Santiago is a Shepherd boy from Andalusia, Spain, and is the protagonist of The Alchemist. He is curious to learn about the world around him, so he chooses to travel around Spain and be a shepherd instead of being a priest like his parents wanted him to be. Santiago has a dream leading him to Egypt to find treasure, per King Melchizedek teaching him about Personal Legends. As Santiago’s journey goes on, he becomes more curious about the Soul of the World. As he crosses the desert with The Alchemist, he learns more about the Soul of the World through listening to his heart. Ultimately, he learns most from looking at the omens around him.
