João Barbosa Alves

João Barbosa Alves, also known as Torch, is a Techie in Cyberpunk RED.

Biography

João "Torch" Barbosa Alves is the owner of Torch's Total Repairs on the South end of 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.
