The Spaniard is one of the men from a Spanish ship that crashes near the island where Crusoe lives for a long time. All the crew is rescued by cannibal tribe and taken to another island nearby. The Spaniard and the rest people from the ship are meant to be eaten as ritual victims, but, luckily, Robinson Crusoe appears, the one who saves him. In that way, he becomes one of the members of Crusoe’s team, that Robinson calls “kingdom.”
The man never shows his traits, and we can’t consider him as a complete character of the Defoe’s novel. The Spaniard is a good example of an indifferent attitude which is a notable part of Crusoe’s inner world.
