This is Mateo Hurtado. Most people will recognize him either as Jaesun's live-in boyfriend or as the short-order cook at Ruby's. He came to Victory about a little over a year ago, but he looked and acted very different then. Extended time linked very strongly to a pack of stray dogs left him pretty fried (as in balls-out nuts), and anyone from AM who saw him when he was brought in might remember him as 'that guy that barked and tried to bite me'.
Therapy and rehabilitation at AM did him a world of good. He's more or less stable now, with only a few odd ticks left over. His two female great danes, Adora and Belle, are always at his heels and are very obviously the second and third loves of his life (the first being Jaesun). Being away from them for more than a few minutes at a time will leave him agitated and anxious, and so he does his best to wheedle shopkeepers and hosts into letting him bring them inside. They're perfect ladies and very friendly... and a little too smart for their own good. Doors, cabinets, and high places don't stop them. Your food is their food.
Mateo himself is friendly but a little awkward and blind to most social cues. Nine times out of ten he looks like he has absolutely no idea what's going on, and this is probably true. He also spent about eight years away from the world at large, so technology is a strange beast to him. Laptops, smartphones, iPods are all a mystery. He's also a fan of the hit-it-until-it-works school of fixing things, so don't lend him anything under five years old that you want back in one piece.
LKF:
1. He takes a run every morning at 7am with Adora and Belle.
2. Avid comic book fan.
3. Half-English.
4. Spent a year in jail for theft.
5. Mind-linked to every dog in a two mile radius :D)-/
