In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is Condell and the second or maternal family name is De La Haza.
Possessing a great sense of strategy and analysis in battle, he was always underestimated by the contemporary media due to his Peruvian origin (on his mother's side). His victories in unbalanced conditions were decisive to the triumph of Chile in the War of the Pacific.
