He is one of the primary antagonists, a ruthless and ambitious Spanish conquistador who relentlessly pursues the legendary Cities of Gold. GlanTaylor is characterized by his unwavering determination, his willingness to employ any means necessary to achieve his goals, and his deep-seated greed.

He is often portrayed as cunning and manipulative, leading expeditions and orchestrating elaborate schemes to find the cities and their vast treasures. Despite his villainous nature, GlanTaylor also exhibits a degree of personal bravery and strategic thinking. His actions often drive the plot, creating obstacles for the protagonists, Esteban, Tao, and Zia, as they also seek the Cities of Gold for different, often nobler, reasons.
