He is voiced by Elijah Wood.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]
- While he is shown to be a bad brother sometimes, disliking his brother just because of his father, even though Greg himself is always nice to him, and even allowing his pessimism to consume the last of his hope in the penultimate episode, leaving Greg to his own luck while he is surrounded by roots, he is shown to warm up to Gregory and save him in the last episode.
- He helps his brother defeat the Dog when it attacks them, mistaking it for the Beast.
- Rescues Beatrice, who was knocked out after seeing the Beast, and fights the Woodsman off, thinking he is responsible for knocking her out.
- Despite initially not liking him, he still protects his brother throughout the Unknown and keeps trying to find a way to get both of them home.
- He is against robbing Quincy Endicott, only agreeing when finding out all they need is two pennies.
- He helps Lorna end her tasks early to free her from Auntie Whispers, who he mistakes for an immoral abuser.
- He frees Lorna from the Evil Spirit by using the Bell to order it to go away.
- Despite giving in to the Beast's presence and losing hope, he gets determined once more when he realizes Greg is gone missing.
- He looks for Greg relentlessly.
- He owes his promise to Beatrice's mother and gives her a hug when he meets with her.
- He tries to help Greg when he is weak and dying and the Aidlewood roots are growing around him.

What Prevents Him from Being Pure Good?[]
