About Marlo[]
Marlo Tanto is a journalist for Trantor HV News. Identifying himself as a correspondent for the planetary news service, Tanto approached Hari Seldon and Dors Venabili outside the Tisalver apartment in Dahl, seeking an interview for a story on their rumored knife-fight in Billibotton. His appearance, notably featuring a small, brown mustache that marked him as a non-Dahlite, and his insistence on sensationalizing the event immediately aroused Dors Venabili's suspicion. She publicly accused him of being an Imperial agent attempting to fabricate a news story to justify a police crackdown on the sector. This accusation turned the surrounding crowd hostile, forcing Tanto into a hasty retreat. While he presented himself as a journalist, his true affiliation remains officially unconfirmed.
