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.
