Tulio is one of the two main protagonists of The Road to El Dorado. He is voiced by American actor and comedian, Kevin Kline.
Appearance[]
Tulio is a tall and slender man with blue eyes. He has long, wavy black hair, tied back with a purple ribbon in a low ponytail, and a goatee and light stubble. He wears a blue collared long-sleeved shirt with rolled up sleeves under a brown vest, green pants with a black belt, and brown shoes. He appears to be in his mid-20s to early 30s.
Personality[]
Tulio tends to be the more strategic, logical, and level-headed of the two protagonists. He is initially more interested in wealth and fame than adventure (a conflicting trait with Miguel), but has a good heart: In the end, he is willing enough to give up his gold in order to protect the citizens of El Dorado from Hernán Cortés's army.
In times of trouble, Tulio is usually the one who comes up with a clever plan. He tries his best to remain realistic in every situation in order to stay out of trouble. A quick thinker, he is able to use words and improvisational acting to his advantage (like Miguel), and although he and Miguel have opposite personalities, values and ideas, the two share a strong bond, and are unable to stay mad at each other for long without feeling guilty. Despite his developing relationship with Chel, he still cherishes his and Miguel's camaraderie.
Biography[]
Backstory[]
Little is known about Tulio's early life, but it can be assumed that he knew Miguel for years. At one point, he and Miguel met a "girl in Barcelona". Eventually, the duo ended up in Seville, conning people out of their money using a pair of loaded red dice.
