Pablo Perez

Pablo Peréz, nicknamed "Perry" by Ricochet, is a Brazilian parrot who was Ricochet's first deputy. Unlike Ricochet's other deputies, he was originally a con man and got the job as a "mercy offering" by Ricochet.

Personality
Pablo is smooth, charming and known to keep a cool head under pressure, although he's capable of losing himself to anger when he finally snaps. He at first appears quite lazy and lackadaisical when one first meets him, but this is really a front to the brilliant mind underneath. A brilliant strategist, his shrewdness has literally saved his life on several occasions when he was dealing with dangerous criminals. During their first few cases together, Ricochet often allowed Pablo to talk to the criminals for this very reason. Pablo can be selfish and rather greedy especially when money is involved; during an undercover case, he nearly got Ricochet and himself killed due to pickpocketing several people's jewels. Despite these traits, and the fact that he never truly got over the "thrill" of stealing, Pablo is a good person with a sense of honor and loyalty; it was this that first got him on Ricochet's side. He doesn't like to express his feelings to people in fear that he'll get them hurt, but most of his friends, including Ricochet, can pick up on his cues.

History
He immigrated to Mexico from Brazil and later Texas when tensions in the country forced him to leave, and in order to survive he took up conning people. He got away with it for several years before he was later caught by Ricochet and sent to prison in Texas, with the authorities planning on sending him back to prison in Mexico. Ricochet, however, gave him a second chance to start over and with the help of J.P. Nuggets gave him the job of deputy. Pablo worked with Ricochet for three years before later quitting to get married to Joya Melendez.
