Isador Cortez, also known as Machete, is a supporting character in the Spy Kids film series, and the main protagonist in the Machete film series. He is a former Mexican Federal, who owns a shop that sells spy gadgets. His weapon of choice is the machete, although he can handle firearms perfectly fine. Cortez is fluent in both Spanish and English. On his chest is a tattoo depicting a female. Machete is related by blood to Juni Cortez and Carmen Cortez, being their uncle. Trejo has described Machete as a "badass", and said that his mother had started calling him "Machete".
He is potrayed by Danny Trejo, who also voiced Vasquez in Big City Greens and Boots in Dora and the Lost City of Gold.
