Trade Management Department and the assistant for the city's mayor Candela Sanchez. However, he was secretly plotting a terrorist attack alongside his father and step-sister Rafaela in order to wake the people up of the harsh reality in Bolívar. During the 8th season of the Dossoles Warrior Championship, he acted as a guide for Ch'en and Lin Yühsia, who were initially unaware of his involvement. The attack was thwarted in the end and both Ernesto and Rafaela were miraculously pardoned by Candela, although it came with a price of losing his job and their father's incarceration. Wanting to find a new life, Ernesto accepted Ch'en's invitation to join Rhodes Island, where he becomes a combatant under the codename "Tequila".
