Portrayed by Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr., the series' main protagonist. He is a demigod—son of Ynaguiguinid, a deity of war to Hangaway, a native warrior. He possesses great powers and incredible strength and he is the destined to be the savior and protector of both his fellow Indios and diwatas against the Spanish occupiers. The character also portrayed by Vincent Magbanua and Alden Richards in the first part of the show. GMA Network's Vice President for Entertainment TV, Lilybeth Rasonable said that "Indio was really made for him [Revilla]." Revilla finds his very first television series "exciting but very challenging" and went through rigorous acting trainings under director Laurice Guillen and Pen Medina for his preparation for the role. He also did some readings and research regarding Philippine history because "even though it is a fictional show, it has some historical undertones that should at least have some sense of accuracy."
