Personality
Because of his minor role, not much is known about his personality. He is shown to be very competitive and quick to anger.

Steel Ball Run
During the third stage of the race, he is shown going the long way around a lake to reach the finish line. During the fourth stage of the race, Gaucho is among those who become trapped in the orchard surrounding Ringo Roadagain's cabin. He repeatedly asks Ringo how to get out of the orchard, only to be told the same thing each time: the only way out is to kill Ringo. Eventually, running into the equally trapped Gyro, Johnny and Hot Pants, he is overcome by frustration and calls Ringo out in order to kill him. Though Gaucho's shot hits Ringo's shoulder, Ringo's hits Gaucho in the chest. Ultimately, Ringo shoots him a second time, finishing him off, and can later be seen burying the body outside the cabin.

Race Stats
Gaucho never completes the fourth stage of the race, ending with a total of 17 points.
