Lovable Coward: It's hard not to find him adorable, and in spite of his cowardice, he always remains loyal to the team.
Mr. Finkerton
Expy: His agency's name is very similar to the Pinkerton Detective Agency.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He can be rude and crabby sometimes, but seeing as he has to deal with Inch's antics all the time, can you blame him? In spite of it though, he is still a good guy.
Only Sane Man: Besides Lori, he's the only character in the show who has all their marbles.
Reasonable Authority Figure: He may be a bit rude, but he has common sense. The only times he lets Inch take a case is when the better detectives aren't available, and he will work with the team when the situation calls for it.
