Physical Description
Carlos is a hybrid of kinkajou and a heretofore unknown number of large-clawed species. His fur is mostly a golden yellow, with a lighter shade on his face and down his front and two slash-shaped marking that streak upward from the bottom corner of his cheeks. The most remarkable features that he has are his huge hands (and feet) with long, sharp claws; these have dark brown fur towards the extremities. Usually Carlos wears a bright ensemble: an olive shirt, light brown slacks, and a large khaki poncho with a row of green diamonds along the front. He also wears decorative batwing chaps with little leather streamers. At first he also appears to be wearing heavy-looking spats, but these are really boots with the front part removed to accommodate his large clawed feet. His eyes are green-gray, and his hair is usually a little messy but lightly combed. Very often he wears a large sombrero to keep out the sun.

Mental Description
Carlos is a loud, boisterous and cheerful fellow who has a habit of getting himself into trouble through his brash manner of speaking. Nevertheless he is very friendly, and will willingly associate with anyone who can endure his forthright, beaming personality, from dour old codgers to prostitutes in the alleyways and even the occasional beggar or two. He is apt to discuss relatively mundane occurrences with notable excitement, or brag about his shooting abilities (which are indeed very considerable, but some doubt). However, on certain occasions, when confronted with a particularly sensitive situation, he becomes uncharacteristically pensive and contemplative as his sense of justice and honesty come to fore. Above all he values companionship with true friends and is willing to endure much to ensure that these bonds are strengthened. He very much despises violence and criminality, but given the world he lives in he's learned how to carefully negotiate.

History
Carlos has lived in Black Lake all of his life in a generally happy, balanced household. Jorge Salvagado, Carlos' father, was one of Black Lake's very first law enforcement officials. As one of the Sheriff's top hands, he was critical in preserving the fragile order against the criminal lords who dwelt in Scorch and other such places. Tragedy struck, however, when Jorge was set up and captured by one of those bosses, who had him executed in sight of the young Carlos. Aroused by sadness, anger, and his own strong sense of right and wrong, the young hybrid vowed to follow in his father's footsteps, but carefully, secretly; he didn't want to attract attention to himself given what happened to Jorge. His discretion led to his enrollment as a Special Deputy, an undercover officer tasked with digging out information on criminal networks for curtailment and destruction by the regular Deputies. Often he is criticized by others for his youthfulness, his brash personality, or his tendency to blank out when truly stressed, but Carlos will have none of it. The fire of youth drives him onward to serve and protect the only home he's ever known. It's tough work, and greatly strenuous, but Carlos, as far as he knows, is more than willing to see it through.

Possessions
Two Eaglegrave .45 calibre revolvers, with modifications to the trigger guard to allow his claws to slip in.
