Road Rovers - Characters

Characters

  • Hunter (Jess Harnell): A Dog mix from the United States; Hunter is the leader of the Road Rovers. He possesses super speed, and is prone to listing a range of other "powers" such as super-loyalty, super-trust, and super-luck. He and Colleen have romantic feelings for each other.
Hunter is also noted as being the only Rover whose relatives appeared during the season; he visits his mother in "A Day in the Life."
  • Colleen (Tress MacNeille): A rough collie from the United Kingdom, and the only female in the group; Colleen is skilled in martial arts and is a trained medic.
  • Blitz (Jeff Bennett): A Doberman from Germany; Blitz is a team player but shows no proper respect to anyone but himself. His razor sharp teeth and claws can cut through anything. Has romantic feelings for Colleen, often met only with feigned obliviousness, often followed in short order by physical violence on her part. He often states a desire to bite the behinds of his enemies.
  • Exile (Kevin Michael Richardson): A Siberian husky from Siberia; Exile is the master of fixing and unfixing things. His superpowers are heat, freeze and night vision, along with super-strength (though not as much as Shag). He also frequently mixes up common English phrases such as referring the term "May Day" as "April Day". It is revealed that his real name is "Exilo Michalovitch Sanhusky".
  • Shag (Frank Welker): A Polish Lowland Sheepdog from Switzerland; Shag is a kind of fluke as far as the transdogmafier process goes. Instead of becoming a complete cano-sapien, he is stuck at someplace in between. He can understand English and often wields weaponry, most often a bazooka which he invariably aims the wrong way. He is a coward and his fur also has seemingly unlimited storage capacity which has on various occasions housed food, articles of furniture (some bigger than himself), and fellow Road Rovers.
  • Muzzle (Frank Welker): A Rotweiler. He is often physically restrained with a straitjacket and mask. Action involving Muzzle is done off-screen, and it is implied by the other Rovers that Muzzle is doing rather gruesome deeds. Muzzle was "Scout", The Sheperd's dog that was kidnapped at the beginning of the first episode, he and Hunter became close friends.
  • Professor William F. Shepherd (Joseph Campanella): The geneticist behind the transdogmafier and the Road Rovers. He is the team’s boss and supplier for all their gear.
  • Confuseus (Kevin Michael Richardson) - A play on the historical Confucius. A small terrier-like breed dog (either Pekingese or Lhasa Apso)with the ability to speak, he offers advice in the form of riddles, which often tends to go over the head of his teammates.
  • General Parvo (Jim Cummings): The Road Rovers' main antagonist who is out to destroy Professor Shepherd and conquer the world. He has a permanent cough (It was later in the series that General Parvo was at one time a Cat before being transformed into a "Felin Sapien".
The name Parvo derives from a canine disease which often kills puppies.
  • The Groomer (Sheena Easton): The Groomer is the mostly loyal assistant to General Parvo. She's generally armed with a portable hair clipper, though she uses other equipment when appropriate.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    Waxed-fleshed out-patients
    Still vague from accidents,
    And characters in long coats
    Deep in the litter-baskets
    All dodging the toad work
    By being stupid or weak.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.
    Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)

    I make it a kind of pious rule to go to every funeral to which I am invited, both as I wish to pay a proper respect to the dead, unless their characters have been bad, and as I would wish to have the funeral of my own near relations or of myself well attended.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
