RODOLFO FIERRO
1880 - 1915


Rodolfo Fierro was a general in Pancho Villa's army, the Division del Norte, during the Mexican Revolution.

Reckless but loyal Rodolfo joined the revolution in September 1913. He became Pancho's executioner and was nicknamed The Butcher.

Unlike Pancho Villa, Rodolfo Fierro knew to appreciate himself a bit of booze.
