CHARACTER PROFILES

THE TORCHED CONQUISTADOR The Torched Conquistador is the Torch Marauder’s evil arch-nemesis. Nobody seems to know a whole lot about him, except that he hails from the planet Haverland and is bent on getting the best of the blue hero. He constantly interrupts the Torch's performance by beaming himself onto the video monitor. He is notorious for hiring assassins armed with light sabers, who try to put the Torch Marauder out of commission. Torch is always victorious, but one day the Conquistador just might catch him off guard....perhaps, with a new plan.		The RED CAPED ROCKER The Red Caped Rocker is an old friend who tries to steal the Torch Marauder's performance concept. He’s another superhero who’s defending the world with rock, and even has his own video taped drummer. Torch usually gets mad at him for trying to steal his act, but they always end up buddies, singing “Twin Brothers in Rock”.
JIMMY Jimmy is a regular guy who’s always looking for good music to crank up in his stereo. He’s tired of all the same old crap, and tired of having to pay high prices. So he’s quite happy whenever the Torch puts out a new CD that is both enjoyable and affordable. In his quest for righteous tunes, Jimmy inadvertently ends up appearing in an infomercial with the Torch.		TINY TORCH & BOBBY GIBBS When Video Torch felt jilted by the Torch for playing with a “live band”, he decided to get his own band together. He managed to recruit Tiny Torch on the bongos and Bobby Gibbs on howling vocals. Their first performance was rough, but in the end, revealed much promise. Be on the lookout for the next skit from this silly duo. Torch and Bobby also collaborated on the Torch photo shoot with Joyce Ventimiglia.
ALF It’s no secret that Torch is a huge fan of Gordon Shumway, better known to most folks as ALF. So, needless to say Torch was ecstatic to learn that Alf had a few holes in his schedule, and was willing to appear as himself in a couple of sketches. Torch plays the part of Willie Tanner.		MULLET TORCH When Video Torch gets a little jealous of Torch’s spiffy new haircut, he decides to hold up the show while he hops into his IROC Z and races off to get a haircut of his own. Enough said here.
TINY TORCH Tiny Torch was hand delivered in a shoe box as a gift to Torch from the fine folks at Nut Music. Though his current role in the show is minimal, he has quickly become a fan favorite.		ALZO Alzo awkwardly appears at performances, proclaiming that he is the supreme ruler of the universe and that he alone knows the fate of the Torch Marauder. Torch tries to understand his clues, but alas - they are just too cryptic for comprehension. Alzo leaves just as mysteriously as he appears, insisting that Torch wage subversive actions.
GURNEY RUTHERFORD Gurney Rutherford is a real American hero. After Torch heard about how Gurney had bravely saved a woman and her child from a mountain lion (or was it a crocodile?), he asked Gurney to be part of the show to share his heroic story. The audience gets more than they bargain for as Gurney’s fantastic tale of adventure spins out of control.		THE ANNOUNCER The Announcer has the difficult task of introducing The Torch Marauder. He does his very best to prepare the audience for what they are about to see. But even the Announcer’s unbridled and unmatched enthusiasm cannot truly make ready the unsuspecting crowd.
THE ASSASSINS The Torched Conquistador sends assassins to take down the Torch Marauder during his live performances. The assassins are so fierce that they have a entire page dedicated to them.		BASIL PIPPERTON Basil Pipperton is a surly Brit who loves to hop across the pond, and do a number with Torch. Actually, he prefers to rock with Torch U.K., so Torch graciously bows out and hands the mic over to these “Two Sticks of Dynamite(reached #37 on the UK charts).
