When the Revolution of 1967 occurred, Antón's father was executed right in front of him. Antón was briefly imprisoned and then sentenced to fifteen years of hard labor on Yara's tobacco fields. Rumor has it he still has the pruning knife he used as a reminder.[ He was raised by his mother who made sure her son knew that his father had lost everything he built by those who killed him. During his 15 years sentence, his mother still raised him and educated him until his adulthood, as he had to work on tobacco fields and didn't receive education from schools. As a result, Antón grew up with the view that the island was stolen from his family. After Antón finished his sentence at 23 years old, he stayed in touch with his mother for the rest of her life. In the ensuing decades, Yara experienced great economic decline, affirming Antón's belief that only the Castillo family could save the island. As such, he became El Presidente himself, elected under the promise that he could rebuild Yara into the country it had been fifty years ago. However, he began to run things with an iron fist, and those who spoke out against his methods were taken into forced labor. Economic sanctions were imposed on the country in response, which led to unrest. Responding in turn, Antón tightened his grip on the island. His resolve further increased when his mother died of breast cancer in 2007 and he also developed acute blood cancer (leukemia) within the same year. María Marquessa tried to convinced him to have a child for insurance to take over Yara after his death even though he hated children. Anton said no. After some coercion she successfully convinced and took advantage of Anton, thus Diego was born. Anton hates Maria for assaulting him like this. She has no contact with Diego.
