Physical Appearance
Argo is a tall Brazilian young man with black hair in dreadlocks with a large red headband. On his torso, he wears a red tank top underneath a thick blue vest. On his arms, he wears forearm bands and brown gloves. His lower body gear consists of green shorts tightened with a black belt and brown shoes on his feet.
In Shogun Steel, he trimmed his hair to wear pulled back in dreadlocks with a single strand in the front. He now dressed a violet-colored, pop-collared shirt, which he wears under a white, thin-striped business suit top. He also wears white pants with white shoes. He also wears a little gold pendant.
Personality
Argo is a an extremely selfish, power-hungry coward who only cares about winning by any means needed. Due to hardship of growing up on the streets, he has grown to become a misanthropist and only saw Beyblade as nothing more than a tool to get what he wants. Argo is not above injuring his opponents or playing dirty in any shape or form, especially using others to do his dirty work. This rubbed off on his siblings, everyone wanting to cheat to win. Argo is also highly arrogant with a major superiority complex and a vindictive nature towards those who wronged him the slightest, especially Tsubasa just for beating him.
Beyblade: Metal Masters
Argo and his family first appeared watching Team GanGan Galaxy beat Team Excalibur being interested in their strength. He was next seen with the rest of Team Garcia when they ambushed Yu Tendo to damage his Libra. This gave them an advantage during the championship battle to easily eliminate Yu from the first match, which did not help the Garcias defeat the Japanese team because Tsubasa defeated Argo in the last match. Argo and his siblings later appeared alongside Hades Inc and tried to stop Gingka's gang from reaching Hades City. He was almost able to attack Gingka, but was stopped and defeated by Tsubasa and Yu.
Beyblade: Metal Fury
He and his siblings participated in Destroyer Dome, playing dirty from the start. They made everyone believe that Argo and Ian were kicking Selene and Enzo out of the family in order to weaken the vigilance of their opponents. In any case, although Zeo and Toby believed it, it was not their advantage and they were eliminated from the tournament.
Beyblade: Shogun Steel
He appeared alongside his family when they revealed that he sent Kira Hayama and Yoshio Iwayama. He also told them that he is the leader of the DNA but was later overthrown by Doji. Argo and the rest of his siblings decided to retreat and abandon the Dark Nebula headquarters and promises they will be back but was never seen again at the end of the series.
