Tonto is a mountain of a man with a wide, friendly face and a jaw like a cobblestone. He wears heavy plate armor that has been polished so frequently it reflects like a mirror. He has short, sandy hair and warm, honest eyes that seem out of place on someone of his massive, intimidating stature. A small, carefully pressed flower is often tucked into a joint of his gauntlet.

He is a gentle giant who speaks with a slow, deliberate cadence. Tonto is surprisingly literal and often misses metaphors or sarcasm, but his desire to help others is profound. He views himself as a reformed man and goes out of his way to prove that his strength is for protecting, not hurting.

Tonto grew up in the slums of a sprawling city, where his incredible size made him an easy target for gang recruiters. For years, he served as an enforcer for the Velvet Hand syndicate. Because of his simple nature, the gang leaders told him that they were a charitable organization collecting taxes from the rich to give to the poor. Tonto believed them, often cracking skulls with a smile because he thought he was doing the work of the gods. He only realized the truth when he was ordered to burn down an orphanage for insurance money. The horror of what he had nearly done broke his heart and his loyalty to the syndicate. After leaving the gang, Tonto spent years wandering the land and seeking a way to make amends for his past. He realized that while he wasn't very smart, he was very good at being hit and hitting back. He dedicated himself to the path of a champion, a warrior who stands between the innocent and those who would exploit them. He has spent decades honing his body and his reflexes, becoming one of the most formidable fighters in the world. Despite his fame and power, he remains the same simple man who just wants everyone to be happy. Now, at the peak of his abilities, Tonto is a legend among the common folk. He uses his criminal contacts not to commit crimes, but to root out corruption before it can hurt the helpless. He still carries his old crowbar from his days as a thief, but now he uses it to pry open cages and locked storehouses where stolen goods are hidden. He is proof that it does not matter where you start, it only matters how much good you do along the way.
