Appearance

Herk is a muscular man, and has strong features, green eyes, and brick-red hair in a similar style to that of Jack Atlas. He wears the uniform of the LID top team.

Etymology

Tio (spelled as "tío") means "uncle" in Spanish, but also means "dude" or "guy" in some contexts. Herk's French name, Herc, may be short for Hercules, a possible reference to Herk's somewhat muscular body.

Biography

Pre-Arc League Championship

Herk met with Declan and Henrietta Akaba regarding the disappearance of Professor Marco, and presented to them Marco's Duel Disk and cards that his team found at the site of the incident. Later on, he met Julia Krystal, Dipper O'rion, and Kit Blade at the site of Marco's disappearance where they were searching for clues regarding his attack. He was evasive but polite to the students, telling them that evidence was still being gathered and that they should continue their studies.

Sometime later, Yuto witnessed Herk Dueling Shay Obsidian, who defeated him and sealed him into a card. Shay mailed it along with Marco's card to Declan.

Duel Academy

After Zarc's defeat and the rebirth of the Standard Dimension into the "Pendulum Dimension", Herk was freed from his card.
