Timoteo is the Ninth and current Boss of the Vongola Famiglia at the beginning of the series. He is 70 years old, and it is implied that he is becoming too weak to lead the Famiglia, which is why he searches for his successor. It is revealed that he has been plagued with problems concerning his legs, thereby limiting his mobility. Like Tsuna and Giotto, Timoteo also knows how to use the Zero Point Breakthrough, using it to stop Xanxus's rebellion during the Cradle incident. Timoteo's stamp is the Dying Will Flame; he marks documents with his Sky Flame, proving that they are official.
