If you master your power, you can use the web to be in more than one place at the same time. You are the only one who can change the future. And when you take on the responsibility, great power will come."

In 1973, Ezekiel Sims absconded with one of the native spiders, after killing the research team led by Constance Webb; Santiago and Las Arañas descended from the trees and attempted to save Constance, after she had been shot by Sims. Las Arañas brought Constance back to their settlement, where Santiago tried to preserve Constance and her baby by using the venom of their native spider; whilst the spider venom was able to save her baby, Constance unfortunately died in childbirth.[1]

- ―Santiago[src]
Las Arañas are believed to be crusaders who use their spider abilities and poisonous touch to punish evil men, a trait which Santiago seems to share. However, despite this sense of justice, Santiago chose to try and save Constance and her child, rather than pursue Ezekiel, suggesting he believes preserving life is more important than pursuing justice.
