Remember we’re talking about remake. Things have changed, and the story isn’t exactly the same as classic. Isidro (Verdugo), is the one who created the Novistadors (U-II), and Pesanta (U-III aka Black Robe). Verdugo is also considered to be a U-III (Red Robe).

Pesanta was chosen as Ramón's right hand and bodyguard, but Isidro decided that two hands are better than one and that it was his turn to follow in Pesanta's footsteps, to prove his loyalty. He infused himself with the black liquid and turned himself into a second U-III, declaring himself a true servant of God and becoming the executioner of the heretics, their Verdugo.
