Paulo Cobine

Master Paulo Santorini

Paulo is a retired carnival barker and ringmaster. He's a great guy who loves to laugh, but is too truly the epitome of an alcoholic. It is hard to trust him when he says he will do something, quite simply because he will not remember he said he would do it. You can anything he says to the bank though; the man has a mind like an overactive steel trap.

Facial Features

Paulo has a jovial, round face with a small little mustache keeping his upper lip warm.
