| == Biography ==
| |
| [[Dondó]] is a macho, nihilistic, and womanizing character from [[Weezer’s]] Songs from the Black Hole. Along with his crewmate [[Wuan]], he acts as a foil to Captain Jonas, where [[Jonas]] is anxious and doubtful about the mission, [[Dondó]] brushes it off and tells him to relax and have fun. “Godamn, get your head out of your hands!” ([[Blast Off!]]) At the start of the story, he has a loose, teasing yet cruel connection with Jonas’s old fling ([[Maria]]), calling her Jonas’s “favorite bitch from the academy.” ([[Blast Off!]]) He’s also described in songs as being “having a big dick,” ([[You Won't Get with Me Tonight]]) which adds to his image as the cocky, hyper-masculine member of the crew.

| | |
| In Act II, [[Dondó]] has an affair with [[Maria]] ([[What Is This I Find?]]) right before [[Jonas]] returns to her, creating more tension among the shipmates. While his character wasn’t fully developed in the unfinished project, fans often see him as bold, confident, and self-serving, with a love for stirring up trouble. He was also written to represent the side of the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle that [[Rivers Cuomo]] disliked but sometimes saw in himself. Dondó’s actions push [[Jonas]] closer to an emotional breakdown and emphasize the story’s themes of betrayal and heartbreak.
