Carlos' brother Fidel was nicknamed Rambo, but Carlos was the real mastermind. He became a vocal public figure and eventually formed the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), a group that was accused of atrocities and involvement in the drug trade, something they never denied.

Fidel and Carlos Castaño were "right-wing, psychopathic, commie-killers." After their father was murdered, they vowed to avenge his death. They led armed paramilitary groups called the Auto-Defensas against other vigilante communist groups like the M-19. After Escobar escaped, he quickly became one of their targets, and they formed the man-hunting group Los Pepes. But more on that in Episode 6.
