Rafael Olvera

Rafael Olvera is a major character in The Curse of La Llorona. He is portrayed by Raymond Cruz. He is a former priest and member of the Church before leaving under unknown reasons to become a curandero (Spanish for native healer/shaman). Though at first refused, he helps Anna Tate-Garcia and her children when they are confronted by the malevolent spirit known as La Llorona (Spanish for: The Weeping Woman)

History
Not much is known the history of Rafael Olvera, except according to Father Perez, he was once a priest and thereby a former member of the Church which follows the Vatican. He has stated to have gone rogue for personal reasons, speaking to Anna about the Church seeming to not offer much to anything in service to evil.

In 1973, Los Angeles, after the death of La Llorona, he helps Anna Tate-Garcia to defeat her spirit.
