Inos is a (presumably) human inhabitant of Cwcville introduced in Sonichu 10. Possibly in a response to demands from fans for a more diverse lineup, Chris chose to depict this particular token character as a homeless, intoxicated, diseased, drug-pushing, expectorating scruff with filthy dreadlocks styled like a Sonichu's ears.
Talking to Sonichu with a vaguely Jamaican accent, he uses dottled word-play to explain that he is a 78-year-old "Jamaican Veteran" and professional bum who has suffered from a cold for five years. Chris stops short of having him sing Buffalo Soldier and join a bobsled team.
After kindly recoiling with disgust and lecturing the half-dead Inos on his drug use, Sonichu has him arrested, cautioned and admitted against his will into one of Cwcville's soup kitchens. His wares are also appropriated and sent to the tobacky rocket.
While Chris spends several pages showing off what a waste of life this particular black person is, when called out on his lack of minorities in the comic during Mailbag 50, he mentions Constable Louis Perez, the black officer who was called in to arrest Inos. He showed up for exactly one panel, the longest Chris has ever shown a minority in a positive light.
Chris has revealed in a video that Inos is actually based on troll creation made to mess with Chris with international copyright law. The creation is known as Soni-chew, the eclectic heeedge. Hog. Poke! Mon of London England, or at the least, that's what Chris calls it. At this point it's not clear how much of the character's appearance is based on the "original" character, and how much is just his own rampant racism.
