History Characters / AllHailKingJulien

* AmbiguouslyBi: Mort has been in a relationship with many women and has even been married 11 of them but he shows very deep interest in King Julien. Whether it's romantic or just obsessive is unclear.

A snake that works as Rob [=McTodd=]'s personal plastic surgeon. Since he doesn't have a license to practice in a hospital, he practices medicine OUT OF A CAVE!! Needing a hospital, Julien hires him to be the kingdom's official doctor.

* MythologyGag: A tenrec is seen among the lemurs in ''Madagascar''.

[[folder:Maurice]]]]

* AnimalGenderBender: Real lemurs are matriarchal; WildMassGuessing has dealt with this by pegging him as Ambiguously UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}}.

[[folder:Maurice/[[spoiler:Bricky]]]]

* TheBeard: Going with Ted's campy personality, Ted does not seem to be very attracted to her, a fact she seems to be oblivious to.
-->'''Julien:''' Is [marriage] always forever? Is that, like, a rule?
-->'''Dorothy (happily) and Ted (sadly):''' Hm-hmm.

* AnythingThatMoves: Although he is only seen engaging in romantic affairs with females, he shows plenty of interest in men as well and is thrilled when a fossa falls in love with him even though he admits he doesn't actually know how to tell what gender it is.

* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Mort is essentially im''mort''al.]]

* AdaptationalJerkass: While Mort is generally portrayed as a {{Cloudcuckoolamder}}, here he's depicted as downright AxCrazy. He's also more abrasive and amoral, prone to threatening people with bodily harm for angering him and vindictive to an insane degree.

* AdaptationalJerkass: He is more violent and deranged compared to other versions of him, threatening to rip someone's face off at a point.

* {{Flanderization}}: Mort being older than he looks. While the original (unused) gag in the movies was going to be that Mort was simply the equivalent of an adult, here he's mentioned to be far older than any lemur should be and [[spoiler:is implied to be functionally immortal.]]

* HiddenDepths: Mort is an amazing artist.

* CloudCuckoolander: He is quite... weird, to say at least.

* InTheBlood: As his grandfather shows, [[spoiler:immortality and the ability to consume the essences of other Morts isn't limited to just the Morts of the multiverse, but also their families.]]

* AxCrazy: Mort can get surprisingly deranged and psychopathic at times.

%%* SidekickCreatureNuisance: As Julien will tell you.
* SpiderPeople: Can shoot web and is part spider.

* WildCard: He saved the kingdom from a missle, but was also willing to attempt extortion and rob nearly every citizen. Even as part of Julien's group in ''Exiled'', his ideas tend to be unhelpful and generally resort to KillEmAll.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: For all his quirks, he is frequently referred to as the best King the kingdom has had by several characters.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Now with more gold; He ''truly'' loves his kingdom, but has a hard time showing it sometimes. This is best seen in the fact that he knows the names of everyone in his kingdom, but can't be bothered to remember them if he's preoccupied with whatever his current obsession is at the time. Also, he genuinely sees Maurice and Clover as not as his friends, but also his family, even if he does tend to ignore them and mistreat them at times. Even his tendancy to make a mess of the kingdom on a regular basis almost always had its start in a naively self-centered line of thinking of, "I like X, therefore everyone must like X as well, so I will give the entire kingdom X so it can make them as happy as I am".

* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler: Abandoned by his parents as a newborn where he was found by Julien in accordance with Aye-Aye traditions.]]

-->'''Mort:''' How did they escape? Oh, don't let them find me!
* AdaptationalAbomination: Exaggarated. In most Madagascar media, Mort is just a weird and obsessive, but still mostly normal and fairly innocent mouse lemur. In this show? [[spoiler:He's canonically only 40% lemur and 60% bunch of other things, ReallyOver700YearsOld and has multiple personalities that are implied to be absorbed alternate versions of himself.]]

* GrumpyBear: He is always grumpy.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: He's a fanaloka, a Malgasy striped civet.

->Voiced by: Creator/DannyJacobs

Tropes associated with King Julien:

* AllLovingHero: Fitting his JerkWithAHeartOfGold personality, when things are only going slightly bad he may try to save himself first, but when fate of the entire kingdom is at stake and he knows it, he will do everything he can to try and save everyone ''but'' himself. He is even surprisingly forgiving towards his enemies, like with Rob and [[spoiler: his uncle]].

* AffectionateNickname: While he uses their full names more often than not, when he's feeling affectionate, "Maurice" becomes "Mo-mo" and "Clover" becomes "Clo-clo"

* CatchPhrase: Expresses frustration with "Ugh! Just... Ugh!" or sometimes "Oh, you've got to be ''kidding'' me!"

* DidntThinkThisThrough: It's his FatalFlaw. Once he has some shiny toy or new idea in front of him, nobody is going to be able to keep him from going all-in on it until things have begun to fall apart, often in exactly the way he was warned it could. Both his arch enemies know it, and they've pulled off multiple successful [[BatmanGambit Batman Gambits]] that simply boil down to "Leave this thing for Julien to find, he'll take care of the rest".

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Now with more gold; He ''truly'' loves his kingdom, but has a hard time showing it sometimes. This is best seen in the fact that he knows the names of everyone in his kingdom, but can't be bothered to remember them if he's preoccupied with whatever his current obsession is at the time. Also, he genuinely sees Maurice and Clover as not as his friends, but also his family, even if he does tend to ignore them and mistreat them at times. Even his tendancy to make a mess of the kingdom on a regular basis almost always had its start in a naively self-centered line of thinking of "I like X, therefore everyone must like X as well, so I will give the entire kingdom X so it can make them as happy as I am".

-->'''Julien''': If there may not be a tomorrow, then we gotta live extra big today!
* NeverMyFault: He will almost always try to pin the blame on something bad that's happened on Maurice rather than himself.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: While he is lazy, selfish and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero tends to cause a lot of trouble]], King Julien tries his best to protect his kingdom from danger.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Frequently gets himself into trouble under the false belief that as king, he is immune to consequence. Ironically, the one time this is actually true, he doesn't want it to be. [[note]]The entire kingdom gets imprisoned, but have a fun time of it resulting in an awesome party he can't attend because a previous king made the king immune to imprisonment[[/note]]

Tropes associated with Mort:

--> '''Mort''': "How did they escape? Oh, don't let them find me!"

[[spoiler: He is canonically only 40% lemur and 60% bunch of other things, ReallyOver700YearsOld and has multiple personalities that are implied to be absorbed alternate versions of himself.]]

* AdorableAbomination: [[spoiler: He is an immortal, soul-sucking entity... who nonetheless has the body of a cute little mouse lemur]].

* CreepyGood: Very ''ambiguously'' good, but he is so creepy it disturbs other members of the cast. A good showcase of this is [[spoiler: the episode which has him impersonate the mannerisms of Todd.]]

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: In "Exiled", he turns out to be surprisingly competent when the kingdom is in danger, in his... own weird way. [[spoiler: This includes somehow drinking the ocean once.]]

* {{Flanderization}}: Mort being older than he looks. While the original (unused) gag in the movies was going to be that Mort was simply the equivalent of an adult, here is he is mentioned to be far older than any lemur should be and [[spoiler:is implied to be functionally immortal.]]
* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler: He is a multi-dimensional entity who sucks souls, performs impossible feats and is much older than any of the cast.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: During a speech of his, he instructs people to go for the men first and says how they can sell the children - but the women they will always treat with respect.

* IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler: He has forgotten a lot about himself - as especially shown in ''Exiled'' - and at times it's ambiguous how much he correctly remembers.]]

* LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler: Smart Mort is one of many, them being literal as they are other versions of himself that he has absorbed.]]

* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Mort is essentially im''mort''al]]

-->'''Koto''': My jester's clearly an imbecile. I doubt he even understands where he is.
-->'''Mort''': (in his mind) Oh, we understand. We understand ''everything''! *''[[EvilLaugh laughs]]''*

-->'''Mort''': I can't remember! That was like, 50 years ago!
-->'''Julien''': How old are you?!

* Really700YearsOld: [[spoiler: At least 50 at a minimum, making him the lemur version of this. But, some comments imply he might be even older than that with him in a (albeit unreliable) history book as the "''Adam''".]]

->Voiced by: Creator/IndiaDeBeaufort

Tropes associated with Clover:

* CharacterDevelopment: In "Exiled", she becomes more compassionate and calm by spending time with Sage. By the end of it, [[spoiler: she actually offered to spare Koto when the normally pacifistic Sage was close to murdering him.]]

->Voiced by: Creator/HenryWinkler

Tropes associated with Uncle Julien:

* DoomedByCanon: Although his absence in the ''Madagascar'' movies didn't explicitly need to be addressed, [[spoiler: he nevertheless falls in love and abandons his desire to reclaim the crown]], presumably to assure the audience he isn't likely to retake the kingdom after Julien XIII leaves in ''Madagascar 2''.

-->'''Julien XIII''': [Uncle Julien] would be all "Muahahahah!" and then everyone would pee themselves!

->Voiced by: Creator/DwightSchultz

Tropes associated with Karl:

-->'''Karl''': Julien's fate belongs to me! Not you! Me!

* Vocal Evolution: His voice is deeper and smoother in season 1, becoming slightly higher pitched and gruffer and season 2 and becoming smooth again from season 3 onwards.

-->'''Julien''': Well Karl, it appears you have failed, again.
-->'''Karl''': Yes, you are indeed a brilliant and worthy opponent. Fortunately, there will always be other evil plans.

->Voiced by: Creator/JeffBennett

Tropes associated with Willie:
* ButtMonkey: By season four he's settled so far into this role that he gets degraded by others (especially Julien) on a constant basis, earning him a new catchphrase of a confused "What the heck, man?!"

->Voiced by: Creator/AndyRichter

Tropes associated with Ted:

->Voiced by: Creator/JeffBennett

Tropes associated with Horst:

* {{Flanderization}}: Only seen with a beverage once in a cutaway gag in the first season. Come season 2 and beverage is classified by Clover as a major personality trait of his, almost never being seen without one afterward and frequently showing an obsession with hydration.

-->'''Abner''': It's a simple question Horst, what are you drinking?\\
'''Horst''': My beverage is private, do you have no decency? ''(Takes a big sip)''

->Voiced by: Creator/SarahThyre

Tropes associated with Tammy

->Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson

->Voiced by: Jeff Bennett

Tropes associated with Sage:

* CharacterDevelopment: In "Exiled", he becomes more responsible thanks to his time spent with Clover and is revealed to be more intelligent than she gave him credit for. [[spoiler: By the end of it, he decides to become the king of mountain lemurs.]]
* CloudCuckoolander: He is extremely eccentric, has a tendency to give non-answers to questions and is clearly not all there and can have trouble following a conversation as a result.

->Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson

Tropes associated with Rob:

->Voiced by: Jeff Bennett

Tropes associated with Dr. S:

Tropes associated with Hans:

-> Voiced by: Creator/JBBlanc

Tropes associated with Jarsh-Jarsh:

->Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson

Tropes associated with Zora:

->Voiced By: Deidrich Bader

* ConMan: Andy has used flattery and fear to coerce people into keeping his scorpions, and he claims to love the poorly educated, since they mean money in his pocket.

* FiveFingerDiscount: Andy, along with Pancho, will not only con, but they will also outright break into houses and steal.

[[/folder]]

* TalkingToThemself: Has a tendency to do this, which is taken UpToEleven in ''Exiled'', leading up to a reason why this is happening; [[spoiler:There are literally different Morts from the multiverse living inside Mort all talking in his head.]]

-->'''Koto''': My jester's clearly an imbecile. I doubt he even knows where he is.
