Overview
Originally a professor, Eustace "Toro" Turner fell upon hard times until being plucked off the streets by Los Desperados del Diablo. Seeing as how he was on his last legs, he accepted their offer to join. For the next few years he ran as a common thug for the gang, though quickly it was realized he was equal in both brain and brawn when one of his suggestions was heard by the chief in that city. Immediately he was promoted to captain, and from there the rest was history.
At least, until recently, when he was given the opportunity to advance further by none other than one of the boss's lieutenants. With a small ragtag bunch of a misfits Toro was sent to the far-off reaches of Seattle to set a foot in the city of shadows. Now he attempts to wrangle the crew together and keep their foothold within Snohomish.
