History Characters / Talespin

* VillainTeamUp: While he and Don Karnage are usually enemies, Shere Khan did hire him to cause an oil shortage just so he could jack up gas prices.

* BadassBaritone: Thanks to Chuck McCann.

* BadassBaritone: Comes with being played by Creator/TonyJay. Khan is a competent and intimidating character with a unflappingly deep, relaxing voice, but too much of a AntiVillain to (usually) count for EvilSoundsDeep.

Spanish-accented captain of the Air Pirates, intent on getting past Cape Suzette's security and plundering the town. A somewhat clownish villain who usually serves as the show's main antagonist.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Not too many red wolves in WesternAnimation media.

* OffModel: In "Captains Outrageous," he has a tail. In "Bullethead Baloo," he doesn't. [[FridgeHorror What happened]] to his tail between episodes?

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Gets hit with it as bad as Baloo at times. Borders onto IronButtMonkey territory in "The Bigger They Come, The Louder They Oink" when training a truffle tracking pig.

* [[PapaWolf Papa Bear]]: To Kit, and Molly to a lesser extent.

* WidowWoman: She's a single parent whose husband is never mentioned in the cartoon, suggesting this trope. [[spoiler: This was confirmed in the short lived comic book series.]]

* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]: She seduced Baloo with flattery and the promise of stardom in order to eventually [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident have him killed in a plane crash]] that would bring her even more publicity.

%%* ShesGotLegs

* AntiVillain: His villainous roles in the show are outweighed by the times he assists Baloo. Khan himself says he desires only money and power, not [[EvilVersusOblivion the end of the world]] or [[ForTheEvulz the heck of it]].

-> '''Dubbed in Latin American Spanish by''': Ruben Moya

* OneNameOnly: Her last name is never revealed in the episode, or in the [[AllThereInTheScript script]] which simply calls her "Mira the Archaeologist." Some sources give her surname as "Foxworthy", but this was never official; the name was given to her by fan and future troper Tropers/MarkLungo, and {{Fanon}} has taken it and run with it.

%%* {{Nice Hat}}

* NiceHat: He wears a blue and red baseball cap worn backwards.

* NiceHat: He's rarely seen without it. But when he is, he turns out to be bald.

* NiceHat: He always wears his flight helmet.

* NiceHat: It's a top hat with with a feather in it.

* NiceHat: A large purple miter as part of his station.

* NiceHat: He wears an oversized fedora that would make WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck jealous.

* NiceHat: Either wears a cooking pot or a funnel on his head.

* NeverMyFault: Granted, his goons' lack of intelligence causes most of his headaches, but Moe is not blameless. Some of his problems and failures are self-induced. During a layover, Moe leaves a valuable shipment in the hands of his goons... while he goes off to lunch instead of immediately moving on. He also doesn't immediately dispatch our heroes and instead decides to go to sleep and take care of them at dawn... while under guard by his goons. He even lampshades that he needs to replace them but never follows through.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Baloo at times can be rather obnoxious and selfish, and will do anything to shy from work, but he cares deeply about his friends and family. Do ''not'' hurt them.

* FakeDefector: During the pilot, he seemingly betrays his friends and rejoins the Air Pirates, giving them enough time to escape. He later rejoins them while helping to foil the pirates' plans. PlayedForDrama because Baloo really believes Kit has gone bad, which hurts them both until they finally reconcile.

* InnocentProdigy: Kit is often rather intelligent, and sometimes shown to have more common sense than his peers. However, his occasional childlike naivete or rambunctiousness shows at times.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A pretentious hot head who frequently clashes with Baloo, and can be ''very'' abrasive with him. That's said, it's clear that she really does care for him deep down. She's also a [[MamaBear loving mother to go with it.]]
* LovableAlphaBitch: Something of a grown up variant. Rebecca is extremely snobbish and self important at times, and often looks down on those lower on the chain than her, but is a loving mother and ultimately devoted to her employees. Not to mention her huge showings of humility whenever she realises she's taken things too far.

Eccentric mechanic for Higher For Hire. Spacey and not too bright, but kind-hearted and extremely competent at his job.

* AffablyEvil: He's a ruthless thief, but he's generally shown to be a fun guy to be around with his crew, and while Baloo does keep thwarting his plans, he's shown he won't kill him unless he's getting in his way.

* EvilIsHammy: He does not have any kind of restraint with his theatrics.

* AffablyEvil: While not the nicest person in the world, it's debatable whether he's evil or not. In any case, he's still genuinely polite, and a courteous businessman.

* BadassBaritone: Comes with being played by Creator/TonyJay. Khan is a competent and intimidating character with a unflappingly deep, calm voice, but too much of a AntiVillain to (usually) count for EvilSoundsDeep.

* CatsAreMean: DownplayedTrope. While usually a villainous character, he's hardly the worst of them.

* ConsummateLiar: He can fool almost anybody, even people who don't trust him.

** Not usually, but in "On a Wing and a Bear", he creates a fake oil shortage with Don Karnage in order to overprice the fuel.

* {{Hypocrite}}: He hates being lied to or deceived, but occasionally does the same to his rivals or associates.

The large and ruthless ruler of Thembria. Everyone in that nation fears him, and people who displease him often get shot (off-screen of course). Ironically, he can actually appear to be more easy-going at times than his underling Spigot. The keyword being ''appear'', because the fact that Spigot and everyone else is continuously afraid of him let's you know he's one seriously bad dude. Unlike Spigot and Dunder, he speaks in a Russian accent the way most of his countrymen do.

* HairTriggerTemper: Moe typically spends his episodes in a perpetual state of "pissed off," devolving into {{Angrish}} frequently.

* AdultFear: Like all parents, Becky will drop everything if Molly is in danger. She'll also scold and/or attack anyone, including Baloo and Kit, if they put her in said danger.

* NiceHat: He's rarely seen without it. But when he is, he turns out to be BaldOfAwesome.

* {{Meganekko}}: She wears glasses and is a likable, kind-hearted character.

* NerdsAreSexy: She's smart, she's kind, she's a {{Meganekko}}, and she's appeared in plenty of Rule34 art.

* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She's a brainy archaeologist and a {{Meganekko}}.
