Renaldo is the role played by Coach Z in Strong Bad's Dangeresque films. Although Dangeresque might work alone, he works with Renaldo all the time.
Costume and Insignia
Renaldo wears a turban with an improperly-aligned "Star & Crescent" insignia; the symbol in question is identified most strongly with the Ottoman Empire. Depending on Renaldo's heritage, Coach Z is either wearing the pin sideways, or entirely upside-down. Atop the turban, Renaldo wears a Fez, perhaps indicating a superlative layer of cultural identification with Morocco. Of course, the name "Renaldo" is hispanic (being the Spanish form of Reynold), giving us a further insight into the confused cultural identity of this complex character, who is, of course, played with Coach Z's usual flair for the New-Jersey-Dutch accent. At present, both Renaldo's origins and his future plans are shrouded in mystery; but perhaps future sequels (or prequels) in the Dangeresque film francise will allow us to know more about this fascinating, freelance law-enforcement officer, and his family's unique immigrant experience.
