maria is the daughter of senator mendoza and is a good friend of Matt who later fall in love with him. Also, she does not shy away from Matt even though he is a clone. This shows that she is not easily affected by those around her and is very stubborn. Maria tends to look at what is inside people and not what it looks like on the outside. That is why she can forgive Matt for making her kiss him and for killing Furball.
Matt is a young boy (ages 6 through 14 in the book) and is the main character in the house of the scorpion. he is a clone of el patron, a powerful drug lord, and el patron plans to harvest his organs, though it doesn't work out. Matt loves maria, the daughter of a US senator.

Tam Lin would be a wonderful round character! He starts out as a loyal guard for El Patron until he meets Matt. Matt chooses him as his own body guard for his qualities like the small glint of friendliness in his eyes and his compassion. Tam Lin soon relies that the way El Patron was ruling was wrong and tries his hardest to teach Matt not to grow up like that. Near the end, his act of compassion shows greatly when he sets up an escape route for Matt and saves Celia from being turned into an Eejit.

Celia is Matt's caretaker. She refuses to be called his mother however, because in her eyes, Matt was only "loaned" to her. She abseloutely loves him though. Celia is probably Matt's closest friend, and has always been there for him, unless seperated. Celia also works for El Patron, cooking in his kitchens and was hired to take care of Matt.
