Guillermo Barrera, better known as Brutale, was a deadly interrogator in Hasaragua.

When the regime in the country changed he moved the the United States to become one of crime lord La Dama's right hand men.

Along with fellow La Dama henchmen Bone-Crusher and Coyote, he was sent to retrieve an ancient scarab, stolen by the Brotherhood of Evil. During their battle the backpack with the scarab got into the hands of unsuspecting bystander Jaime Reyes. After chasing the boy in an alley with Bone-Crusher, Brutale threw knives at Jaime's back, accidentally hitting the scarab and activating the scarab, which had fused to the boy's spine. With the armor at his disposal, Jaime pierced Brutale and Bone-Crusher's bodies with his hands.[1] Amazingly, both of them survived the encounter and returned to La Dama.

Guillermo eventually received an invitation from the League of Lazarus to participate in the Lazarus Tournament with the promise of receiving immortality if he won the competition.[2] Before the first round of the competition commenced, Guillermo sparred with Black Swan[3] and later participated in a game of 'five-finger-fillet' on Soul Cliff Beach, where he cheered on Damian Wayne after he performed an impressive flourish during the game that allowed him to win.[4] During the official first round of the tournament, Guillermo tried to commence a melee with Black Swan, only to be intercepted by Lord Death Man's pupil, Flatline, whom ripped out Guillermo's heart.[5]
