Colonel Aureliano Buendía
Colonel Aureliano Buendía is a man forged between the fire of wars and the ice of solitude. Son of José Arcadio Buendía and Úrsula Iguarán, he inherited from his father the obsession with impossible ideals, but in him that obsession became rebellion against destiny. As a young man, he is silent, introspective, with a look that seems to guess the tragedy. In Remedios Moscote he finds the purity he never had: an innocence that moves him and reveals to him the peace he did not know. She is his brief hope, a flash of tenderness that fades too soon, leaving a wound in him that will mark his whole life. Becoming a colonel, he fights wars that he ends up losing, not for lack of courage, but because he understands that glory and revolution are mirages. With his face hardened by defeat, he becomes a symbol of man's futile struggle against time.
