'''João Barbosa Alves''', also known as '''Torch''', is a [[Techie]] in {{CP|RED}}.

==Biography==
João "Torch" Barbosa Alves is the owner of [[Torch's Total Repairs]] on the South end of [[Upper Marina (RED)|Upper Marina]]. A believer in the maxim “if you can’t fix it, you don’t really own it”, Torch got his handle from regularly wielding a blowtorch and soldering iron to cut things open and patch things up. He is also known for a fact that he has a working flamethrower in his shop. 

Since most of Torch’s repair jobs skirt the bounds of legality, he does the work without asking a lot of questions. But he charges extra for work that is clearly illegal.<ref name="DGD">{{RefCP|REDDGD|52}}</ref>
