History Characters / AlfredJKwak

* DubNameChange: He's named Kra in German and Korppi in Finnish. The Finnish name of the National Crow's Party is Kansallinen Korppipuolue (Finnish for National Ravens Party), which carries an implication he named it after himself. For an unknown reason, the Finnish translation of the panini sticker book calls him ''Roope''[[note]] This could be trying to be a reference to the voice actor Pekka Autiovuori's role in [[WesternAnimation/Ducktales another cartoon]], but it's propably just a weird mistake[[/note]].

The protagonist of the series.

* AscendedExtra: He only appears in one episode on season 1, but in season 2 he becomes Alfred's BestFriend or sidekick depending on how you look at it as they travel across the globe and partake in many adventures together.

* OmniDisciplinaryScientist: Professor Paljas, adult Alfred's friend and ally, who is apparently an expert in mechanical engineering, rocket science, Egyptology, and linguistics, among other things. Slightly averted when he mentions that global warming is not his field, but played completely straight otherwise.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Alfred and Henk ask him to sink K. Rokodil's ship by sawing a hole in the bottom. Wiedewiegewage agrees, but decides to instead saw underneath the engine room so that cold water would flood into the steam engine and cause a massive explosion that instantly destroys the ship. The only sailor on board can barely get out, and Captain Stoppel is horrified when he learns what happened.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Alfred and Henk ask him to sink K. Rokodil's ship by sawing a hole in the bottom. Wiedewiegewage agrees, but get an even better idea by sawing underneath the engine room so that cold water would flood into the steam engine and cause a massive explosion.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: The meaning behind his english name, Hermann, is very apparent when you consider the context he appears in. He's also a hippo, which make him quite a FatBastard.

* {{Blackmail}}: [[spoiler: In the childhood episodes, Dolf blackmails him into breaking in a pharmacy to steal [[DrugsAreBad pills]] for Hannes so he will win a triathlon, by threatening to tell king Radbout Pikkie was still occasionally stealing stuff despite getting a royal warning in episode 3.]]

* {{Blackmail}}: [[spoiler: In the childhood episodes, Dolf blackmails him into breaking in a pharmacy to steal [[DrugsAreBad pills]] for Hannes so he will win a triathlon, by threatening to tell king Radbout Pikkie stole his ruby [[PlotHole (which the king and presumably everybody else involved already knows)]].]]

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Relatively speaking. The show was not without dark themes, but the Spirit is far more terrifying than any other villain in the series, even Dolf. A flashback montage shows him to have destroyed entire cities and killed many people, including children, on a whim.

* BillingualBonus: "Scheisse" is German for "shit".

* HonestAdvisor: He actually avoids the YesMan trope. Despite being willing to stroke Dolf's ego, he gives him useful advice as well, pointing out that they needn't be in any hurry to seize power and can afford to wait for the most opportune moment to dethrone the King (which is already an inevitability at that point with Ferdinand's ZeroPercentApprovalRating) and tells Dolf that they cannot simply dismiss the Church and will need the archbisop on their side to legitimize Dolf's regime. Even when [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere he abandons Dolf's side]], Geppe leaves him a letter advising him to flee. His instinct turns out to be correct and keeps Dolf out of chains.

* NamedAftersomebodyFamous: The meaning behind his english name, Hermann, is very apparent when you consider the context he appears in.
%%* YesMan: To Dolf.

* DubNameChange: Inspector Holmes in German.

* BackForTheFinale: In the final episode [[spoiler: after Alfred has has rescued Winnie who had been kidnapped by Dolf and they return to Alfred's house in the middle of the night]],[[spoiler: Alfred's friends and allies across the series, Snel amongst them, are waiting and throw a surprise birthday party for him.]]
