Biography[]
Soledad is the leader of the Lobos New Generation Cartel (LNG), (formerly Lobos Sonora Cartel). A fierce rival of the Galindo Cartel. LNG made swift and powerful moves during the Galindo Cartel's weakest moments and took over a lot of their territory under El Banquero's lead and with assistance from the Mayans Motorcycle Club. Her brother, El Banquero was the previous leader before she had him murdered. Soledad disapproved of her brother's erratic ways and the two struggled for control of the cartel, their relationship was very fraught. Soledad is intelligent, cunning and has big ambitions for the future of the cartel. She struggles to get the respect she feels she deserves due to being a disabled woman. She knew that previously she must tread carefully around her brother as people will always side with him.
As Soledad begins to disagree more with El Banquero and after he threatens to take control of the cartel by force, Soledad resorts to drastic action to regain control, she begins to work with Miguel Galindo, former leader of rival cartel, the Galindo Cartel, in an attempt to use his knowledge and contacts to get back on top and force her brother out. She is eventually successful, employing Luisa "Adelita" Espina to assassinate her brother.
Once in charge of the powerful organisation, Soledad struggles to cement herself in the narco history books. Miguel even goes as far as telling her that her own men respect her. The relationship the LNG also had with the Mayans breaks down, leaving Soledad to try and pick up the pieces, the only way she has ever known.

Soledad also berates Banquero for only having one accountant who is in charge of all LNG financials, a man named Randall. Banquero wants to smuggle him from the US over to Mexico as he is currently wanted by the government. Banquero tells Soledad that the Mayans Motorcycle Club will be handling the transport of Randall to Mexico or they will pay dearly.
Soledad can later be seen caring for her sick mother.
"Death of the Virgin"[]
Banquero is once again receiving a lecture from Soledad who seems to be much more level-headed than him. She doesn't blame the Mayans for what they did to Randall, they killed him after discovering he was a paedophile and that not supplying product to the club is only hurting the LNG. Banquero insists that what the Mayans did is a declaration of war and he will continue to not supply them with anything.

Miguel explains to Alvarez and EZ the new deal would “challenge the belief that brutality and profit need to co-exist.” Soledad wants to dramatically increase the amount of product sold by the Mayans immediately. Miguel believes the Mayans can handle this and is ready to become the liaison between the cartel and the club. He’ll work directly with Alvarez since they have a long-standing relationship.
