Fictional Biography
Enos was born in Hazzard County to a loving family, and grew up a friend of Bo and Luke Duke. At the age of 16, he enrolled at the Hazzard Police Academy, was graduated at 19, and was promptly hired as Deputy Sheriff of Hazzard County by J.D. Hogg.
Enos was always honest and straight, despite the corrupt state of law enforcement in Hazzard County. He was a polite, coy, and bumbling young deputy, whose ineptitude as a police officer, as well as his crush on Daisy Duke, usually inadvertently served to help the Dukes in their attempts to foil crooked Boss Hogg and Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane. Daisy often exploited his weakness for her by sweet-talking him into revealing their schemes. When Enos's incompetence was shown, Rosco would usually respond by calling him "Dipstick." Boss and Roscoe kept Enos out of their crooked schemes, and he was always reluctant to take part in their persecution of the Duke family.
Enos was known for using the expression "'Possum on a gum bush" whenever applicable. Despite his amiable, bumbling ways, Enos is invariably the most capable of the Hazzard police in dealing with real threats: he usually is the one to handcuff the bad guys or draw his gun to cover them, and he usually is a much more capable driver than others when pursuing the Dukes or a crime

Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)
