Antonio "El Palo" Varga
If you've spent any time around Heywood you've likely heard the legend of El Palo. Tony lost his eye early in his years with the Valentinos after a vicious fight with 6th Street. Soon after he received his new cyberware, another gang member Carlos laughed at him and said he looked like he was wearing a golf club—el palo de golf. The name stuck and it caused Tony a lot of grief.
As a young man unsure of how to handle a dispute with a fellow gang member, Tony went to Padre for advice. Padre dispensed his usual wisdom.
"Antonio, the Good Lord in all his wisdom did say, 'A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.' And I say unto you, take the gift of your new name, and show Carlos your true strength."
Uncertain about Padre's true meaning, he recounted the conversation to Jackie who argued that Padre gave his blessing to teach Carlos a lesson. A few days later Tony's mother found a gold-plated golf club on their front porch, and Tony knew that Jackie was right.
Later that night, Tony and Jackie took to the streets, golf club resting on his shoulder, flashing as it catches every streetlight. Drunk on Centazón and high on youth and violence, Tony nearly beat Carlos to death, and would have if Jackie hadn't stepped in.
Tony himself denies the event happening. He says they simply had a chat, and Carlos refused to discuss it with anyone. He died a few years later, leaving Tony as the only witness to the event. But sometimes legends become more useful than facts, as the saying goes, and Tony doesn't mind when he hears whispered warnings of El Palo when he walks into a room. In fact, they usually make his life a little easier.
