Sal Manella is a director at Global Studios best known for directing the TV show The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo and creating its sequel, The Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo. Manella found success at Global Studios with the massive popularity of the action show The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo, with himself as the director, Dee Vasquez as the producer, Will Powers in the titular role, and action show veteran Jack Hammer as the Steel Samurai's nemesis, the Evil Magistrate. The show spawned a loyal following and plenty of merchandise, including trading cards, balls and "Samurai Dogs". A Steel Samurai-themed amusement park was even opened. Manella has a penchant for speaking in L33T and reciting internet memes. He has been seen referencing Yakov Smirnoff's "Russian reversal" jokes, as well as the "It's Over 9000!" meme. Once under pressure, however, he speaks normally. He sweats a lot and comes off as a little creepy due to his "nerdy" personality, which is perhaps typified by his habit of drooling when meeting attractive members of the opposite sex. He also has a great liking of food, salivating as much at the mention of food as at the sight of a pretty girl. Manella was submissive to Vasquez, who treated him like dirt, although Wendy Oldbag thought that he actually liked being treated that way.
