Manuel Lujon is a wealthy Mexican ranchero (rancher), and one of the first people Vaillant bonds with after arriving to his new vicariate. The warm-hearted Lujon wants to ensure that all of his various servants and family members receive the necessary sacraments, but he also urges Vaillant to enjoy good food and a game of dominoes rather than merely rushing through his duties. As the original owner of Angelica and Contento, Lujon is one of the first people to experience Vaillant’s skill at asking for (and receiving) large gifts.

Book 2: The White Mules
Quotes
Soon after breakfast Father Vaillant departed, riding Contento, with Angelica trotting submissively behind, and from his gates Señor Lujon watched them disconsolately until they disappeared. He felt he had been worried out of his mules, and yet he bore no resentment. He did not doubt Father Joseph’s devotedness, nor his singleness of purpose. After all, a Bishop was a Bishop, and a vicar was a vicar, and it was not to their discredit that they worked like a pair of common parish priests. He believed he would be proud of the fact that they rode Contento and Angelica. Father Vaillant had forced his hand, but he was rather glad of it.
