In Lonely Satellite, Escobar is Nicola Strozyk's husband. He lives in South Los Angeles. Thirty years after the nuclear attack that demolished the city, in a time when most schools have been permanently shuttered due to lack of funding, Escobar has re-opened the University of Southern California and has been operating it as an ad-hoc institute of higher learning, with people donating time and services to keep it running. It is implied that he's a very dangerous guy, though he seems outwardly very pleasant.
