Background

General Miguel Butarra is the dictator in charge of San Barrios.

During the events of Airwolf: Season 4 Episode 18 Storm Warning played by Gary Reineke

Butarra lands his helicopter in a stadium and is told by Colenso that the rebels are closing in on them. Butarra walks up to Jack Paley, who is tied to a chair, and asks him where the money is. Jack doesn't say anything and Colenso hits him with the butt of his rifle. Butarra questions Jack some more and pulls out a photo of Renee Paley and Valdez holds a metal pipe against Jack's windpipe. Butarra tells Colenso that he killed Jack. Butarra then escapes in a helicopter.

At Sand Piper Island, Colenso and Valdez point their rifles at Mike Rivers and St. John and Butarra walks down the stairs. A storm rolls in and Valdez and Colenso start searching the house for the real diamonds. Butarra sees Renee wearing Jack's necklace and St. John tells him that he gave it to her. Butarra accuses St. John of coming to look for the diamonds and threatens to kill Renee. St. John tells Butarra that he knows where the diamonds are and Butarra has Valdez go with St. John to retrieve the diamonds. Mike tries to convince Colenso and Butarra that Valdez has betrayed them. The power goes off and Butarra shoots Adrian Paley. Butarra tells Colenso to look for Valdez. Butarra grabs Renee and threatens to shoot her and Jason Locke shoots him, causing Butarra to crash into a butterfly display. The display breaks open, revealing a bunch of diamonds inside and Butarra dies.
