Calavera, the Skull Keeper was a character who appeared in the first episode of the third season of From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series. He was a Xibalban demon who had power over people's minds once he had their skulls. He was ultimately killed by Seth and Richie when they burned him and then shot his head off.

History[]

In ancient times, Calavera served the great armies by infiltrating enemy lands. He traveled from one village to the next posing as an artisan, and destroys tribes from within. It is also stated that he doesn't kill his victims, but instead feasts on their skulls and once he has said skull, he owns the mind.

Throughout From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series[]

Season Three[]

In Head Games, Calavera rose above the ground alongside Brasa after the Titty Twister was blown up by Carlos Madrigal. It is revealed that he has been working with Brasa and Amaru to infiltrate the culebra organization to take them all down, most importantly the Lords. He used Alonzo, Venganza's bodyguards and the Gecko's assistants to get to the Lords and an amulet. Richie and Seth then go to confront Calavera, and Richie's skull is almost taken away by Calavera before Seth sets him ablaze. After both Richie and Seth set him partially ablaze, Richie shoots his head off, killing him.
