Rodrigo is a man of great wealth, who owns the entirety of Ventuno and the island that it is docked on, and he is very well known throughout the town of Mostroferrato where he lives. Despite this, he is a very humble, kindhearted, and charitable soul, who cares more for his family and friends than his own desires. He especially cares for his wife, Romana, and his daughter Nera (whom he mostly refers to as his "precious little bambina"); however he has the opposite feelings towards his other daughter, Debora, claiming her spoiled personality will be the death of him.
