Biography[]
Reg Lopez was a security guard formerly employed at the Kenward County Asylum in Kenward County, Michigan. The Dark One known as Baal had taken over the asylum and had Ash Williams committed in the hopes of breaking him. Ash's allies, Pablo Simon Bolivar and Ruby Knowby came to the asylum to rescue him and found Reg Lopez hanging inside one of the rooms; a victim of apparent suicide.
In Ash Williams' delusion, Reg Lopez took on the semblance of Pablo and was actually an abusive orderly.
Notes & Trivia[]
- The character of Reg Lopez was created by director Mark Beesley and writer Hank Chilton based on concepts created by Sam Raimi, Ivan Raimi, and Tom Spezialy.
- Although the character is meant to be Latino, he was portrayed by an Indian actor in non-delusional scenes.
- Ash Williams is portrayed as being vaguely racist in Ash vs Evil Dead. As such, it is possible that his delusional inability to distinguish between Reg and Pablo is a reflection of his ignorance. However, it is just as likely that this is also an intended tactic perpetuated by Baal to drive Ash further into madness.
