Manuel "Manny" Calavera is the player character in the adventure video game Grim Fandango.

Modus operandi

Like most adventure-game protagonists, several of Manny's Tricks involve finding creative uses for seemingly-innocuous objects. Most significant among those is his scythe, which is rarely used to actually cut things, and instead finds practical uses ranging from hook to metal-detector detector.

Once having been the top salesman in the Department of Death, Manny can also use his personal magnetism and persuasion skills to get people to do what he wants. He is also not above using bribes, threats or blackmail when he has the means. Combined with his extreme competitiveness, his talents allow Manny to repeatedly climb his way up in every job he takes.
