On the night during Hurricane Andrew when palm trees were falling all around Shalim Ortiz’s ears, he wished with all his might for superpowers.

”Alejandro can’t fly or time-travel, but he does his part,” says Ortiz of his secretive and stoic character, a newcomer to the show this season. “And we don’t know everything about him yet.””*
