Don Lino

"You're fired! And on top of that, you're gonna have to start payin' me!"

- Lino to Sykes

Don Lino is the main antagonist, later supporting character of Shark Tale. He is the Great White sharks, Sykes, Lola, and Luca's leader and boss and Lenny and Frankie's father.

Lino wants Lenny and Frankie (whom he treats like his henchmen) to take over the business and run it together, and is infuriated when Oscar gets in the way. In the end, he redeemed himself, after Oscar confesses that he is not a "Sharkslayer" and that it was an anchor that had killed Frankie. He then strongly urges Don Lino not to prejudge people before he knows them properly and to not make the mistake he made in prejudging his wealth, so Don Lino and Lenny reconcile.

Personality
Lino was vicious and aggressive and unlike his merciful and compassionate son, Lenny, he had no qualms about killing. He was vengeful and tried to get revenge on Oscar for killing Frankie. But when Oscar revealed that Frankie's death had been an accident, Lino became friends with him and promised that neither he nor his sharks would attack the reef again.

Though he was a fierce and short-tempered shark, Lino did show a softer and more caring side and he was devastated by Frankie's death. Though he was fed up with Lenny's refusal to kill anything, Lino loved Lenny very much and by the end of the film, he had grown to accept Lenny for who he was.

Appearance
Lino is a muscular and very strong great white with a mole on his right cheek, just like his voice actor Robert DeNiro. Lino has light blue eyes.
