- "I don't remember. I can't recall every time I've done something like that. So I'm finished....Lila....I wanted to see your face one more time....Do you know you look just like my mother?"
- ―Don Dolnero's final words before his death[src]
Don Dolnero (ドン・ドルネロ Don Dorunero, 1-47), was a crime lord, the leader of Londerz Family and the initial main antagonist of Mirai Sentai Timeranger.
History[]
A blue whale-like alien mafioso godfather who is only in it for the money, though he also comes with a firm love for the family. Original leader of the mafia group, the Dolnero Family (ドルネロズファミリ Dorunero Famirī). He was to be put under imprisonment for 1,000 years, as Prisoner #35273, until his gang (Lila and Gien) took over the prison and managed to go back in time to pull off numerous crimes. Resembles an overweight middle-aged mafioso in human form. With Borg's help, he took over a company to make even more money, setting up a "protection business". He cares for his associates, especially Gien, whose mental stability often concerns him.
When Gien released Hell's Gate Prisoner Emboss, Dolnero provided his blood to the Timerangers so the City Guardians could make the vaccine before he shut down Gien with a special attachment to stop him from going too far in his psychotic delights. Once the attachment was removed and destroyed, Dolnero evacuated the Londers Prison before going out to kill Gien, who was a totally insane robot by that time. Dolnero was unable to carry out the deed, only to be killed himself. In his final moments, he gave the Timerangers the remaining Londers Prisoners he had in the Londers Prison.
Personality[]
Dolnero was a criminal mastermind and a ruthless mob boss, but he was friendly and jovial to his allies and emphasized the "family" aspect of his organization. He saved Gien's life after the latter helped him hide from his enemies and genuinely cares for Lila and the criminals he inducts into his family. He regretted turning Gien into a robot, lamenting that his attempts to save the boy who had previously saved his life caused him to turn into a monster. Dolnero deeply loved his family to the point that he asks the Timerangers to take his remaining criminals back to the 30th century in his dying moments.
He does not remember any specific assassinations he has ordered, due to making so many of them they are a common daily activity to him.
Dolnero loves cigars and is constantly seen enjoying one.
