Bo, whose full name is Boniface Hartlieb, is one of the main characters in The Thief Lord. He is a five-year-old orphan living with his wealthy aunt and uncle. Bo is described as having curly blond hair (which he later dyes black), green eyes, and an angelic face. His aunt and uncle want to adopt him after his mother’s death, since he is young and looks angelic. However, they do not want to adopt his brother, Prosper, and plan to send him off to boarding school. The two boys want to stay together, so they run away to Venice and meet a gang of orphan children living in an abandoned movie theater. Under the leadership of Scipio Massimo, a thirteen-year-old known as the thief lord, the children steal items to resell in order to survive. Bo looks up to Scipio and wants to be just like him.
