Hermilda Gaviria

Hermilda is Pablo Escobar's mother, a devout, iron-willed woman from Antioquia who raised her son on stories of pride and destiny. She watches his rise with a mixture of fierce loyalty and denial, defending him against every accusation, certain that whatever he has become, he is still her boy.

Paulina García plays her with a stubborn tenderness that never curdles into caricature — she gives Hermilda the conviction of a mother who genuinely cannot see the monster the world sees, only the son she made. That blind devotion becomes one of the show's quietest, most unsettling engines.
