El Papagayo was a Mexican bandit during the 1800's. Jonah Hex first encountered him when Quentin Turnbull tricked him into infiltrating his gang as Hex believed he was working on behalf of the Secret Service. Hex failed to stop El Papagayo and the two later crossed paths several times becoming bitter enemies.
Jonah Hex is revealed to have eventually killed El Papagayo in the graphic novel Jonah Hex: No way Back.
