AppearanceEdit

Herc 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.

EtymologyEdit

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

BiographyEdit

Pre-Arc League ChampionshipEdit

Herc 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.[1] 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.[2]

Sometime later, Yuto witnessed Herc Dueling Shay Obsidian, who defeated him and sealed him into a card. Shay mailed it along with Marco's card to Declan.[3]

Duel AcademyEdit

After Z-ARC's defeat and the rebirth of the Standard Dimension into the "Pendulum Dimension", Herc was freed from his card.[4]
