Ringo was a single prisoner among the hundreds kept in captivity in the Colosseum whom the Tenth Doctor met when he was arrested for "borrowing" a horse in 120. His true name was never actually known. Ringo was just a nickname the Doctor thought up when he named the only four prisoners who would talk to him. The Doctor thought Ringo was skinny.
Ringo concluded that the Doctor must be foreign or "completely barmy", and the others agreed he must be foreign. Besides that, he never really said much. He was jailed for selling fraudulent Greek art despite worshipping Roman gods.
He was one of the survivors of the daring escape from the arena. (PROSE: The Stone Rose)
