Reynaldo is the role played by Coach Z in Strong Bad's Dangeresque films. Dangeresque works alone, except when he works with Renaldo, which is all the time.
Costume and Insignia
Reynaldo wears a turban with an improperly aligned "Star & Crescent" insignia; the symbol in question is identified most strongly with the Ottoman Empire or represents the symbol of Islam. Depending on Reynaldo's heritage, Coach Z is either wearing the pin sideways, or entirely upside-down. Atop the turban, Reynaldo wears a Fez, perhaps indicating a superlative layer of cultural identification with Morocco. Of course, the name "Reynaldo" 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 Upper Midwestern accent. At present, both Reynaldo's origins and his future plans are shrouded in mystery; but perhaps future sequels (or prequels) in the Dangeresque film franchise will allow us to know more about this fascinating, freelance law-enforcement officer, and his family's unique immigrant experience.
On the DVD commentary for stunt double, Matt and Mike point out that Reynaldo's symbol is also the insignia for the New Orleans Police Department.
