Toto

Toto, or Subject 1-01, is a 12-year-old boy kept in a secret building at the Evanston Air National Guard Base until being discovered in Plague. Toto has the ability to instantly determine if a statement someone makes is the truth or a lie.

Description
Toto is described as being tall, skinny, and lanky. He has spiky black hair that goes down to his waist, is extremely pale, and has eyes that are often glazed over. When Brianna meets him, she describes him as creepy and strange-looking.

After the poof he is left completely alone for seven months with very little to do which turns him clinically insane. He is now unable to stop telling the truth which becomes almost all he can ever say. He also becomes notably indifferent to most people and how they treat him. To cope with his insanity and isolation, he talks to Spidey - a Styrofoam head painted to look like Spider-Man. He continues talking to Spidey even after the original Spider-Man head he spoke to was destroyed by Sam Temple. Toto still has conversations with Spidey and asks him questions about himself.

Power and abilities
Toto is a human lie detector - having the ability to immediately discern truth from lie. Although his ability is impressive, it is not infallible. The extent of the truth is based on what the speaker "believes" to be true. (If the speaker says something they actually believe is true, Toto will vocalize that belief regardless of actual facts.) He also seems to be able to tell, to some degree, what the speaker really means if they intentionally speak ambiguously.

Appearances

 * Before the FAYZ

Toto was torn away from his family and friends to go to a secret air base, where he was experimented on and given the name Subject 1-01. He was treated well overall by the personnel at the base. He formed a friendship with the other test subject, Darla (a.k.a. "Subject 1-02"). When she tried to escape and died in the process, Toto was greatly angered and saddened.

During the events of Gone, Hunger and Lies, Toto found himself alone. He quickly ran out of food and was forced to live on Nutella he had found in a derailed train shipping container. With no one to talk to and nothing to do except read, he went clinically insane and started talking to a Styrofoam Spider-Man head he had named "Spidey".
 * Gone, Hunger and Lies


 * Plague

Toto is found by Sam, Jack, and Dekka at the Evanston Air National Guard Base during their survey for drinking water. Toto was found is dressed in his Spiderman suit and was sitting in the corner on a stack of Nutella jars. He ran into his giant Spiderman doll compartment and told Sam, Jack, and Dekka about what he knew about the FAYZ. He confirmed he was a part of a government study where they would perform studies on him and subject 1-02. He was the only one to survive and the government abandoned the study shortly before the FAYZ began.

During the confrontation between Drake and Sam, Jack, Dekka, and himself at Lake Tramonto, he reveals that Drake is lying about Astrid and Perdido Beach to try to provoke Sam and Dekka to get them to fight.

While delivering their speeches at the end of the book, both Caine and Sam become agitated when Toto practically involuntarily calls out the truth or lie (or deceptions) in each of their major statements. Toto ultimately decides to join Sam's group and travels to Lake Tramonto.


 * Fear

In Fear, Toto is used as the truth teller for the council. He often annoys Sam and Dekka.

In Light, Toto travels with Sam and Edilio trying to convince Caine to go with Sam to kill Gaia and subsequently rescue Diana. No more is said about Toto after this and his fate is ultimately unknown.
