Gild Tesoro

Name: Gild Tesoro Age: 41 Height: around 7’5

Tesoro is a very tall and muscular man with slicked-back dirty greenish blonde hair, blue eyes with eyelashes who wears a pink suit and pants with a singular white stripe going down from his suit to his pants, with white shoes. He has a very large star-shaped scar on his back, covering his Hoof of the Soaring Dragon slave mark. He is adorned with lots of jewelry, the most prominent being a clip-on chain with a star on the end of his right shoulder, as well as star-shaped earrings and a ring on every finger except his left ring finger. He wears a pair of sunglasses with wings by the lenses which he sometimes keeps on his head. He is 41, and looks to be in his forties, since he has slightly bigger lips, with slight wrinkles. When he was a child, Tesoro loved to sing, and dreamed of being in the entertainment business. However, due to his poor childhood, he turned to a life of crime. He once changed his ways when he met a slave girl named Stella. He fell in love with Stella and hoped to one day buy her freedom, but this dream was crushed after she was purchased by a World Noble. Due to harsh treatment, Stella died two years after being bought, causing Tesoro to snap and return to criminal activity after he escaped from slavery. Due to his conniving and criminal ways, he was able to establish the Gran Tesoro and achieve his dream, though his dark past caused it to become twisted and corrupt.[12] After Stella's death and his own failure to buy her, Tesoro became insatiably avaricious and opulent with an obsession for money and wealth, making it his personal dream to amass so much of both that he could supplant the World Nobles as the most powerful person in the world. His personal philosophy is that people can only succeed with money. His experiences have made him somewhat sadistic, as he takes joy in seeing people suffer, which he calls "entertainment".[12] Tesoro lives a lavish and luxurious lifestyle with absolute power over gold given his Devil Fruit ability. He showers people in gold dust when they enter Gran Tesoro so that he can encase them in gold whenever he wishes. He also keeps a tight eye on every event that occurs in Gran Tesoro. Due to his complete control over what happens in Gran Tesoro, Tesoro has developed a god complex. He also hates when people laugh in front of him without his permission, going so far as to kill in cold blood if caught doing so. Tesoro is fond of saying "I decide who laughs," something the World Noble who bought Stella once said to him. Tesoro's main objective in running Gran Tesoro is to drive visitors into severe debt and forcing them to work to pay it off, which is impossible to achieve.[3] He is also shown to care less about the people forced to work for them provided that they entertaining to him.[2] Due to once being a slave to the World Nobles, Tesoro hates wealthy people and aristocrats. Ironically and hypocritically, he is a wealthy person himself who revels in his own status while looking down on the less fortunate.[4] The reason why he surrounds himself with beautiful women like Carina and the Tesoro Girls is not because of love or lust, but because he thinks that beautiful women are something that a powerful man needs to show off to make others understand his wealth and power.
