"Wake up! I don't work on drunks!"

Toto, after Naranja faints

Toto Santos runs the tattoo parlour in Rubacava.

Personality[]

Toto is a sharp-tongued, and easily agitated man. He takes great pride in his craftsmanship, and becomes annoyed when clients do not cooperate, or when he is constantly interrupted.

Background[]

Toto Santos was a scrimshaw artist who had worked in Rubacava for years, housing his business in the chimney of an abandoned factory on the outskirts of town. Many sailors come to the artist for "carvings" as a memento of their time in Rubacava, because of his busy schedule, Toto relies on liquid nitrogen supplied to him by the Morgue as painkiller, making the process faster.

Toto also has a fatherly relationship with the photographer, Lola. Often unwittingly protecting the girl.

Role in Year 2[]

Toto is found working on a tattoo for the seaman, Naranja, who is consequently, the chef of the S.S. Limbo. Manny soon intervenes out of a desire for the sailor's spot on the Limbo, and tricks the man into drinking dirty hookah water while Toto and the sailor are distracted. Naranja blacks out and is put on Toto's bed to sober up, with Toto later making a phonecall to Velasco about Naranja's condition. He tells Manny about the use of liquid nitrogen, which has run out.

Lola presumably hid the photo of Sanspoof in the Santos' album with the design The Rusty Anchor for Manny to find.

Role in Year 4[]

Toto is found sleeping in his tattoo parlor when Manny returns to Rubacava, allowing him to steal the liquid nitrogen from his cabinet, which proves useful in his later exploits.
