Alphonse Royo

Alphonse, often called Al, Royo is a former con-man paroled from prison to help the FBI, along with his friends, brainy Ice and computer genius Charlie - with the provision that they use their talents to foil other con artists. They receive marching orders from Special Agent Christine Kowalski, with whom Alphonse is deeply attracted. Alphonse is a kleptomanic and a womanizer - the latter trait he often utilizes in their stings for the FBI. Alphonse has six siblings, spent a lot of time in foster care, and was raised by a single mom. He also has a 12-year old son, though he isn't involved in the child's life, mainly due to his status as an ex-con. While he appears to be superficial, vapid and obtuse, Alphonse carries beneath a surprisingly thoughtful, caring and chivalrous demeanor. He won't hesitate to intervene if he sees women in trouble, especially if they're attractive, though he often jests about repayment after. Despite being a con-man, Alphonse is surprisingly honest (when he isn't running a con).
