What alias does Barry Seal use in Narcos?

Barry Seal uses the alias “McPickle” in Narcos.

The alias is attached to the series’ version of Seal, an American pilot and smuggler recruited to move cocaine for Pablo Escobar’s Medellín cartel. It gives the character a memorable cover identity while underscoring the show’s blend of serious organized crime history and darkly comic details.

Seal is introduced during the first season as the cartel expands its transportation network. His aviation experience makes him useful for moving cocaine from Colombia toward the United States, where the Medellín organization is building a lucrative distribution system.

The alias is specific to the show’s characterization and should not be confused with the nicknames of other Narcos figures. “Cockroach” belongs to Mateo Moreno, the Chilean chemist played by Luis Gnecco, while “Poison” is associated with Roberto Ramos. Dylan Bruno portrays Seal in the series.
