This is a list of characters from the 2017 Philippine action-horror-fantasy drama television series La Luna Sangre.

Main cast

Malia Ortega Rodriguez / Emilio "Miyo" Alcantara / Toni Lumakad

Portrayed by Kathryn Bernardo (adult) and Erika Clemente (child), she is the New Chosen One who defeats the evil vampire marked with the cursed ink, hybrid offspring of Mateo and Lia, the granddaughter of Noah, Lyka, Roman and Ceres and Supremo's enemy. The series follows her path to fulfilling her destiny as protector of the races. After Supremo kills her parents, Malia lives in Manila assuming two identities: Miyo Alcantara (male) and Toni Lumakad (female) to penetrate Supremo's organization. Police assassinate Miyô but she resurrects from the dead with powers stronger than other vampires. She gathers the remnant survivors of the massacre and reorganizes the La Liga Unida. Malia is proclaimed LLU's Head Guardian. Malia strives to protect the three races from the evil of Supremo and restore the peaceful coexistence of the species that her ancestors fought to establish. She does not give up on Tristan and wins him back to their side, successfully averting a war that would end their kind. She gains her full powers when she transforms into a hybrid combination of werewolf and vampire.

Tristan S. Torralba / Tristan "Imperador" Imperial

Portrayed by Daniel Padilla (adult) and Justin James Quilantang (child). The story tracks his life journey as he pursues revenge against vampires who destroyed his family. He joins the Moonchasers, a vigilante group that protects humans against vampires. He has an aggressive and stubborn personality. Moonchasers' headmaster, Prof. T describes him as a warrior and "special, but difficult to control.”

Tristan is Magnus’ natural child with Rica Sison, a mortal woman. He rejects Sandrino and the evil vampires when he learns of his true nature, and despite Sandrino's warnings about man's treacherous nature and their fear and hatred towards vampires, Tristan holds on to the belief that the humans will not betray him.

After the battle, Sandrino raises Tristan from his death and awakens the cursed ink granting Tristan unparalleled strength. Tristan becomes the Imperator of the vampires. While Supremo plans their attack against Malia, Tristan secretly protects humans from increasing vampire attacks. And contrary to Sandrino's plans, he is determined to annihilate the supernatural species but is conflicted about Malia's fate because he loves her. Tristan's path is foreshadowed early in the series when his stepfather advises the six year old that his real battle would be waged in his heart. In the final battle, Tristan and Malia defeat Sandrino.

Sandrino "Supremo" Villalobo / Gilbert Imperial

Portrayed by Richard Gutierrez (adult) and Zyren Leigh Luansing (child), he has three aliases: Sandrino, Supremo and Gilbert Imperial. The story records Sandrino Villalobo's tragic existence after a series of unfortunate incidents sends him on a trajectory towards evil. He is the main antagonist of the series.

Sandrino's father, the vampire Magnus rapes his mother, Maria Villalobo, to sire the chosen one.[1] Despised by his mother, the mortal Sandrino suffers a violent childhood, his mother keeps him imprisoned. Deprived of food, starvation leads him to feed on live chickens and drink animal blood. In a fit of rage, he kills Maria when she attempts to push him off the balcony. He escapes into the forest with Barang, lonely until he meets Rica Sison, a Luna officer who loves and becomes pregnant by his father. She is the only person who shows him kindness and acceptance. When the Lunas capture Rica and kill Sandrino, Barang invokes the spell of the Cursed Ink, conferring upon him a protection from all weapons and transforms him into a vampire. Barang fuels his anger until the curse consumes his soul. He assumes the leadership of his race and becomes the Supremo, the King of evil vampires and architect of a utopian world without werewolves where humans exist solely as their food source.

He takes the name Gilbert Imperial, the name Rica meant for Tristan, meaning “a promise fulfilled.” Gilbert mingles in the mortal world as CEO of a conglomerate and sets the wheels in motion for a perfect world for vampires. On the night Jacintha stabs him with the first Werewolf's fang and destroys the curse inside him, Supremo loses the cursed ink's protection but does not die. Through the Ancient Book of Spells, he discovers the infinite power both marks grant and gets it when he defeats Tristan. Possessing both marks creates two distinct personalities: the Supremo consumed with hatred, consequently overpowering Sandrino who still retained his humanity. The battle between Supremo and Sandrino is significant to the outcome of the story. In the finale, he was killed by Tristan and Malia and thanked Tristan for defeating the evil inside him.

Jacintha Magsaysay

Angel Locsin's third character portrayal in the Moonstone Trilogy is Jacintha Magsaysay. She is Malia herself, a time traveler from the future, precursor of Malia who came to the present time when her powers had not yet manifested. Jacintha’s mission is to facilitate the path for Malia to defeat Supremo.[2] Jacintha surfaces 14 years after the LLU massacre. Gilbert Imperial hires her as his Political Strategist when he runs for President of the Philippines. On the night of the blood moon, she uses the First Werewolf’s fang to end the cursed ink inside Sandrino, stripping him of his invincibility and weakens him. She reluctantly kills Tristan before he turns into a vampire and then disappears into thin air. Angel plays Jacintha and she also reprises her role of Lia from Imortal.[3]
