El Emisario (The Emissary), real name Gonzalo Yana, is a production manager for Santa Blanca Cartel and is located in Ocoro. Since Ocoro is the biggest cocaine producer and El Emisario is the grandson to El Yayo, he doesn't spend much time in the province and instead spends most of his time doing whatever he wants, so when something goes wrong he usually relies on other buchons like Marcus Jensen to help him with his job.
Gonzalo is a leader of his people and a powerful businessman. He doesn't like the violence and the blood, but he tells himself that it's not his problem. From a traditional Cocaleros Family of the Aymara culture, he believes the coca plant is sacred and if you corrupt it with chemicals the plant will harm you. For them cocaine is not a gift, it is the punishment in disguise, and not their responsibility.
His grandfather, El Yayo, founded the first coca-workers union back in the '60s. Through the union, his grandpa got control of 80% of the coca leaf production in the country. El Yayo was considered the first Emisario, as he produced coca leaves to sell to the highest bidder. Gonzalo was always by his side growing up, he felt the power and respect the people had for his grandfather. So, when El Yayo started to grow old he passed the torch to Gonzalez because he was the oldest male family member. He knows everything about farming coca and he knows everyone his grandfather does business with. Some of the people he deals with now knew him as a child.
After destroying several Coca Labs on boats and the mainland, The Ghosts captured El Emisario's personal assistant, who gave them the code to the main coca lab, where they destroyed the caches of cocaine and uploaded a virus to the main control system, shutting it down.
Hearing of this, El Emisario ordered sicarios to capture a hospital to convert into a temporary lab. With the help of Pac's rebels, the Ghosts defended the hospital and later recovering a truck filled with vaccines captured by La Unidad. Tracking down El Emisario, the Ghosts discovered his hacienda defended by La Unidad and the cartel. After entering, they discovered Emisario had committed suicide rather than fail El Yayo. He left a note for Sueño taking the blame.
