Raphael Monterro is a fictional character and the first villain of the film The Mask of Zorro. In the film, he is portrayed by Stuart Wilson.
Film Biography
In the film, Spanish generals are leaving California. Raphael is the only general who refuses to leave, and to show his dedication in "protecting the country from peasants", he has three random men chosen in a large crowd to be executed. His assistant, Don Luiz, shows some dislike in his ideals. However, Zorro arrives in time to prevent the execution and later carves a "Z" into his neck, a sign never to return. He later discovers that Zorro is Don Diego De le Vega, and has him arrested for treason. A short fight ensues, in which a fire is started. Diego's wife, and (presumably) Monterro's former lover is killed by one of his soldiers. Monterro kills the soldier in revenge. Although he assures Diego he would never let her be harmed, De le Vega responds: "She was never yours to protect." As Diego heads to get his daughter, Monterro coldly incapacitates him, wanting him to live with the agony of losing everything, "That your child should have been mine." He steals Elena, Diego's daughter and has him imprisoned.
20 years later, he has Capt. Harrison Love join his yet unknown cause, as his military assistant. Monterro seeks out the original Zorro after returning to California. The first and only attempt goes completely awry, leaving Monterro to assume De le Vega is dead. Diego later escapes from prison for revenge, but cannot kill him when Elena is around. He later shares his plans with a yet-unknown Alejandro Murrieta, the brother of whom was murdered by Captain Love. His plan is to use gold to buy California from Santa Anna with gold from his own land. Zorro (Murrieta, now taking up the role and fully trained) steals the map to the mine. Alejandro goes to stop the plan, while Diego plots revenge. Diego gets it, but in a different way: he tells Elena about her true father, which causes Monterro to lock Diego away while he goes to the mine. Elena releases Diego, and the two have a final fight over the mine. As he is disarmed, Elena intervenes, causing him forcefully take full advantage of the fight. He then mortally wounds the unamred De le Vega with his pistol. The two finally fight at the edge of the gold carridge.
Monterro is killed when Diego forces the cartridge over a cliff. Monterro is tangled in the horse saddles, and the carridge sends him plummeting to his death. (in the death shot of Captain Love, Monterro can be briefly seen just a split second before the shot ends.) If he was not killed in the fall, he certainly would have died in the later explosion.

Film Biography
Love is first introduced into the film when after the Murrieta brothers finish a robbery. He wounds their leader and then Alejandro Murrieta's brother, Jaoquin. Rather than being arrested, Murrieta shoots himself. Although he was probably still alive, Love delivered the killing blow, beheading him. This creates an extreme lust for revenge in Alejandro. Later, it is revealed that he is in the employ of Don Raphael Monterro, who uses him as military aid for his current project. He is later seen at a party at Monterro's home, in which he seems to fall for Diego's daughter, Elena, who is under the impression that Monterro is her true father.
He then comes alongside the group of other Dons to Monterro's mine, named El Dorado. He explains that blasting is now a part of the mining process and then mortally wounds a slave, who is later shown to be Alejandro's original leader in their old gang. He coldly grins at the subject, since this was the second time the gang leader was shot flying through the air. Love then invites Alejandro to meet with him. In a rather grotesque scene, he offers Alejandro a drink, and puts a small jar with a severed hand with two fingers missing on the table. Love asks if he wants something else, and puts a large jar on the table with Jaoquin's severed head. He also implies that he's suspicious of Alejando. This infuriates Alejando, who breaks his cane in fury.
Love is present during the first time Alejandro is now fully Zorro. He is the one who discovers the map is missing and the first one to fight him. Zorro escapes, and Love proceeds to the mine in which to oversee the final stages and to destroy the mine, with all the slaves in it. Love lights the fuse, and then stops it by cutting the fuse when he discovers Zorro is present. Zorro manages to stop the crane pulling up the remaining gold from the mine. Alejandro and Love enter a final vicious fight. Alejandro cuts an "M" for "Murrieta," revealing that the new Zorro was the escaped Murrieta brother. Love brought this up later, saying that his brother would've shot himself at this point. Love disarmed Alejandro by sending him to the roof of the gold elevator. The two fought one last time and Alejandro disarmed and impaled Love through the chest. Alejandro revealed himself to Love, who fell on his knees. Love was later crushed to death by the wagon containing the gold bars which had fallen over the edge thanks to Diego de la Vego (who did it in a final desperate act to kill Monterro).

Ethan Gyles was a general for the Indian Stream Republic, a short-lived independent nation that is now part of northern New Hampshire in the United States. He was born in the small town of Stark, New Hampshire, July 25, 1804. The third son of Hilda and Glen Gyles, an exiled Swedish nun and an Irish brewer, Gyles managed to survive the wave of yellow fever which swept through the small town in 1808. With two of their sons buried in Stark, the Gyles family relocated to the newly-formed settlement of Pittsburg, New Hampshire. In his early years, the young Ethan struggled with frequent asthma attacks. His mother, now rather elderly and suffering from back troubles, educated him at home, where he was an avid reader and delighted himself with old war tales.
After his father was killed in a wagon accident, Gyles ran away from home and his overbearing mother (who died of pneumonia soon after). After joining and soon deserting the United States Army, in 1823 Gyles married his first wife, Maria Staggerri, an Italian milkmaid. During the three years of their marriage (which was rumored to have been forced by her father), the Gyles had no real home of sorts, but drifted from town to town on foot. Maria died in 1826 giving birth to their first child. Gyles left his daughter Maria (who soon died of the mumps) with an apple farmer and fled the state.
Gyles spent several years working in a blacksmith's shop near Concord, Massachusetts as an apprentice until 1832, when his old troubles with asthma arose. He returned to Pittsburg to live in the newly-formed Indian Stream Republic. He helped to form their first militia, and quickly rose through the ranks until January 27, 1834, when he was appointed a General. His days in the Republic, however, were marred by his addictions to gambling, whiskey, and women. His career as a general reached its climax in 1835 when the New Hampshire Militia staged on the border of the small republic. He famously declared to his troops "They can burn our houses, kill our stock, but by God they may not touch our women!". Although this caused a brief period of intense fighting, their troops were quickly outnumbered, and soon surrendered.
Gyles traveled west with his horse and his childhood friend Joeseph Shanois, to Mariposa, California, in hopes of striking it rich. After seven years of failed panning and three short marriages to various miner's daughters, he was eventually run out of town after impregnating his mistress, Patience McBride, the daughter of a saloon owner. He traveled back to the east, but his journey was cut short when he was killed in a gunfight in Chicago on March 20, 1844.
