Dr. Diego "Doc" Soto is an Alcatraz expert and comic book enthusiast.

Biography

Soto first visited Alcatraz Prison when he was five years old and he hasn't stopped thinking about it since. In addition to being the world's foremost expert on the island, he has doctorates in both Criminal Justice and Civil War History. ("Pilot") He got the degrees to appease his parents, but he got blacklisted for publishing a major breakthrough in crime prevention theory for The National Journal of Criminology, as his urban statistical model's based on Gotham City (Batman). Thus, Soto ended up with a comic book store. At age eleven, Soto suffered a traumatic incident he does not yet want to discuss with Rebecca Madsen, nor with any one else he knows. However, Hauser does know about the event. In his last conversation with Dylan Callahan, Soto implies that this event in his life involved an adult who abducted or otherwise controlled him, but Soto escaped from him. ("Kit Nelson") It is later implied that he escaped with a car; while Hauser and Soto were chasing Cal Sweeney, Hauser remarks on Soto's poor driving skills, to which Soto replies that the last time he drove was when he was eleven. The two become silent after this statement.
