Background :
At first hot-headed and obnoxious, Piccolo was a misfit of society. He was brought onboard seaQuest through an inmate release program after volunteering to have working gills surgically attached to him. Because of this, he can breathe underwater without an oxygen tank, just like a fish.

Not one who deals well with authority, he turned his life around and became a member of the seaQuest team, though still retaining a lot of his attitude. Working down at engineering, he kept most of the electrical systems working. He liked to show off at card dealing, and could play the piano.

As well as having a strong Italian accent, he also had a large Italian family. He was raised primarily by one of his aunts, after being written off by his estranged father. His father begged him for help, though, when his mother, Marie Piccolo, became addicted to "fountain of youth" pills. These pills, called RU-268, were used for cosmetic reasons to halt the aging process. RU-268 was originally used as a pesticide, and was poison. Tony helped his father get rid of the pills, which were killing his mother.
