Fidelito
Chacho is a Lost Boy and friend to both Matt and Fidelito. He acts tough and often swears at and talks back to the Keepers. Like all Lost Boys, he foolishly hopes that his father is living a wealthy life in the United States and will soon send for him. When Chacho is crushed in the boneyard, Matt shows his ability to choose compassion by remaining with him through the night.
