The main protagonist. Slylock is a quick-thinking detective who can unravel any mystery in a moment. He is known and respected among the locals and the police, who call him in on tougher cases.

!!Count Weirdly
[[quoteright:106:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charweirdly_6384.png]]

Slylock's archnemesis is a green-skinned mad scientist, whose evil schemes are outright surreal. In addition to being a mechanical genius, he's often surrounded by bizarre monsters of his creation.
----

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He has green skin. In one puzzle, he claims it's because [[LEGOGenetics he genetically modified himself to produce chlorophyll]], which [[TheNeedless eliminates his need to eat]], although it's implied he's lying.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: He invented ''time travel'' and has never once thought to make money outside of crime. [[AllThereInTheManual According to a Facebook post]] (which seems to no longer be available), it's because he's already wealthy and doesn't need the money.
* EvilGenius: The strips take place in a modern 21st century setting, but his inventions (which he obviously uses for nefarious purposes) are far beyond what exists now.
* ForTheEvulz
* GoKartingWithBowser: He and Slylock aren't always at odds, since some strips have shown him, Slylock, and Max all taking a trip to the past together in his time machine.
* PokeThePoodle: Among his lesser schemes is hypnotizing cowboys into dancing for him.
