Tao

タオ

Tao is the last surviving descendant of the ancient Hiva civilization. He resides on the Galapagos Islands in a treehouse constructed by himself, his father, and his grandfather. His sole companion on the island is a parrot named Kukapetl.
As the intellectual of the group, Tao carries an encyclopedia containing the knowledge of the Heva people. He prefers to plan his actions in advance and dislikes Esteban's 'jump in and figure it out later' approach, yet he follows him regardless.
Tao has grown up with a legend passed down to him, stating that a girl with dark eyes (Zia) will guide him to the lands in the east.
Tao is also brave, though this trait is not always evident; to save the Mayan people, he destroys the Solaris (a massive ship built by the Heva people that powers itself using the sun) from the Spanish.
