Tulio (The Road to El Dorado)

“	Remember the little voice that tells people to quit when they're ahead? You don't have one!	„
	~ Tulio

Tulio is one of the two main protagonists (alongside Miguel) of the 2000 Dreamworks film The Road to El Dorado. He is a Spanish con artist, who, with his partner, discovered the city of El Dorado, where they were adored by its population due to them mistaking him and Miguel as being gods.

He can often act rude towards others, such as telling Miguel to stop playing his guitar after Tulio failed to impress a lady with his dice, calling Altivo a dumb horse and refusing to apologize when he was proven wrong, even coldly telling Miguel to not get attached to him.
