Figaro is related to Felonius Gru.
It seems so obvious! Their names are so similar, they look so similar, they live in a big, Gothic house, they both have lots of unusual machines, the list goes on and on! Figaro may not have an army of minions, but he does have a Robot Dog who is just as loyal, and with a similar personality. Plus, Figaro is similar personality-wise to Gru when he was young. Timid, socially awkward, etc. Frankly, it seems that the real question is how they're related.He's also related to Jimmy Neutron.
They're both child geniuses, they both have a Robot Dog, they even have similar hairstyles!Figaro isn't really afraid of clowns.
Rivet sure looks a lot like a clown. If Figaro was truly scared of clowns in general, why would he design Rivet that way? Maybe he's only scared of that particular clown who abuses him in the Coulrophobia episode.- Implied in the episode "Waltergeist". Figaro meets a ghost clown, possibly a member of his family, and seems delighted at first, until the clown starts pulling pranks as well.
