Deter Latoni was a Brazilian, and the leader of a friendly Amazonian tribe who had rescued George Cranleigh from the Kojabe tribe, who held the black orchid sacred, and tortured and mutilated George for attempting to steal the flower.

Biography

As a friend of the family, Latoni stayed on as George's guardian and Lady Cranleigh's informant on what George needed or wanted.

On 11 June 1925, he was violently attacked when George's insanity drove him to wanting to escape and elope with Ann, and left for dead. (TV: Black Orchid)
