Character Design: He's a Hispanic wrestler...not exactly creative, but hey, at least he's Hispanic, and in video games that's a rare thing, especially for a protagonist. Still...he's a wrestler.
Combat Usefulness: He can be amazingly useful in one particular instance where he gets a level six slot before anyone else, but that's it. He is overshadowed by a lot of others after that.
Tilt: Frankly, I'm not too fond of him. Sure, he has an interesting and somewhat touching story, but beyond that, he's just not an interesting character. He feels a lot more like a stereotype to me than human, and that takes off serious marks.
Final Grade: C.
