Tonto is the deurtagonist from 2013 film The Lone Ranger. A Commanche Indian, when he was a boy his village saved Butch Cavendish and Latham Cole, discovering there was silver near, the two men paid Tonto to show it to them, with a cheap pocket watch. However to cover the secret, the two greedy men masacared the entire village, leaving Tonto the only surviour. Tonto was driven mad by the stress and guilt, and was convinced the men were possessed by evil spirits living in the silver. He began a life long quest to kill them and avenge his family.

Several decades later he met up with John Reid, following John's brother dying at the Hands of Butch Cavendish. The two agreed to work together to take down Cavendish. Together they managed to track him down Cavendish, but first they were captured by the other Commance who told John the truth about Tonto.



Taking out Cavendish's gang and capturing Cavendish, Tonto tried to convince John to kill him there. But wanting him to be tried and dissilusioned by Tonto's stories, John refused. Tonto tried to kill him, but John knocked him outcold and took Cavandish back to the Law. Unfortunately said Law was Latham Cole, who was employing Cavendish, although John discovered the truth and tried to stop him, Latham managed to get the upper hand and had John sent to die.

Tonto saved him, but the other Commache then attacked, they were slaughtered by the US army. Realising Tonto had been right all along, John finally fully embraced being the Lone Ranger and together they formulated a plan to stop the pair. On the day of the unavaling of the new railroad, and the Day of Latham's hostile take over. Tonto stole the Train holding all the silver.

Latham and Butch chased them in another train. Meanwhile the Lone Ranger carried on after Butch. Following the confrontation Latham caught Tonto at gun point, and was about to kill him. But John managed to shoot the gun out of his hand. Taking it, Tonto accepted he was not a monster, just a greedy white man and threw back the watch in his face. Stepping off the train he left Latham and the silver to plunge off the bridge they blew up (with Latham's own explosives).

Later he and the Lone Ranger road off together, embracing the life and friendship.

Many decades later, now an old man, Tonto wound up in a wild west show, were seeing a boy dressed as his old friend, he related the story of how they met.
