Flavio
Flavio is a "famous" Rogueport entrepreneur. He has in his possession many fine ships, his favorite being the S.S. Flavion, which he and Mario used to travel to Keelhaul Key. It was unfortunately destroyed in the very same voyage. He enjoys believing that he is a fearless, brilliant man that others idolize and envy, but he is not particularly popular among his crew, or anyone, as a matter of fact.
Admiral Bobbery's last wish was to drink his bottle of Chuckola Cola, which was in Flavio's possession (he had found it and claimed it as his own).
Flavio's ancestors stole the Skull Gem from the Pirate King Cortez and the artifact has remained in his family until the day Flavio traded it back to Cortez in exchange for Cortez's help (and use of his ghost ship). The Skull Gem itself proved to be the only way of opening the secret entrance to the Pirate's Grotto, home of Cortez's ship, the Black Skull, and the fifth Crystal Star. It is also the source of the Black Skull's power, allowing it to sail.
Apparently, after the incident, he got insurance for his boat wreck and became the second richest man in Rogueport.
Flavio was punched in the face by Zess T. after causing gourmet ingredients to spoil on the dock by holding up a crew with a two-day story. He temporarily lost his memory as a result.
Tattle
- That's the entrepreneur, Flavio. He's like, super-rich, and he owns lots of ships. What's he doing in here so early in the day, though? Think he's doing OK?
Trivia
- He is also known to be the editor of the mysterious magazine Foppish Gourmet Weekly.
- In the final RDM issue of the game, it states that Flavio is 25 years old.
- Flavio is the "Professor Kolorado" of Thousand-Year Door, however in sharp contrast to Kolorado's recklessness inside the volcano, Flavio is a coward.
- Flavio's name is most likely derived from the Latin word flavus, "yellow", a reference to the color of his skin.
