Carpi Paolo
CharacterCarpi Paolo runs with Piccaro Calvino's crew, a low-level crook who lands a bounty after the gang lifts a rare plant. When one of his own turns on the group and takes the prize for himself, Paolo sets out to hunt the thief down and recover it.
Appearance
The production gives Paolo no detailed look of his own. He reads as one of Calvino's anonymous hired muscle, left uncredited on screen and tagged only as "Thug B" in the shooting script.
Personality
Very little of him is developed. He operates as a loyal foot soldier for his boss, quick to give chase the moment a fellow member betrays the crew over the loot. Recovering the stolen goods is what drives him.
History
After Calvino's outfit steals a Grey Ash plant, Paolo carries a bounty of 100,000 Woolongs. Rather than share the haul, another member of the gang, Roco Bonnaro, makes off with the stolen plant on his own, and Paolo sets out after him.
