Molo is a fictional character in the vehicle action series Vigilante 8.

Overview

Molo had always been a trouble maker and looked to Coyote leader Sid Burn as some kind of hero. It was his biggest wish to join the Coyotes and cause extreme havoc. One day, he was taking the bus to school, and while the bus driver left for a bathroom break, Molo stole the bus and set out to find his hero. He catches up with him in the middle of the Coyote/Vigilante skirmish, but Sid refuses to recruit him. Undaunted, Molo sets out to prove himself and focuses his sights on Sheila. However, he was unsuccessful in subduing her.

After the Coyotes were defeated and disbanded, Molo found himself alone again. Unwilling to accept Burn's disappearance, Molo searched the world over for the former Coyote leader until he stumbled upon his abandoned Manta. He knew then that Burn's disappearance was not voluntary. Without the Coyotes, he was a nobody and resorted to burglarizing gas stations and trailer parks. He was eventually caught, but could not go to jail due to his age, so he was sent to juvenile hall instead. His time there was short lived as a mysterious old man busted him out and initiated him into the new band of Coyotes.

Endings

Molo being arrested by Sheila in his Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense ending.

In his V8 ending, Molo is finally initiated into the Coyotes, but his first assignment isn't what he had hoped for, as he washes Sid Burn's car for his first assignment.

In his V8: 2nd Offense ending, Molo is outrunning what looks like Chassey Blue's Vertigo. He tries to Smog Check it, but the pipe is clogged by a roller skate and explodes. He is then arrested; but much to his dismay and his dignity, realizes it is not Chassey Blue, but Sheila arresting him.

In his V8: Arcade ending, Molo steals John Torque's vehicle and seeks out Sid Burn. After finding him, Molo starts the ignition to (presumably) apprehend Sid Burn.
