X Middle School Safety Patrol

    Cornelius Fillmore 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fillmore_842.png
Voiced by: Orlando Brown

A former delinquent, Fillmore reformed after being caught by his future partner, Wayne Liggett, who recruited him by giving him a choice between detention and helping him out with a case. Choosing to help him out, he joined the force after the case was solved, and remains a member of the Safety Patrol. He's quite thorough in his cases, and his belief that "the end justifies the means" resulted in him breaking school property on more than one occasion.


  • The Ace: Fillmore's list of feats is simply astonishing. He is proficient in the operation of every vehicle that doesn't require a drivers' license (including several that aren't remotely intended to be vehicles), has infiltration skills that would put most ninjas to shame ("A Forgotten Yesterday"), has been buried beneath a pile of chairs and blasted them all off simultaneously through brute force like he was Neo fighting off the Smiths (“The Unseen Reflection”), has outsmarted countless criminals, is an extremely skilled acrobat and athlete, and can write flawlessly, backwards, at full speed, with his left hand ("To Mar a Stall").
  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: His permanent record and past offenses are seen in the intro. They include: chalk boosting, locker rigging, a comic book poker ring, class cutting, milk counterfeiting (non dairy creamer) and... backtalkery.
  • The Atoner: A former and reformed delinquent, he serves as a Safety Patrol Officer, having been recruited after his former safety patrol partner gave him the choice to help out in a case instead of receiving detention.
  • Big Brother Instinct: It's a terrible idea to threaten or even mistreat Ingrid; Fillmore will make you regret it.
  • Big Eater: Fillmore has an uncanny appetite. He is the reigning Sloppy Joe Champion in X Middle School, beating out a challenger named Joyce.
    Ingrid: The four foot boy who ate an eight foot sub.
  • Big Ol' Eyebrows: Bushy, black eyebrows.
  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: To a lesser degree. He's the Cowboy Cop protagonist, whose skill at catching the villains is probably the only reason he isn't going to be paying off destruction of school property for the next million years from the carnage-strewn chase scenes that happen usually two, maybe three times an episode.
  • Catchphrase: "Disco!" and "Dawg".
  • Clear My Name: During "This Savior, A Snitch".
  • Cowboy Cop: Tends to break school property.
  • Delinquents: Originally, Fillmore was a school delinquent, his personal record was filled with crimes and detention slips attained from his various pranks and actions. It wasn't until Safety Patrol Officer Wayne Liggett arrested him for a crime and gave him a choice of whether to help him solve other cases or spend the rest of Middle School in detention. Fillmore chose to join the safety patrol and from then he was a reformed person who played by the rules and stopped those who sought to break them.
  • Destructive Savior: A Running Gag in the series is how much school property he damages while catching criminals.
  • Determinator: He's quite determined to bring the culprit to justice, and few things slow him down.
  • Experienced Protagonist: By the time of the series premiere, Fillmore has become an experienced Safety Patroller.
  • For the Evulz: Despite having Good Parents and a pretty stable home life, Fillmore took to crime out of a mixture of bad student influences and because he enjoyed getting the better of others and making them miserable.
  • Good Feels Good: Why he reformed.
  • Hidden Depths: Fillmore is a formidable golf player as he won the school’s open at one point; however he chose to keep this ability quiet after an incident revolving around his delinquency.
  • Hypocrite: He has noted several times he was a troublemaker who was lucky enough to be offered a chance to turn his life around, yet will often not give the same options to several troublemakers he has arrested. He has been called out on this every time.
  • I Hate Past Me: He's not proud of what he did in his days as a delinquent. Being reminded of what he did to the mini-golf team made him drop his golf club, and later when he met up with his old partner-in-crime Penny, they spoke of how they turned over a new leaf and looked back on the kind of people they used to be with shame.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Fillmore is known to be rash and jump to quick conclusions on who the culprit could be. Although a tough officer, Fillmore has also shown to be a kind and caring person, willing to risk himself for the sake of his comrades.
  • Platonic Life-Partners: With Ingrid. They have a deep bond with each other and there are no hints of romantic attraction.
  • Protagonist Title: His last name is the title for the series.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Fillmore is a Badbutt boy who is always solving crimes with his best friend Ingrid. The mug he is often seen drinking hot chocolate from is purple with a pink bunny on it.
  • Reformed, but Rejected: For the most part, he is well-accepted and regarded amongst his peers after joining the Safety Patrol. However, some of the student body and faculty, such as Representative Peabody and Mr. Sean Geary, don't believe that Fillmore has truly changed his ways.
  • Reformed Criminal: The middle school version, being a former delinquent. He first started as a Boxed Crook when Officer Wayne Liggett got him to help out with a case in order to avoid detention, and joined up later on.
  • Smart People Wear Glasses: Fillmore wears a cool pair and is quite street smart.
  • Specs of Awesome: White glasses have never look so awesome.
  • Taking the Bullet: A non-lethal version: Even though custard gives him hives, he still took a hit for Augie because he gave his word he'd keep him safe.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Of the Atoner variety. After joining the safety patrol and giving up his delinquent past, Fillmore became more nicer.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: A victim of such. When he first attended X, Fillmore fell in with a bad crowd that encouraged his worst impulses, causing him to engage in bullying, pranks and various misdemeanors despite being a promising student raised in a loving household. Being forced to work with the Safety Patrol put him into frequent contact with good people, eventually leading to his reform. When he has a chance, Fillmore tries to pay it forward by trying to give second chances to hoodlums who show potential for giving up their criminal ways.
  • Troll: He can be this sometimes.
    • After Parnassus managed to get away with attempting to frame Ingrid by getting Budd to be his scapegoat, Fillmore gave him a piece of gum. What he forgot to mention was that it was a piece of hot pepper gum he bought in a joke shop. And as icing on the top of the cake, he slowly drank from a glass of water in front of Parnassus as he began to panic and look for a water source.
    • As he was exiting the office of a Canadian diplomat whom he couldn't bust due to him exercising Diplomatic Impunity, he deliberately broke a vase and pretended it was an accident.

    Ingrid Third 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/third_1787.png
Voiced by: Tara Strong

Fillmore's partner, she was a New Transfer Student at X Middle School who had a bit of a delinquent past herself, as at her old school she was involved in an incident involving a stink bomb and a piñata. Framed for a crime she didn't commit, Fillmore helped her out and recruited her to the force. Claimed to be the smartest kid in the school, she has a photographic memory which is a great help in her work as a Safety Patroller.


  • Action Girl: It is noted before she arrived at X that she did Little League for two years. Ingrid is also shown to have gymnastic abilities but it is unknown exactly how skilled she is.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: She is a very intelligent person which unfortunately made her a target for teasing and bullying; this inadvertently turned her into a delinquent.
  • Badass Biker: She was given a scooter by the Safety Patrol for her birthday which is great for chasing criminals.
  • Badass Bookworm: Her photographic memory helps her excel in her academics.
  • Becoming the Mask: Came very close to staying with the Red Robins, in part due to her similarities to the current leader, Malika.
  • Brainy Brunette: Ingrid has black hair and is claimed to be the smartest student in her school.
  • Catchphrase: "Crackers!"
  • Clear My Name: In the very first episode.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Ingrid's main attire is all black and she's a Safety Patroller.
  • Deadpan Snarker: A dry sense of humor.
  • Deuteragonist: As Filmore's partner in crime, she's the second most important character in the show.
  • Dude Magnet: Despite being described as weird, there are several guys throughout the series that openly hit on her.
  • Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Ingrid probably has the palest skin in the series (sans her older sister).
  • Gamer Chick: Heavily implied. She also owns a robot which is wi-fi enabled, allowing her to follows potential suspects when they cannot be caught and intends to enter it into a robot fighting competition.
  • Genius Bruiser: Besides her brains, her impressive physical ability helps her take down criminals.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She has a kind heart for those she doesn't believe are guilty and at times tries to look the other way. She has also shown a mean side when she and Fillmore fall out over opinions and you never want to push her buttons.
  • Little Miss Badass: A middle school girl who can pull off stunts most adults can't do.
  • The Mole: To the Red Robins in "Red Robins Don't Fly".
  • The Not-Love Interest: To Fillmore. She is his partner in Safety Patrol and his best friend, but they don't have any romantic interest in each other.
  • Photographic Memory: Ingrid can memorize things just by looking at them.
  • Platonic Life-Partners: With Fillmore. They have a deep bond with each other and there are no hints of romantic attraction.
  • Reformed Criminal: Like Fillmore, she had a past of delinquency with quite the record prior to transferring to X Middle School, including spending a year at a reform school in Nepal for a number of incidents, one of which included a stink bomb and a piñata.
  • The Quiet One: Ingrid is the quiet type and speaks only when necessary.
  • The Smart Girl: She is claimed to be the smartest kid in school.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She is quiet and can come off as aloof, but she shows a caring side to her partner Fillmore and she also has a kind heart for those she doesn't believe are guilty.
  • When She Smiles: Does show some warm smiles here and there. Fillmore even lampshades this in the episode "Ingrid Third, Public Enemy #1"
    Fillmore: "What's this? Joan of Arc just cracked a smile!"

    Junior Commissioner Horatio Vallejo 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vallejo_1976.png
Voiced by: Horatio Sanz

The current Junior Commissioner of the Safety Patrol.


  • Badass Boast: He delivers an impressive one to Winston Cotter in "Immune To All But Justice", in response to Winston saying they can't bust him since he's the Canadian Ambassador's son:
    "We may not be able to officially bust you, but if you cause any more trouble in this school, the entire Safety Patrol is going to turn your life into a nightmare from which you will never wake. Am I making myself clear?"
  • Big Ol' Eyebrows: Like Fillmore, Vallejo has big, black eyebrows.
  • Catchphrase: "FIIILLLMOOOOOORE!!!!!"
  • Da Chief: Vallejo was with the Safety Patrol for several years before becoming the Junior Commissioner.
  • A Day in the Limelight: He gets two, "Red Robins Don't Fly" and "The Shreds Fell Like Snowflakes", both of which explore his past before he became the Junior Commissioner.
  • A Father to His Men: Cares deeply about those under his authority and the surest way to get him after you is to threaten them or their reputations.
  • Hero of Another Story: He himself was a Safety Patrol Officer who had a number of cases and crimes to bust in the past, with two episodes showing glimpses of specific ones related to them.
  • My Greatest Failure: More than one. Sees both losing Malika to the Red Robins and not standing up for Frank Bishop when angry parents pushed for his dismissal as these. He's able to make up for the latter.
  • Only One Name: His first name is never clearly revealed in the show. Folsom says it during the hearing for his second term as Junior Commissioner, and even then it's obscured by microphone feedback.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Even though Vallejo may seem tough on the outside, he does care for his officers. He was afraid that Ingrid would join the Red Robins, like Malika did years ago. He also shows concern for Fillmore when he tends to get too rash as he does not want his best officer to get in trouble.
  • Say My Name: See Catchphrase above.
  • Vocal Dissonance: His voice is awfully grainy and deep for his looks and age.

    Danny O'Farrell 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/farrell_2544.png
Voiced by: Kyle Sullivan

A member of the X Middle School Safety Patrol, his main duty is that of the crime scene photographer.


  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Danny is a Cloudcuckoolander of the first order, at one point delivering a curiously philosophical ramble on the Zen nature of being unable to see your own butt, but he's pretty damn good at crime scene photography.
  • Butt-Monkey: Among other things, Vallejo said that he wasn't trained to use a stapler, and he was once temporarily replaced by a tripod.
  • Camera Fiend: O'Farrell is a Safety Patroller whose main duty is crime scene photographer.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: O'Farrell is more the comic relief of the show due to his comical actions and comments, tending to show lack of intelligence towards most situations; however, he does have an big imagination and is able to produce certain knowledge about various topics such as DIY photography.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: Representing his upbeat and energetic personality.
  • Nice Guy: Despite his Bunny-Ears Lawyer tendencies, O'Farrell is one of the nicest characters in the series.
  • Officer O'Hara: O'Farrell is a kilt-wearing (sometimes) ginger security member. Now, make an educated guess.
  • Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: Red hair and green eyes, along with being the key player that solves the case.
  • Youthful Freckles: Showcasing his exuberant nature.

    Karen Tehama 
Voiced by: Lauren Tom
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tehama.jpg

A member of the X Middle School Safety Patrol, she's the patrol's forensics expert.


  • Asian and Nerdy: She is Japanese-American and is the forensics specialist of the Patrol.
  • Brainy Brunette: Besides forensics, Tehama has also shown skill in profiling.
  • Girlish Pigtails: Tehama's main hairstyle. And each pigtail is in a pink ribbon.
  • The Profiler: She provides the patrol with information surrounding the evidence. It should be noted that she isn't considered this in-universe (or at least nowhere near as good of one as Frank Bishop), as the reason they bring Frank Bishop, explicitly referred to as a profiler, back from his disgraceful retirement is that they need one to help them catch "The Shredder".
  • The Smart Girl: She's X Middle School's Safety Patrol forensics expert.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Tehama has a craving for chocolate. This is shown when Ingrid Third bribes her with chocolate in exchange for teaching her how to dust for fingerprints on an old "Carbee Cola" canister.

    Joseph Anza 
Voiced by: Danny Tamberelli
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_32185.jpg

A member of the X Middle School Safety Patrol, often dealing with data gathering, ground patrolling and bodyguarding.


  • The Big Guy: It's been mentioned that he has bodyguard training, and he once easily strong-armed a protester into the Safety Patrol office.
  • Curtains Match the Windows: The show gives his hair a bluish color and he has blue eyes.
  • Living Prop: Has the least characterization of the named Safety Patrollers, never having more than a few lines in any episode.

    Peter Chestnut 
Voiced by: Jack Salvadore
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peterchestnut.png

The fourth Chestnut brother to join the Safety Patrol, Peter is following in the footsteps of his older brother Robert.


  • Catchphrase: "Frisco!"
  • Ditzy Genius: Peter is a somewhat clumsy field patroller, but is both a proficient pitch pipe player and was the one who put together the clues leading him to learning his brother was behind the disappearance of the Lobstee claws, and explains his deductions when confronting his brother in a very logical way.
  • Engineered Heroics: Without his knowledge, his brother Robert arranged for Oscar Mabini to confess to the destruction of the Lobstee claws directly to Peter in order to make him look like the star safety patroller the rest of his brothers were.
  • Heroic Lineage: Played With: While initially clumsy and even appears to be near-inept as a Safety Patroller, he was kept on the force because of his Heroic Lineage as a Chestnut. Furthermore, while he defies the family tradition of serving on the Safety Patrol by resigning to join the barber quartet and follow his dream, he showed decent prowess as a detective by figuring out his brother had stolen the Lobstee claws and manipulated the outcome of the initial investigation.

School Personnel

    Dawn S. Folsom 
Voiced by: Wendie Malick
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/folsom.jpg

X Middle School's Principal.


  • Anonymous Benefactor: She paid for Doc Hemlock's dog to get prosthetic legs.
  • Friend to Bugs: Folsom owned a pet spider when she was younger.
  • Impossible Hourglass Figure: She has a large, curvaceous body.
  • It's All About Me: To a degree, a lot of her wanting the school to look good is so she'll look good by association.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As the principal, she can be strict but fair and usually places the school above all other things except herself.
  • Large Ham: She is constantly threatening to take the Safety Patrol Headquarters and transform it into a Faculty Yoga Studio or a storage facility if they cannot solve the case before a deadline she sets.
  • Male Gaze: Some episodes like to focus on her anatomy. Most namely, "Test Of The Tested" and "Nappers Never Sleep".
  • Mama Bear: The villain of one episode tricked the Safety Patrol into traumatizing Folsom's young nephew so she would get enraged enough to terminate their investigation.
  • Mean Boss: Zigzagged. Technically she counts as the boss of the Safety Patrol given she's the principal. Her interactions with them tend to either be her sweetly complimenting them or threatening some outlandish punishment as an incentive to not fail at whatever case they're working on. The latter happens a lot more than the former. Although at the end of the day she comes out as a Stern Teacher if nothing else.
  • Meaningful Name: "Folsom", as in Folsom Prison. A proper name for Da Chief to Commissioner Vallejo.
  • Mysterious Middle Initial: The "S" part of her name was never revealed.
  • No Indoor Voice: Constantly raises her voice.
  • Pubescent Braces: A picture of her as a child shown in "Field Trip of the Just" shows she wore braces when she was younger.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: "The Shreds Fell Like Snowflakes" featured the school's drama club doing a musical about her life story.
  • Suddenly Shouting: Several episodes such as "The Nineteenth Hole is a Shallow Grave".

    Vice Principal Raycliff 
Voiced by: Jeff Probst
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raycliff.jpg

X Middle School's Vice Principal, he helps Principal Folsom with running the school.


  • Mr. Exposition: Whenever Folsom needs something explained in detail or because she isn't in the mood to explain it, she gets Raycliff to do it.
    Folsom: "RAYCLIFF! A metaphor."
  • Number Two: Raycliff is the Vice-Principal of the school and is Folsom's assistant.
  • Platonic Life-Partners: Implied with Folsom in "Field Trip of the Just". A picture of teenage Folsom blowing out the candles on her birthday cake with two friends and her pet spider is shown, and one of Folsom's friends bears an uncannily striking resemblance to Raycliff.
  • The Smart Guy: He seems to know just about anything about the school, its staff, students and anything else related to it, all from memory.

    Mr. Lendrum 
Voiced by: Brian George
The kind and trusting school librarian, who is rather poor at keeping the books safe and secure.
  • Good Is Dumb: He is a kind man who takes an interest in kids reading, but he can be very naive and is easily distracted.
  • Punny Name: Libraries lend out books, and the first several letters of his name sound like the word "lender".
  • Token Minority; He appears to be of British-Asian descent and is the only prominent non-white faculty member.
  • Ultimate Job Security: He lets every book in the library get stolen over the course of a week because he is distracted reading a (rather short) book, and Principal Folsom can be very intolerant of mistakes. However, he still has his job almost twenty episodes later, with his second appearance also showing that he is poor at getting back overdue books.

    Mrs. Cornwall 
Voiced by: Holland Taylor
The algebra teacher, who has a strong sense of integrity and believes that her students share it.
  • Cool Teacher: She is willing to crack the occasional joke in class and lets her students know where her answer key is as a sign that she trusts them enough not to worry they will steal it. That being said, her tests are infamously hard to pass.
  • What You Are in the Dark: When she was in middle school, the teacher forgot to erase the test answers from the blackboard while the future Mrs. Cornwall was taking the test. Even though the answer was right in front of her and it would have been impossible to prove that she used it, she took the test without looking at the blackboard and got a C.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: She is wrong to trust her students not to be tempted into going after her answer key so they can pass the test, although her faith in honesty and decency moves Fillmore, Ingrid, and eventually the thieves.

    Mr. Delancey 
Voiced by: Steve Carell
The somewhat unconventional biology teacher who appears in the series finale.
  • Cuckoo Finger Twirl: He is only onscreen for about a minute, but makes a new hand gesture (like air quotes or a cuckoo sign) every few seconds, including twirling a finger to indicate he thinks something is crazy.
  • Deadpan Snarker: He loves making sarcastic and dry comments, such as when he lists things that make no sense to him (Arizona rejecting daylight savings time, braille at drive thru windows, and Cats).
  • Perpetual Frowner: He tends to have a grim expression even while making quips or talking about students he respects.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: When his best student asks to be given detention in exchange for getting good grades in order to preserve his bad boy image, Mr. Delancey agrees, but only because the kid is good at taking care of the lab animals during detention and genuinely enjoys doing so. He makes it clear that he wouldn't have accommodated the request if peer pressure was the only factor involved.

    Sean Geary 
Voiced by: Sean Whalen
The home economics teacher, and an enemy of Fillmore.
  • Jerkass: He mocks the notion that Fillmore could ever reform after being a delinquent and is quite preening about how he is certain his restaurant idea will launch a prosperous chain. He is respectful to Ingrid, though.
  • Unluckily Lucky: He is unperturbed that his attempt to break the world record for most custard in a single cauldron failed and ended up flooding the cafeteria, as the incident motivated him to open his own restaurant.

    Mrs. Lawton 
Voiced: Grey DeLisle
The art teacher.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: She is constantly grinning, but is quick to explode in anger.
  • Loony Fan: She is eerily fascinated with the painting "The Lobsterman at Port" and barely seems to register any other artworks while visiting an art museum.

X Middle School Students

    Jamie Townsend 
Voiced by: Chris Marquette
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jamie_townsend.jpg

Jamie Townsend is a student at X Middle School. He once tried selling candy, but it resulted in him being bullied by the Red Robins for being on their territory.


  • Always a Bigger Fish: Retroactively. Although he was running his own schemes later in the series as the head of the lunch bag extortion ring, he evidently knew that he was in over his head when he realized he was setting up a wrapping paper stall in the Red Robins' territory.
  • Batman Gambit: He knew that Fillmore would eat all of his macaroni, allowing him to set him up for a frame-up.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He acts like a good-natured if somewhat nervous kid. He's actually the person behind the lunch bag extortion ring in X Middle School, planning to turn a profit by stealing the lunches from the people he deemed "didn't matter" and sell them to those he believed did.
  • Dirty Coward: Refused to testify for Fillmore out of fear of Scooter McAllister. He's actually the Man Behind the Man to McAllister.
  • Walking Spoiler: He's the person behind the lunch bag extortion ring and the plan that nearly got Fillmore expelled from school in "This Savior, A Snitch", making it hard to feel bad for him when he was a victim of the Red Robins in an earlier episode and puts doubt on the legitimacy and truthfulness of his previous actions.

    Augie Sansome 
Voiced by: Frankie Muniz ("Test of the Tested"); Kiel Holmes ("This Savior, A Snitch")
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/augie_sansom.jpg

Augie Sansome is a con artist, often caught in small scale crimes such as scamming.


    Frank Bishop 
Voiced by: Theo Greenly
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/frank_bishop.jpg

Frank Bishop is Vallejo's former partner when he was an officer and a former Safety Patroller himself. A highly skilled profiler, he was forced to leave the force in disgrace when he stopped a perpetrator with a vat of gazpacho, which the boy was allergic to. The boy's parents threatened a lawsuit against the school unless Bishop was dismissed.


  • The Alcoholic: While he doesn't actually drink alcohol due to both his age and the show's target audience, his behavior and the way he goes through bottles of juice calls this trope to mind.
  • Awesome by Analysis: According to Vallejo, during his time as a profiler, he could identify what a perp ate for breakfast by looking at his shoeprints. He was also the first to figure out the identity of the serial shredder through minor details.
  • Big Ol' Eyebrows: Bishop has thick, black eyebrows.
  • Broken Ace: He's a genius profiler, but since his dismissal from the squad, he rarely leaves his room and doesn't seem to care about anything anymore. At least until he had a chance to come back.
  • Engineered Heroics: Not on his part, but his sister and the drama club staged the whole crime as the former's set up for Vallejo, while he's actually the one who figures out she's the culprit.
  • Everyone Has Standards: He's understandably bitter and angry at the Safety Patrol, and Vallejo in particular, for his dismissal but when he discovers that his sister has set up Vallejo and plans on locking him in her homemade ice palace and leaving him there until his re-dedication ceremony is over, he's horrified and does everything he can to prevent it.
  • Formerly Fit: While his mind is as sharp as ever in the present day, he's gotten rather pudgy due to a mixture of depression and being out of action for so long.
  • Irony: A brilliant detective and profiler whose career was destroyed when he made the decision to trip up a perp he'd been pursuing for months by emptying out a vat of gazpacho, which the culprit turned out to be allergic to. Either he neglected to find that out despite his analytical skills or he made his choice in haste, both possibilities flying in the face of his expert reputation. Also, despite the event being a potential motive for him to have against Vallejo, he's the one who exposes his own sister as having it instead.
  • Nice Guy: According to Vallejo, he wouldn't hurt a fly.
  • The Profiler: What he used to do. Even years after he was dismissed, Vallejo still claimed him to be the best profiler the Safety Patrol ever had.
  • The Scapegoat: What led to his Safety Patrol career ending.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: After getting kicked off the Safety Patrol.
  • We Used to Be Friends: With Vallejo, who he's bitter towards about the lack of support Vallejo showed when parents called for Frank's dismissal.

    Robert Chestnut 
Voiced by: Spencer Klein
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robert_chestnut.jpg

The third of the four Chestnut brothers to serve in the Safety Patrol, Robert served as a highly decorated officer before banking on his reputation to become the Student Council President.


  • Heroic Lineage: As far as it goes for a middle school safety patroller. His older brothers Chuck and Chippy Chestnut, the "Wonder Twins", are the only other safety patrollers more decorated and respected than he is. Unfortunately, his desire to preserve the Chestnut name is what drove him to prevent any shame from happening to him or Peter, hence getting rid of the mislabeled Lobstee claws in secret and ordering a new shipment as well as convincing Oscar Mabini to confess to Peter in order to make him look like the hero.
  • The Illegible: He used to be called "Officer Chickenscratch" due to his poor handwriting, and the autograph he gave O'Farrell actually read "Romblo Chmangey". This trait actually sets off the entire plot, as the Lobstee claws he ordered read "We'ne #7" instead of "We're #1", prompting him to dispose of the shipment in secret to not shame the Chestnut name.
  • Living Legend: His mere presence in the Safety Patrol headquarters causes everyone to stop doing what they're doing and look at him. If anything, this makes his fall all more tragic to those who come to apprehend him.
  • The Perfectionist: He couldn't stand the idea that he couldn't be perfect like his older brothers Chuck and Chippy due to his handwriting. Unwilling to allow himself or Peter to tarnish the Chestnut name, he disposed of the original mislabeled Lobstee claws and arranged for Peter to look like the star patroller he and their brothers were.
  • Student Council President: He currently serves as this, after previously being a highly decorated Safety Patrol officer.

    Randall "The Vandal" Julian 
Voiced by: Josh Peck
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/randalljulian.jpg
Perhaps Fillmore's most infamous arrest, Randall Julian was a former art fair champion who was placed in a "permanent state of detention" after vandalizing nearly all of X Middle School's bathrooms (save for one) as "Flava Sava" before he was caught.
  • Beat It by Compulsion: Fillmore caught him by camping out at the Teacher's Lounge, as he recognized that if "Flava Sava" was going to leave his mark on every bathroom in the school, then he'd inevitably have to hit the one in there. He does it again at the end of "To Mar a Stall" after Randall escapes his cell.
  • Consulting a Convicted Killer: Consulting a serial tagger anyway.
  • The Determinator: X Middle School boasts a humongous campus with a huge number of bathrooms to match. Randall left his mark on nearly all of them without being detected, and he might've gotten away with it if he hadn't tried to go for the last one.
  • Insufferable Genius: Maintains an A+ average despite his imprisonment, figures out exactly who Stainless was within seconds of being presented with the case, and speaks condescendingly to Fillmore throughout his episode.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: Hid behind the respectable veneer of a beloved macaroni collage artist while he performed his crimes. Tellingly, Fillmore had to catch him in the act rather than use proof against him like he usually does against most culprits.

    Brad Parnassus 
Voiced by: Michael Welch
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bradparnassus.png

The smartest kid in school, Brad joined the Safety Patrol shortly after Wayne Liggett moved to Tennessee and was assigned as Fillmore's new partner.


  • Academic Alpha Bitch: Considered X Middle School's smartest student before Ingrid's arrival, he was part of a number of clubs, including the pro tractor club, chemistry club and pre-pre-med club, and he was already preparing himself for college applications.
  • Bad Boss: He leaves his lackey Vudd behind when he sets off the second stink bomb, then makes him take the blame for both bombs to avoid being brought in for it.
  • Detective Mole: He joined the Safety Patrol in order to manipulate the investigation in the stink bomb incident to frame Ingrid.
  • Disguised in Drag: He disguised himself as Ingrid multiple times during his scheme so that if people saw him planting the stink bombs they'd think it was her. He forgot to remove the earrings afterwards and was still wearing them when he made Vudd testify that he planted the bombs, which Ingrid points out to him.
  • Karma Houdini: He gets away with planting the stink bombs and framing Ingrid by getting Vudd to confess, though Fillmore does trick him into eating a hot pepper gum, making Parnassus run to drink some water.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: As the smartest kid in school, he's highly regarded by the school faculty. Folsom won't even contemplate looking at the file Fillmore put together implicating Parnassus because of his contributions to the school.
  • We Will Meet Again: He claims this to Fillmore at the end when his scheme to get Ingrid expelled is foiled, saying he doesn't like to lose.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: "Ingrid Third, Public Enemy No. 1" sets him up as a rival to Fillmore and Ingrid, being a smart, ambitious criminal with a grudge both against Fillmore for besting him and against Ingrid for supplanting him as the smartest kid in school, and Anza and Tehama both remark that Fillmore will get another chance and that people like Parnassus don't know when to quit. He doesn't appear after his debut episode, even in "Test of the Tested" when Folsom makes the smartest kids in school (including Ingrid) hold a meeting with a counselor in preparation of potentially having to retake the S.A.T.T.Y.-9 test.
  • Worthy Opponent: He considers Fillmore as such at the end of the episode and tells him he's looking forward to working against him in the future, and although he hates to admit it, Fillmore returns the sentiment.

    Penny Madrid 
Voiced by: Francesca Smith
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/penny_madrid.png

An old partner of Fillmore from his delinquent days, she also turned a new leaf and volunteers to help organize Winston Cotter's charity events.


  • Anguished Declaration of Love: Although Fillmore insists that they were just good friends, Penny had feelings for him that she still carried in the present day, which she ends up confessing when she tries to convince him to look the other way when he finds out she was in on the counterfeit baseball card ring. Fillmore doesn't reciprocate and tells her to be at the Safety Patrol Headquarters the next morning.
  • I Never Said It Was Poison: She implicated herself in Winston's counterfeit ring by specifying that the missing 4000 cards were Cal Ripken cards, which Fillmore didn't mention.
  • Reformed Criminal: Like Fillmore, she was a delinquent who turned a new leaf after starting to work for Winston Cotter, son of a Canadian ambassador to the United States. She helps him organize charity events. Subverted, as she was in on Cotter's counterfeit baseball card ring, and set him up to be taken down by Fillmore so she could take over.

    Tony Clementina 
Voiced by: Frankie Muniz
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clementina.png

An X Middle School student who deals in extortion and Get-Rich-Quick Schemes.


  • Con Man: His usual brand of crime is extorting stolen property back to its owners and selling knock-off t-shirts. One part of why Ingrid doesn't think Clementina pulled the book heist. He's in it to make a quick buck, not make a name for himself. Fillmore even suggests to him afterwards how he could use the same skill to just sell regular t-shirts.
  • Cigar Chomper: Parodied; he treats his "Extra-Salty Pretzel Rods" like fine cigars. At one point he's shown holding one of them in his mouth like a cigar.
  • Dumb Muscle: He's a fairly large guy, and he failed computer science twice. Another reason Ingrid doesn't think Clementina stole the library books. He's not skilled enough to create all the fake library accounts necessary to steal all the books.
  • I Am What I Am: He claims to Fillmore that "we are who we are" to justify his actions. He ends up growing out of it, using one of his video game handhelds to trip up Noah while he was trying to escape Fillmore and Ingrid and taking up Fillmore's offer for help with turning a new leaf.
  • Primal Fear: He's deathly afraid of heights, to the point of throwing up during a screening of The Red Balloon. Even jumping off the back of the school bus made him hesitate. This is also part of why Ingrid didn't believe he stole the library books, as they were found in the treehouse in his backyard. Clementina couldn't have climbed up to his sister's treehouse to stash the books.
  • Taking the Heat: He took the blame from Noah for the theft of the library books, apparently to prove a point to Fillmore about him being a lost cause.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: He's quite fond of his extra salty pretzel rods.

    Warren "Checkmatey" Foote 
Voiced by: Theo Greenly
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/checkmatey.png

An X Middle School student who is a flamboyant rapper as well as the school's finest chess player.


  • Dirty Coward: He's actually afraid of facing Nelson Kelloch and losing in front of his fans, so he fakes the threatening letters to himself and later fakes his own kidnapping.
  • Even the Guys Want Him: Amongst his group of fangirls there's always one guy also there.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Principal Folsom mentions his real name early on, but everyone refers to him as "Checkmatey". Even the plaque to his room refers to him by his nickname.
  • Painful Rhyme: His skills as a rapper occasionally leave to be desired. He once tried to rhyme "wisdom" with "bomb".
  • Slave to PR: He has a reputation to maintain, which makes him annoyed when the Safety Patrol dismisses his entourage and forces him to stay cooped up away from his fans until his match. On another note, he also doesn't want his fans to see how afraid he is of facing Nelson, nor does he want them to see him lose, hence faking his own kidnapping.
  • Worthy Opponent: Though he was afraid of facing Nelson, even though he lost he took it with grace and shook his hand, with both players looking forward to their next match.

    Sonny Lombard 
Voiced by: Marcus T. Paulk
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonnylombard.png

One of Fillmore's former friends and partners in crime from his delinquent days.


  • Big Bad Friend: He was the one who originally sabotaged Fillmore's bike, leading him to Sonny so he could trick him into stealing the term papers from Rudy Teravall.
  • Catchphrase: "Beautiful, man."
  • Evil Former Friend: Unlike Fillmore, Sonny stayed in the criminal lifestyle when Fillmore joined the Safety Patrol, and didn't speak to him afterwards until Fillmore looked him up to find out who was after him.
  • Out-Gambitted: He forgot one detail in his plan: the phone he gave Fillmore to call him still had the call he sent to Peabody in it, allowing Fillmore and the Safety Patrol to obtain a warrant to take the ledger legally.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: While helping Fillmore find Rudy's ledger, he tries to goad him back to a life of crime.

    Cheri Shotwell 
Voiced by: Debi Derryberry
The head cheerleader, school TV station co-anchor, and welcome wagon greeter.
  • The Glomp: She can be quick to lean forward and hug people after getting good news.
  • Hidden Depths: Shallow cheerleader or not, she displays an enthusiasm for model trains in "Next Stop Armageddon". While part of this may be because the club President is Tall, Dark, and Handsome, she does display keen knowledge about a type of model.
  • Hypocritical Humor: She prides herself on supporting environmental causes but also uses hairspray, which is a cause of air pollution.
  • Lovable Alpha Bitch: She is a shallow girl involved in lots of school activities, but she is generally polite and helpful to Fillmore and Ingrid. She also congratulates a classmate over his petition to save his family's shop from being condemned in "The Shreds Fell Like Snowflakes" and shows horror when someone destroys the petition.
  • Perpetual Smiler: She smiles a lot in nearly all of her scenes, although sometimes it can seem a little forced.
  • Punny Name: As a cheerleader for the basketball team, she cheers when players do a good job making shots, and her surname is Shotwell. She is also Ambiguously Related to student golfer Cuzzy Shotwell and the namesake of the Esther Shotwell Memorial Jai Alai Center, with jai alai and golf being other games where attempts to score points are called shots.

    Alexandria Quarry 
Voiced by: Raven-Symoné
One of the school reporters and a Recurring Extra until the finale, where her troublemaking crush is the prime suspect in the poisoning of the science lab’s tarantula.
  • Bespectacled Cutie: She is a socially awkward, bespectacled middle-schooler who can barely go ten seconds trying to talk like a delinquent without nervously apologizing. She is the Villain of the Week, but feels horrible about it and comes across as more misguided than malicious.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: She has occasional background scenes, but only gets personality and plot relevance in the final episode, where she is the culprit.
  • Family Theme Naming: She and her father Alvin both have named beginning with "Al".
  • Jaywalking Will Ruin Your Life: Her efforts to non-fatally poison the tarantula her boyfriend has to take care of (which is just meant to get the tarantula sent away), nearly kills the spider after she misjudges the dose. After being caught, she gets suspended for a month, followed by detention for six months, being banned from school activities for a year and two years of school community service.

    Francine Bishop 
Voiced by: Mae Whitman
The sister of Frank Bishop. She is a sculptor and drama club member.
  • Big Sister Instinct: It is implied that she is younger than Frank or that they are twins, but she is sad and concerned about how depressed her brother has gotten since his expulsion from the safety patrol, even though she admits that they had their share of squabbles in the past. This turns into a case of Knight Templar Big Sister in the climax, though, when she tries to lock Vallejo in the dungeon of her ice castle for twenty minutes so he will miss a meeting and be kicked off the safety patrol, just like Frank was after Vallejo refused to help him. She also locks Frank up with Vallejo when he tries to intervene, insisting he will thank her later even after Frank denies this.
  • Informed Ability: She is the only drama club member who is never seen rehearsing for a play about Principal Folsom, although she does a good job of lying to the heroes.
  • Jerkass to One: She seems genuinely friendly and well-meaning to everyone except Vallejo, who she blames for ruining Frank’s life and would be happy to see undergo the same misfortune. She also nearly runs over Fillmore and Ingrid with a snowplow in the climax, but this seems to have been accidental.
  • Third Act Stupidity: She is quite intelligent for the most part but the final stage of her plan, locking Vallejo (and Frank, when he tries to intervene) in the dungeon of her ice castle to make Vallejo miss being sworn in for another term as junior commissioner shows some ignorance and clear lack of foresight. She clearly intends to let them go, unharmed, in short order, but doesn’t seem to realize that even a short period locked up somewhere as cold as that could pose a freezing risk. She also doesn’t seem to have realized that Vallejo can and will arrest her for locking him up as soon as he gets out.
  • Young Entrepreneur: She has a garden full of ice sculptures that she has made over the winter and charges people $10 to tour it, with the business being a profitable one.

    Alexis Bixby/Gladys 
Voiced by: Lauren Storm
A member of the cheerleading team who seemingly moved away prior to the episode "Codename: Electric Haircut". However, when her best friend tries to send her a mirror left behind in her locker, Alexis can't be contacted and all signs that she ever attended the school have been erased, leading to an investigation that ties back to a sinister plot against the popular kids.
  • Badass Bookworm: She is a physically fit athlete who Ingrid doesn't want to face in a fight and is also the president of the computer club and a skilled programmer.
  • Broken Ace: By all means being a skilled president of a computer club and being very beloved and competent cheerleader isn't something everyone could pull off, but she did. However the experiences of being a shunned computer geek left her with some insecurities that her friend was able to exploit to get her back on her revenge plan against the popular kids. Thankfully by the end she was able to overcome this by a pep talk from Ingrid.
  • Forced into Evil: She is being blackmailed by the Villain of the Week and doesn't want her friends to see her as untrustworthy, so she reluctantly helps make a sinister computer program and keep Ingrid from warning anyone in the climax. She comes to her senses after a You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech.
  • Formerly Fat: She lost enough weight after first changing identities that when she goes back to being Gladys, she has to stuff a pillow under her shirt to look the way she used to.
  • Living MacGuffin: She is a living person, and most of her sole episode revolves around the search for her and attempts to learn her secrets.
  • Nice Girl: Everybody who knew Alexis says that she was very kind and generous. The fact that Gladys displays these same traits clues Ingrid in that they are the same person.
  • Pom-Pom Girl: She has a kind and selfless demeanor and has always made people feel good about themselves. Her coach credits her for getting the cheerleading squad to the regionals competition.
    Coach: The girl was a born leader. And by born leader, I mean popular, loved, and more limber than a $10 pipe cleaner.
  • Two Aliases, One Character: It eventually turns out that Alexis is really a computer geek named Gladys who got a makeover, changed her name, and changed cliques to go into hiding from an unbalanced (albeit not Beyond Redemption) friend who wanted her to help her hack everyone's secrets. Her friend later tracked her down and got her to switch identities again.
  • Un-person: Every picture and record of her in the school has been digitally deleted, making it hard to learn anything about her beyond her friends' memories.

    Linus Santiago 
Voiced by: Franco Velez
A boy with a long history of petty thefts and field trip disruptions who claims to have reformed to become a Stage Magician. However, when a toy dog vanishes during his talent show act, few people are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
  • Honor Before Reason: He agrees that revealing how he did his magic tricks would prove his innocence and make it easy to find who really stole a robot dog that he made vanish for his act, but he persists in abiding by the magician's code against exposing the secrets behind tricks.
  • Last-Name Basis: Everyone, even his girlfriend, calls him by his last name except in formal scenarios like when Ingrid and Fillmore are looking at his file.
  • Reformed Criminal: He shows no signs of wanting to return to being a disruptive thief and even uses his talent show prize to repay one of his past victims.

    Alistair Greystone 
Voiced by: Kiel Holmes
X's resident psychic.
  • Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: During the final act of Cry the Beloved Mascot, he seems to make use of his powers to find Lobstee, and he succeeds in doing so. However, it's left ambiguous if he was experiencing actual psychic visions or was simply lucky in his educated guesses. For example, the culprit could've chosen to hide the mascot somewhere unexpected like the school's cactus exhibit or he could've done the more sensible thing and done so by stashing it at the docks.
  • Phony Psychic: The episode 'Cry The Beloved Mascot' states that he is in fact a phony and all of his most recent predictions have been because Harrison Post, the true culprit, has been sending him emails forecasting future events in order to blackmail him into framing Vern Natoma for Lobstee's kidnapping via the 'foot-in-the-door' technique. How Harrison knew of these things is anyone's guess, however. But the ending of the episode implies he may be a Not-So-Phony Psychic, after all.

MacLuhan Middle School Safety Patrol

    Wayne Liggett 
Voiced by: Lukas Behnken
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_57563.jpg

Wayne is Fillmore's former partner who brought him out of a life of delinquency. He moved to Tennessee and joined the Safety Patrol at MacLuhan Middle School.


  • 10-Minute Retirement: He gave up for a time after getting kicked off the force by the Patrol Sheriff. When he hears Fillmore needs help, he goes back in to save him.
  • The Ace: As Fillmore says, Wayne wrote the book on being an ace safety patroller and the two of them were X's best officers before Wayne moved away. When Fillmore visits him in "South of Friendship, North of Honor", it's shown they haven't lost a step.
  • A Friend in Need: What breaks through his 10-Minute Retirement: Fillmore in need of help.
  • Big Ol' Eyebrows: Wayne has thick, brown eyebrows.
  • By-the-Book Cop: During his time as Fillmore's partner, he was said to be this to Fillmore's Cowboy Cop.
  • Da Chief: Promoted to Patrol Sheriff after proving Thrift's corruption.
  • Dramatic Irony: A mild case but it's interesting that the By-the-Book Cop broke what was at least a convention to offer Fillmore, a known delinquent and implied thorn in the X Safety Patrol's side, a choice between the detention his antics had earned and working with the Patrol on a case.
  • Excellent Judge of Character: Wayne recognized that Fillmore had potential and could be an asset to the safety patrol with some guidance. His faith was rewarded as Fillmore would reject his old criminal habits and become both one of the safety patrol's best officers and Wayne's best friend.
  • Fire-Forged Friends: With Fillmore, who became his partner on the Safety Patrol to avoid detention.
  • I Did What I Had to Do: His reason for looking the other way during the Patrol Sheriff's corruption. He feels that without him on the force, the Sheriff would let all the school's delinquents take over. Keeping quiet at least allows him to enact some control over them.
  • Lethal Chef: Fillmore's comment that Wayne's pralines are like doorstops implies that Wayne can't bake to save his life.
  • The Mentor: He was this to Fillmore.
  • My Greatest Failure: Getting his partner Emily kicked out of the Tennessee Safety Patrol and making her transfer out of the school.
  • Token Good Cop: When Fillmore visits him in Tennessee, Wayne seems to be the only honest member of his school's Safety Patrol, with the Patrol being headed by Patrol Sheriff Thrift and staffed mostly by his cronies. When Fillmore and Wayne try to find evidence that the Thrift stole a supply of pralines meant for a school fundraiser, only one other patroller, Jeter, is revealed to be honest and willing to help expose the corruption. The end of the episode sees Thrift having his crimes exposed to the school's principal (who also happens to be Thrift's father), and Wayne is made the new Patrol Sheriff for the school.
  • Walking Spoiler: Due to the fact that by the time Fillmore visits him, Wayne's school safety patrol is corrupt and his partner transferred out.

    Emily Kinzey 
Voiced by: Lauren Tom
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emily_kinzey.jpg

Emily is Wayne's new partner in the MacLuhan Safety Patrol after he moved to Tennessee.


  • Left Hanging: Whether she managed to learn that Wayne eventually exposed Thrift and his lackeys or they manage to reconcile is not explained.
  • Satellite Character: She shows up only to be seen as Wayne's new partner in Tennessee. The fact that she's absent when Fillmore visits in "South of Friendship, North of Honor" is an important detail he brings up, which Wayne is reluctant to talk about due to how bad things have gotten with the MacLuhan Safety Patrol.
  • Walking Spoiler: Due to having dropped out from the Safety Patrol and changed schools after an incident she was helping Wayne with.

    Patrol Sheriff J. T. Thrift, Jr. 
Voiced by: Peter Newman
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/patrol_sheriff_thrift.jpg

The Patrol Sheriff at MacLuhan Middle School by the time Fillmore visits Wayne in Tennessee.


  • Dirty Cop: Despite being the head of the MacLuhan Middle School Safety Patrol, he regularly abuses his power over his fellow safety patrollers as well as other students. Unsurprisingly, it turns out that he's the one who stole the pralines that were meant to be sold to raise funds for the school, and he even has underground connections to sell them.
  • Hat of Authority: He's The Sheriff of his school's Safety Patrol, and the only one to be wearing a hat.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: His father, Colonel J. T. Thrift, Sr., is the principal of the school, and while he does not approve of what his son has done when he learns about it, as long as there wasn't any solid proof of the Patrol Sheriff's crookedness, the principal wouldn't tolerate accusations against him, allowing him to get off scot free with whatever misdeeds he committed.
  • Small-Town Tyrant: Parodied; as the Patrol Sheriff at MacLuhan, he serves the role of the corrupt rural hick sheriff who runs the place.

    Jeeter 
Voiced by: Luke Eberl
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jeeter.jpg

A member of the MacLuhan Safety Patrol.


  • Canine Companion: He's rarely seen without Jeremiah, the bloodhound who serves as the Safety Patrol's mascot. He often tries to train Jeremiah with very limited success.
  • Token Good Teammate: In an organization at the mercy of corruption, Jeeter is the only native Tennessean Safety Patroller who helps Fillmore and Wayne out.

Others

    Leonard "Leo" Grahand 
Voiced by: Richard Riehle
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leonard_grahand.png

A security guard at the Modern Contemporary Natural History Museum of Art, Science and Miniatures during Fillmore and Ingrid's class trip.


  • Becoming the Mask: Gustav Amadeus Douglas took on the identity of "Leo Grahand" and the position of security guard at the museum that bought his art as a reminder to himself that he sold out. He went on to have a successful thirty year career at that same museum, and became known as one of the best guards at that museum and was even known to have stopped a number of art thefts. In the end, Gustav Amadeus Douglas may have vandalized his own painting, but Leonard Grahand made sure it could be restored.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Interestingly enough, while he himself believed that he vandalized his art so he could complete it, deep down he did it because he was resentful about being forced into early retirement after thirty years of loyal service as a security guard.
  • Eccentric Artist: He was on hard times as an artist as nobody was really interested in his art. Aside from the unfinished Lobsterman at Port, most of it was very abstract in nature due to mainly being created from him rolling himself in paint and throwing himself at the canvas.
  • Intergenerational Friendship: He has a friendship with eight grade student Nick Baker, who helped a lot at the museum as a volunteer even after his period of community service was over.
  • Lantern Jaw of Justice: He's a security guard at the museum who never let anything go wrong on his watch during his thirty year career, and has a very noticibly cleft chin.
  • My Greatest Failure: The reason he took the job as a security guard was to remind himself that he sold out to Simon Prosper, accepting the money for his unfinished Lobsterman at Port piece so that at least one of his paintings could be appreciated by the public.
  • Token Adult: Amongst the cast of criminals shown throughout the show, Gustav/Leo is the only adult culprit.
  • Walking Spoiler: His real name is Gustav Amadeus Douglas. He was the painter who created the Lobsterman at Port, and took on a job as a security officer at the museum to remind himself of how he sold out. He vandalized the painting in part so that it could finally be finished the way he intended, fueled by resentment at being forced into early retirement from the job he had come to love over the course of thirty years.
