Amaury Nolasco as Fernando Sucre
Fernando Sucre was born and raised in Chicago, where he dated and fell in love with Maricruz Delgado. Without enough cash to buy an engagement ring for her, he held up a liquor store with an unloaded firearm, but was caught by the police after a tip-off from Sucre's cousin and rival Hector.
As a model prisoner, Sucre was focused on getting out of prison as soon as possible, after finding out that his cousin Hector was after his girlfriend, Maricruz. Maricruz had recently moved to New York to work as a buyer for a major Manhattan fashion retailer, and Hector had followed suit a month later, claiming that his company transferred him, but those who knew him best suspected he wanted to be closer to Maricruz.
Being a model prisoner at Fox River came to an abrupt stop the moment Sucre got involved with his cellmate, Michael Scofield. Although initially, he did not want to participate in Michael’s plan, Sucre quickly changed his mind when he found out that Hector was going to marry Maricruz, even though she was already pregnant with Sucre’s child. He then readily put himself at risk and joined Michael (with whom he had become close friends), Lincoln and several other inmates, despite being a few months away from completing his sentence.
After they escaped from Fox River, Sucre separated from the others in pursuit of Maricruz, who was set to tie the knot with Hector in Las Vegas. When Sucre got to the chapel, Hector called the police, forcing Sucre to go on the run again without being able to talk to Maricruz. With nowhere else to go, he decided to reunite with Michael, Lincoln and some of the other escapees in order to get D.B. Cooper’s buried money. Escaped serial killer, T-Bag, ended up double-crossing everyone, and Sucre eventually went back to looking for Maricruz. He found her in Ixtapa, but because someone recognized him on his way there, former Fox River C.O, Brad Bellick caught up with him and Maricruz. In an effort to save Maricruz, Sucre agreed to lead Brad to T-Bag. Unfortunately, T-Bag eluded capture by shooting Brad in the leg and stabbing Sucre in the chest with a screwdriver.
