Bolo

* Normal
* Imprisoned

“*This is not your fate. I offer not madness, but salvation. We can change what has become.*”
―Bolo
**Bolo** was the only Titan to remain uncorrupted by Invictus and rebel against his fellows and imprison them all in Final Space, himself included, allowing the Titans to take revenge and imprisoned him within a giant crystal cube in Inner Space. Bolo then aided Nightfall in her attempts to set history right through time travel, and later aided the Team Squad in their search for the Dimensional Keys, which could be used to free him. In "The Sixth Key", Bolo was freed from his prison, and sets off to Final Space to personally confront Invictus and the Titans. He aided the Team Squad in their mission to escape Final Space, acting as their most powerful ally until his brutal death at the hands of the Lord Commander following the latter becoming a Titan.

## History

### Pre-series

Bolo is one of the most ancient Titans, a race of cosmic beings created by god-like machines called the Arachnitects to help create the universe. Unfortunately, an evil entity named Invictus corrupted the Titans into rebelling against their creators, and plunge the universe into chaos. And Bolo was the only Titan who managed to resist Invictus’s corruptive influence, and then he sacrificed himself to help his creators imprison his siblings, and Invictus in the realm of Final Space.

In a final act of defiance and rebellion, Bolo used his powers to close the portal between Final Space and the mortal universe for good. Imprisoned by his fellow Titans for his rebellion, Bolo was sealed in a great giant cube in his own realm, the Inner Space. There he spends the next 10,000 years in a slumber, but even when he's asleep, he could still reach out with his mind to find mortals so he can warn about what horror opening Final Space will unleash upon the universe.

In a parallel timeline, in which the Titans escaped Final Space after Mooncake reopened the gate following the death of Gary Goodspeed, Bolo appeared to Quinn and then he instructed her to build a time machine to change the past. Adopting the name Nightfall, Quinn did as told.

### Season 1

In the main timeline, Bolo chooses Gary to be the one to save the universe. In Chapter 4, he caused Gary to relive some of his childhood moments. In Chapter 8, Nightfall brought the whole Team Squad to Inner Space to meet up with Bolo. Here, Bolo personally talked to Gary, and then he sent him back in time to meet with his dead dad, John Goodspeed, to learn from him how to close a breach into Final Space that was threatening the Earth.

### Season 2

In "The Toro Regatta", Bolo contacts the Team Squad after they acquire the Nymerian Cube. Bolo warms the Team Squad the war for his universe will soon begin, and that they must free him from his prison. Initially, Gary is reluctant, but agrees when he hears the journey will take them to Final Space, and allow him to free Quinn. Bolo tells the Team Squad to find the five Dimensional Keys that are hidden across the universe. The Titan doesn’t tell them exactly where they are, but tells Gary that they already have one, that being the Nymerian Cube, before vanishing.

In "Arachnitects", Bolo, still imprisoned, shrinks himself to the size of a bug to contact the Team Squad on the Crimson Light, following Mooncake being taken away from an unseen force. Bolo informs the team that Mooncake was taken by the Arachnitects, and tells them to access the Arachnitects' dimension with the Serepentis Dimension Key, before once again vanishing.

In "The Descent Into Darkness", Oreskis claims to Sheryl Goodspeed that Bolo is evil, and that he was imprisoned him because of that. When Sheryl informs Gary of this, it leaves the team confused as to whether Bolo can be trusted, although they remain determined to collect the final Dimension Key and find the truth out for themselves.

In "The Sixth Key", the Team Squad travel to Inner Space to free Bolo, although they first question him on his true intentions. Bolo tells them that Oreskis cannot be trusted, convincing the team to trust him again. Bolo then revealed that the Team Squad need a sixth key, that being the life of another being, in order to free him. Gary is not pleased that Bolo never told him that someone would have to be sacrificed in order to free him, but Bolo justifies his actions with the fact that Gary would not have come back had he known this sooner. Before the team can make a decision, Avocato, who is under the influence of Invictus, attacks the team. Eventually, Nightfall decides that she will be the sixth key that Bolo needs to escape, and sacrifices her life so that Bolo can be freed. Bolo finally breaks free, and escapes the collapsing Inner Space with the Team Squad. Bolo then summons the Arachnitects and convinces them to open the gateway to Final Space. Bolo enters Final Space, ready to exact revenge on Invictus and the Titans for imprisoning him.

### Season 3

In "...And Into The Fire", Bolo assists the Team Squad in escaping Quinn's prison by fighting off two Titans that Invictus had summoned, and hurling the Crimson Light out of Quinn's prison and onto Planet X. One month later, Bolo arrives to help the Team Squad when they are attacked by the Zombie Garys and the Lizard Titan. Bolo engages the Titan in a fight, but is knocked onto Planet X, destroying it with the Team Squad still inside. Soon, Mooncake joined the battle and together they killed the corrupted Titan. As Mooncake surveyed the destroyed Planet X, searching for Gary, Bolo lies to Mooncake, claiming that Gary perished in the destruction. Bolo then requested Mooncake's assistance in exacting revenge on the Titans, which Mooncake somberly agreed to.

In "The Hidden Light" Bolo and Mooncake travel to a red dwarf star, where the Titan tells Mooncake that they are going to need a weapon of immense power capable of killing Invictus and its army. With Mooncake’s help, Bolo forges the sword Titanslayer, and heads off to begin their Titan killing spree by killing Oreskis.

In "The Ventrexian", Bolo and Mooncake begin their revenge quest by heading to Oreskis’ fortress. There, Bolo confronts Oreskis for leaving him to rot in his prison, as well as for destroying his relationship with his first love, Jill. Bolo, Mooncake and Oreskis then engage in battle, with Oreskis combating Bolo with his own sword. During the intense fight, Oreskis manages to stab Bolo on his left arm, although Bolo is able to recover and kills Oreskis by decapitating him, allowing Mooncake to blast Oreskis into oblivion. Afterward, Gary and Quinn arrive, having tracked the massive amounts of energy from the battle using the Galaxy Two, and Mooncake tells Gary that Bolo had lied to him. When Gary confronts Bolo on this, the Titan tried to reason with Gary telling them they have the same goal to destroy Invictus, but Gary states that the goal for him and the team was to escapee Final Space. Bolo apologizes and says that his time in his cube has made him a little unhinged. Gary tells Bolo that they will spend a little time from each other, while Bolo continues to weaken Invictus' army. Shortly after Gary, Quinn, and Mooncake leave, Bolo discovers that the stab wound Oreskis had gave him is slowly poisoning him, and he does not have long until his mind is under Invictus' control.

In "The Chamber of Doubt", the Gatekeeper enlists the help of the Team Squad into freeing Bolo, who has been driven insane as a result of the poison. When the team arrive to Bolo, who is rampaging through an unknown planet, the Titan rips his own arm off and attempts to hit the team's ship with it. The Galaxy Two light folds into Bolo's mind, where they find that Bolo's mind is clouded in darkness and infested with numerous insane Bolos running around his head. When attempting to find the last spark of Bolo's sanity, the last park finds the team and informs them that Invictus is trying to manipulate Ash. When the Team Squad go to save Ash, Invictus tricks Ash into thinking that Gary killed Fox by puppeteering the latters' corpse and possessing Gary's arm to force him to stab Fox's corpse. Soon after, Invictus leaves Bolo's mind, which allows Bolo to take back control of his mind. In the aftermath of Fox's "death", Bolo attempts to tell Ash that Fox was already dead and that Invictus inhabited him, but Ash doesn't listen to Bolo and angrily demanded her brother's body. Bolo obliged and projected Fox's corpse out of his mind, allowing Ash to retrieve him.

In "Until the Sky Falls", Kevin Van Newton tasks Gary and Quinn to go to Wisconsin to activate the KVN NET. Although all hope seems lost as the two don't have a ship, a Dues Ex Machina arrives in the form of Bolo, who takes the two to Wisconsin so they can activate the KVN NET. When they arrive to the satellite, they are suddenly attacked by an army of Zombie Garys, as Invictus had launched a full-scale invasion of Earth. The possessed Garys attack Bolo, but he is able to fight them off and give Gary and Quinn time to activate the relay. Soon after, Bolo exits Earth with Gary and Quinn, delivering them back to the Galaxy Two as the KVN NET is activated. However, the net fails as Lord Commander was able to successfully merge with the Unborn Titan, destroying the Earth and the KVNs and accomplishing his goal of becoming a Titan.

In "The Dead Speak", Bolo yells for the Team Squad to escape while they still can as Lord Commander adjusts to his new Titan form. During this, Lord Commander shifts his hand into a sword and stabs Bolo through the abdomen as the Team Squad watched helplessly. In his dying breath, Bolo says goodbye to the Team Squad, as Lord Commander then brutally decapitates him and throws his head at the Galaxy Two, thus ending the legend of the Titan who saved the galaxy.

## Appearance

Bolo is a Titan with blue skin and a blonde mane on his shoulders and the back of his head. He has 6 arms with what seems to be like jewelry as well as strips of cloth around his hips and some of his limbs. He has 2 horns that protrude from the sides of his head. Bolo is always seen with a perpetual frown on his face, and he seems to be unable to move his face at all, even when laughing or in a good mood. Bolo's size is somewhat inconsistent; he is sometimes depicted as being roughly as tall as a mountain, while in others he is larger than planets or even stars. Though in "The Hidden Light", it is shown that Bolo is capable of shifting his size, as he makes himself large enough to hold a star in the palm of his hand.

Compared to the Crimson Light's size, Bolo was able to hold it in one hand as if it was a large bug, to give a comparison to the size of the Titan.

Bolo is able to pull people into his mind if he needs to talk with them. The inside of Bolo's mind consists of at least 795 brain chambers. Bolo's mind's guarded by a flaming, dark blue gatekeeper, who transported Gary and his friends through the various brain chambers of Bolo's mind when they came to visit him.

## Personality

Bolo is shown to be kind, quiet, and soft-spoken, wanting to help individuals in their most desperate of times often. Filling in the role of a mentor and a guide, Bolo assists some individuals like Gary and Nightfall whenever he could be in situations that they have no idea on how to solve, like how to close breaches. His kindness is shown when he helps Gary come to terms with his dad’s death by sending him to the past to the moment before John was fated to sacrifice himself.

Bolo is very stoic, shifting very little in terms of emotion while expressing the same stoic look on his face, even in tense situations. Despite this, he does lose his temper when he's rubbed the wrong way, going as far as to call Oreskis a “frickin' dickbag” and then giving out a huge rant about his dislike of Oreskis when he found out that Oreskis was telling vicious lies behind his back to Sheryl, Gary, and Nightfall involving claims that Bolo was evil and manipulating the Team Squad. Although Bolo isn't outright evil, he is capable of having a darker side to him, as he is shown to be very vengeful; it is implied that spending 10.000 years in a cube deeply embittered Bolo to the point where he swore to destroy Invictus and the poisoned Titans for their cruelty towards him. In "The Ventrexian", he goes out of his way to kill Oreskis for destroying his relationship with Jill. He is also not above lying to his own allies, as he lied to the Team Squad about there only being six Dimensional Keys inexistence, and when he dishonestly told Mooncake that Gary died during the destruction of Planet X in order to coerce Mooncake into joining his fight against the Titans and Invictus.

Bolo has a sense of humor, although he has a dry sense of it, occasionally making blunt jokes.
