Backstory; Polo (as everyone calls him) was a close childhood friend of Guzmán and Ander and had been in a relationship with Carla since they were twelve. He was a wealthy individual and the son of two influential lesbians, which drew much attention to his family dynamic, but also allowed him to often do reckless things in the hopes that his mothers would bail him out. Polo began experimenting with his sexuality when still in a relationship with Carla, and eventually discovered that he was bisexual. However, he seemed to have more affinity for men and revealed that Guzmán was why he realized he was attracted to men. Polo is a popular student at Las Encinas. Carla sleeps with a new student, Christian, whilst Polo watches, which is his idea. They are eventually caught out on the situation but can convince Christian that the trio should begin a polyamorous relationship. Eventually, Carla breaks off her relationship with Polo and begins exclusively dating Christian. He becomes determined to win Carla back and take back a watch that Christian was accused of stealing from Carla, which he knew was in Marina's possession. One night at the school pool, Polo approaches Marina and demands she hands over the watch. Marina begins toying with Polo, pointing out that Polo is wrong to think Carla would get back with him to retrieve the watch. Marina begins laughing at him. Polo warns her not to mess with him, causing her to slap him and walk away. As she attempts to walk away, Polo — in a mad rush — picks up the nearby trophy and hits Marina over the head. Marina begins bleeding out and, afraid that he will be caught, Polo takes the watch and leaves her bleeding out in the school pool. She dies moments later. Polo has no choice but to tell Carla and Christian what he has done. Both are shocked at the situation, however, they attempt to cover up the murder. Christian gives Polo his shirt and the three hide the trophy. They return to the dance and talk no more of the events that have unfolded. When he is interviewed by the inspector, Polo does not tell her anything, simply remarking that he and Marina were friends. He is often smartly dressed, wearing smart trousers and often, buttoned-up shirts. Polo is seen to be a caring, loyal character keen to protect those around him. Despite this, he is usually short-tempered, and willing to use those around him for personal gratification; whether socially or sexually. Polo showed an utmost desire to protect his childhood lover, Carla. He was extremely remorseful of his actions, however. It could be said that Polo just wanted to fit in with those at school. His family draws attention from others given he had two mothers. It is also suggested that Polo was mentally unstable even before Marina's death due to his unwillingness to come to terms with his sexuality and the harsh demanding attitudes of his parents combined with the fact he was being manipulated and pressured psychologically by Carla and Guzmán who were supposed to be people who loved him yet refused to accept this as the truth. He's currently not very popular, as Samuel openly and correctly suspects Polo killed Marina.

Relationships; Carla Rosón Caleruega= Polo was willing to go to extreme lengths to force a relationship with Carla, however, and became extremely jealous when she began exclusively dating Christian. His jealousy, and urge to fix his relationship with Carla eventually forced him to murder Marina. She covered up the murder to protect Polo. Despite this, she eventually came to resent Polo.
