He is the founder of O'Hare air and basically the ruler of Thneedville. He is very greedy and loves money. He hates trees because they will ruin his business by giving Thneedville a different source of air. He is willing to do whatever it takes to stop trees from coming back. He thinks people should think of Thneedville as this perfect place where nobody really needs to leave. He is willing to put smog in the sky to get more people to buy his air. He is very short.
