Fernando Ruiz was a disgruntled Spanish officer who was sent out to protect to a small Spanish fort in the jungles of South America. The officer was supposed to meet with the Pirate Lord, Eduardo Villanueva, to pay him for his services to the Spanish crown. Ruiz would rather have been back in Spain, enjoying bull fights and flamenco dancers. Unfortunately for Ruiz, Hector Barbossa, Diego, and Gombo attacked the fort, overcame Ruiz and his men and stole Villanueva's gold. Due to Diego's kindness, he made sure Ruiz and his men were spared from Barbossa's blade.
