Background
Throughout Saffron, Moka Only plays the role of Ron Contour, one of his alter egos, who was initially conceived in 2001 on Moka Only is... Ron Contour. Ron Contour's character is the cousin of Moka Only and is often described as "light hearted" and having a "humorous aura."[11] When asked on the character's purpose to Moka Only, he said: "Ron Contour was completely just for a laugh, not to be taken seriously."[12]
