Fernando Sucre

Fernando Sucre, played by Amaury Nolasco, is a fictional character from the American television series, Prison Break. He was introduced to the series in the pilot episode as the prison cellmate of the series protagonist, Michael Scofield (played by Wentworth Miller).

Of Puerto Rican descent, Sucre grew up in Chicago where he had several run-ins with the law. His mother sent him to live with a relative in New York City to help him out. There, he found a steady job at a warehouse and his girlfriend, Maricruz Delgado.

Fernando Sucre was born and raised in Chicago, and since coming to Fox River has been a model prisoner. Sucre’s offense was holding up a liquor store with an unloaded firearm. He did so to secure enough cash to buy an engagement ring for his girlfriend Maricruz, whom he had met three years earlier. The police were on the scene before he had a chance to flee and he was arrested immediately.

Sucre and Maricruz had been dating for two years prior to Sucre’s incarceration and six months ago, Maricruz moved to New York after accepting a job as a buyer for a major Manhattan fashion retailer.

A month later, Sucre’s cousin Hector also moved to New York. He told his friends that his company transferred him, but those who know him best suspect he requested the transfer so that he could be closer to Maricruz.

After escaping from Fox River, Sucre learned that Maricruz and his cousin Hector were going to be married in Las Vegas. Sucre arrived at the chapel hours before the wedding, in an attempt to stop it. However, Hector had notified the local Nevada authorities, and Sucre fled the scene.

Sucre was also allegedly involved in the incident at the residence of Jeanette Owen’s, a Tooele, Utah resident who was held hostage in her own home, while members of the Fox River eight dug up her garage in search of the elusive Westmoreland $5 million.
