Who is Pablito in the novel, The Eagle’s Gift?

Pablito was an apprentice of the sorcerer Don Genaro, who once lived in Tula, the land of his ancestors, and knows its pyramids like the back of his hand. He tells stories about Don Juan Matus, back when the Nagual is an impetuous young jinx, explaining special teachings that the others have not heard about the second and third attention.

After author Carlos Castaneda returns to Los Angeles, Pablito runs away to Tula to die, and la Gorda sees this as an opportunity for the rest to live together harmoniously. Pablito and Josefina lives as a couple without being one. Dreaming of an odd "three-sided tug of war," Pablito unknowingly recreates an important sorcerer's training tool, which helps improve memory. On a visit to Mexico City, Pablito leads the opposition to Carlos trying to "railroad" the apprentices into crossing a bridge controlled by the fearsome Silvio Manuel. Pablito is taught higher awareness by Genaro. It is revealed that the story of Soledad being Pablito's birth mother is a put-on, an exquisite example of "controlled folly." Pablito's role in foisting the ruse is masterful.
