Jacuzzi Splot

Jacuzzi Splot was the leader of a gang of bootleggers in Chicago during the thirties, and was one of the most significant characters in the manga and anime Baccano.

appearance
Jacuzzi is a relatively short teenage boy with short ragged brown hair, brown eyes and a curved sword tattooed on the left side of his face. He usually wears the exact same attire, with a white shirt, an orange, checkered vest and dark green pants.

Personality
Jacuzzi managed to found and control his own gang thanks to his intelligence and cautious nature. However, he is also by far the most cowardly, paranoid and superstitious member of the group, often crying or hiding at the slightest sign of danger. And unlike his fellow gang-members, he has no blood-thirst whatsoever. Even When a rival gangster threatened to kill him, he begged his friends to spare the would-be murderers life.

Nonetheless, the people who knows him respects him for being a good friend. Jacuzzis love for his friends and caring towards other people often inspires him to commit acts of great endurance and courage, and almost to become a completely different person. He claims himself that he tries to cry as often as he can, so that when he needs to fight, all his tears will have dried up.

He also has a relationship with his fellow gang-member, the destructive and dangerous Nice Holystone. But due to his timid nature, it took years before he even gathered enough courage to kiss her.

Powers and abilities
When he has the proper motivation, Jacuzzi is a quick, efficient and dangerous force to be reckoned with. When the Russo-family killed a number of his friends, he robbed eighteen of their speakeasies on his own in one day. He was also managed to hold his own in a fight against Goose Perkins, a man much older and larger than himself.

While robbing the Russo-family, he was also seen using firearms.
