Toledo the Shapeshifter

Personality
Toledo nearly always maintains a calm demeanour, rarely raising his voice and hissing out his words whenever he expresses anger. A flamboyant man with a strong affinity to the colour white and a liking of Spanish culture, he enjoys living the high life, residing in a private suite built within the Balmoral Hotel's clock tower. He frequently tries to convince Marnie into helping him find the Book of Forbidden Knowledge, though she on more than one occasion refers to him as a 'creep'.

The Shapeshifter is driven by his hatred of his creator, Michael Scot, as well as his desire to prove his superiority over the great wizard. Throughout the majority of the first series, Michael proves himself to be the stronger of the two, driving back Toledo with little effort on his part. Without the book however, Michael's power slowly weakens, and Toledo manages to overpower him in a duel at the end of the first series. By the second series, the dying Michael is powerless to stop Toledo from draining him of his magic, ultimately leading to the wizard's death. Toledo is capable of showing compassion to others however, as shown with his relationship with Michael's son, Wolfgang, who he affectionately referred to as his 'little wolfy'. Both shared the same motivation in destroying Michael, and had both felt that the wizard had wronged them. He also seemed to possess a fondness for McTaggart, who served as his valet, though he was angered upon learning that McTaggart was Michael's double agent and had been spying on him. Though he ended up killing McTaggart during the second series, he seemed to express some pity towards the man.
