El Mierda is a demon and a direct descendent to Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte herself, as well as the kingpin of the "bloodiest crime dynasty in modern history".

Background[]
El Mierda is described as "tiny and old" by Noodle. He currently runs the El Montana Wellness Centre in Patagonia, after "retiring from his evil ways a few years ago".
Involvement with Gorillaz[]
Juan, the man Murdoc claimed to be El Mierda.
In the Strobelite music video, Murdoc met Juan, the leather goods salesman, who handed him his business card. Murdoc claimed that this man was El Mierda in the Free Murdoc Campaign, and that he framed him for smuggling, landing him in jail. Murdoc then sent Noodle to Patagonia to find El Mierda, but instead found an old and tiny man running a spa. This man was indeed El Mierda, who had retired some years ago and claimed he hadn’t even heard of Gorillaz.
Trivia[]
