Armando

Armando Gutierrez is the chief of the castle in the Disney Channel animated series, Elena of Avalor. He is an anxious person and likes to get things done quickly. This makes him clash a little with Elena, who is more of a procrastinator around royal duties. He is very knowledgeable about Avalorian legends and a good story teller according to Elena.

Appearances

In the special, Elena and the Secret of Avalor, Armando serves Shuriki out of fear but has never forgotten the spirit of Avalor. He shares traditional lore, dances and the symbolism of the jaquins. When learns that Princess Elena has returned, he points out to Estaban that they should be helping her because she is the rightful heir and Esteban's cousin. Later he helps Elena and Sofia free the rest of the Royal Family of Enchancia.  He later stands with the people of Avalor as they all fight for their freedom.

In the episode "Scepter of Light" he has shown to fear the Solar Eclipse because of Orizaba, a moth fairy who has been banished into the spirit world. While Armando believes she's real everyone else believed she was just a fairy tale. When Orizaba arrived, he was frightened by her and told Elena how powerful Orizaba can be and how she is usually sent back to the spirit world.

Armondo is an excellent Olaball player and is even on the Royal Olaball team. His loyalty to Elena is so strong, he's willing to face his fears to protect her from real or imaginary enemies. It appears he has a friendship with Higgins and is seen trying to encourage his friend to be braver.

He does have a tough relationship with his brother Santos, brought on by Santos insulting and teasing him, causing Armando to lose his temper and prove Santos right when he wrecks things in his frustration, but soon manages to prove how successful he's been under Elena allowing him to get his brother to apologize and improve their relationship.
