Lore & Background
Raquel Murillo begins as an inspector for the National Police Corps, tasked with negotiating with the robbers in parts 1 and 2. During the negotiations, she meets the Professor, who introduces himself to her in a bar under the name Salvador Martín, and embarks on a relationship with him. She falls in love with him to the point of choosing to follow him instead of arresting him, spurred on when she is embarrassed and shunned by her colleagues for bad decisions she made while in charge of the investigation.

Like the rest of the gang members, she takes the name of a city (Lisbon) to hide her identity.
