Theo is one of the characters appearing in Celeste, and climbs the mountain alongside Madeline. He is an aspiring photographer who climbs Celeste Mountain primarily to take pictures that will boost his followers on InstaPix, and acts as support and companion to Madeline on her journey. He appears at various points in the story to speak to Madeline as well as assuming a more active role in the story from the end of chapter 4 to the beginning of chapter 6.

Appearance

Theo is a tall young American with orangish brown skin, brown eyes, and a brown beard and hair. Throughout the game, he wears a green checkered coat, dark blue pants, a yellow scarf and a brown backpack.

Personality

Theo is a happy-go lucky guy, with an obsession for social media. He loves taking pictures, and aims to have fun exploring Celeste Mountain. He is known for doing "goofy" things across all chapters, such as falling face-first off a small cliff to reunite with Madeline (in Chapter 4) and randomly taking mirror selfies in an ancient temple (in Chapter 5).

Biography

Pre-Mountain

Theo lived in California for a while before moving to Seattle, where he got a job he hated. The type of job is never specified. He eventually quits and moves again to Vancouver, Canada; hitchhiking there. He then decides to visit Celeste Mountain, due to his recently deceased grandfather (vovo) having travelled there.

Celeste

Theo met the Old Woman before the end of Chapter 2, and can be first seen in game in Chapter 1, where he talks to the timid Madeline about the Forsaken City. Later, near the end of Chapter 2 they have another conversation, and take a selfie together.

In Chapter 3, he enters the hotel before Madeline, and is freaked out by Mr. Oshiro. He makes his way through the hotel until he finds a shaft, which he crawls through to escape. He also has a couple of conversations with Madeline about Mr. Oshiro, trying to persuade her to escape with him, although Madeline declines.

In Chapter 4, he is unseen until the end, where he falls of a small cliff, although this doesn't seem to leave any noticeable injury, and then rides the Gondola with Madeline, taking a selfie just as it lurches, resulting in a terrible photo. The lurch (caused by Badeline) sends Madeline into a panic attack, where Theo successfully calms her down by telling her to float a feather with her breath. The Gondola resumes and Chapter 5 begins.

At the beginning of Chapter 5, Theo rushes into the temple, excited to explore and take photos, despite Madeline's protests. After taking a selfie in front of a mirror, he becomes stuck in it, and eventually winds up in a crystal, unable to move. Eventually Madeline comes around and carries him out of the temple.

At the beginning of Chapter 6, Theo has a long conversation with Madeline regarding their origin of their mountain climbs, why they decided to do it, and what personal struggles they are dealing with. He also tells her about his sister - Alex, who has a lot of similarities with the main protagonist. After that, they both take a selfie as a way to remember their conversation, and go to sleep. He later wakes up during Madeline's encounter with Part of Herself. After she falls, Theo decides to run down to the cavern in order to find her. He later appears at the end of the chapter.

He later appears during the Epilogue, waiting for Madeline at home with the rest of their friends. Madeline later bakes a pie for them, and his reaction depends on the amount of strawberries the player has collected.

After that Theo doesn't appear very much, apart from a small conversation with the Old Woman during Chapter 8, where Madeline tells that he's back at home to support his family. For the last time he's seen during the last cutscene in Chapter 9, where he appears in an internet call, asking if Madeline is feeling any better after her loss. He finds a photo of his grandpa and Granny, and decides to share it with her.
