He later became better known for his act of rebellion, along with the Spanish and Portuguese nomads, against the corporations that controlled that country during the mid 2070s. Even making it onto the list of the most wanted terrorists by the EEC and Interpol which forced him to flee halfway around the world, settling in Night City until the end of his days.

## Code of Honor

Due to his time growing up in a Yogang, he ended up developing a sort of Code of Honor, similar to that of a Street Samurai.

* *First the target, then the allies, and finally you.*
* *Adapting to the environment in order to survive.*
* *Loyalty to your allies.*
* *Use revenge to your advantage, but do not overdo it.*
* *Honor, yes, but not extreme rigidity with this one.*
* *Keep your word.*
* *No hiding. You have to be heroic, strong and intelligent.*

## Drink

In many bars, especially in those in neighborhoods formed by Portuguese refugees a drink, said to have been the Rockerboy's favorite, is often served, named after him.

The drink contains the following ingredients :

* *60 ml of Coke*
* *2 shots of rum*
* *1 lime ( squeezed and for decoration )*
* *1 shot of dark beer*

The way to prepare it is as follows :

* *Coke goes first*
* *Then the dark beer*
* *Then the rum*
* *And finally the lime*

## Personality

Even during his most commercial stage, he was a controversial, politically incorrect, sincere and brutally tough, honest, intuitive, loyal, observant, reserved, honorable, quarrelsome, insistent and romantic, as well as astute. Unlike other rockerboys, he didn't do what he did for a greater ideal, but for revenge.

Occasionally, he got to use his sensitive side to get what he wanted and he could be considered, in his own way, like Jhonny Silverhand, a well-intentioned extremist. On a religious level, he was a deist in his own way and partially believed in Destiny. He was always someone, fed up with politics and much of his music reflected his discontent with the political square and not feeling represented by either side.

Unlike other rockerboys or cyberpunks, with the aesthetics, he did not seek to give a transgressive look to society, but simply a different look. In addition to having sometimes used the aesthetics, not to transgress, but to parody or mock.

In the public eye, he was stoic and relatively quiet, not unpleasant, but not approachable either. He was funny and charismatic, but at heart serious. Importantly, he neither forgot nor forgave. Like the trope, he was a warrior poet. He was "emotionally tongue-tied". Occasionally, though, he was a character with his head in the clouds. He could be someone very cheerful and strangely oblivious to things others took for granted. Sometimes he could even argue with himself for fun, make points in an argument with no basis in logic or reality, or tell rambling stories that had nothing to do with the point he was trying to make. He would sometimes go so far as to make double entendres, totally unintentional and was someone great at getting shit past the radar.

Like so many other rockerboys, he was an *"ultimate romantic"*. Being so, one could say, he was in love with a *"shadow"*.

## Aesthetics

Having been an artist with such a long career, during several periods, he had different aesthetics in the public eye. The most notable was his mixture of formal elements with "punk" elements and his time with a post - vaporwave aesthetic. In addition to the classic Rockerboy aesthetics.

## Discography

## Lyrics

On a philosophical level, his lyrics were influenced by ideologies such as anarcho-nihilism, malism, rockerboy philosophy, punk philosophy *(although he rejected all previous punk tendencies and concepts such as "no profit" and "anti-copyright")*, apoliticism and anti-realism, ironically taken to real life *(anti-realism is defined as an ideology that believes that any ideology that fits on a political square is bad)*.
