Nature
Unlike Dr. Evil he is mainly concerned with business and making money. In fact at the beginning of each movie he usually has some big investment that makes Dr. Evil and his cohorts rich. He also tries to convince Dr. Evil to use his resources to make money, for example he once suggested to him that he should use his time machine to go back in time to play the stock market but like that his ideas are usually shot down by the doctor. In the end when Dr. Evil reformed it is unknown whether he went to jail for his crimes or was freed like Dr. Evil and some of his cohorts. In the third movie he gets Dr. Evil's company investes in Starbucks which makes them very rich. He even gets a young assistant who he calls Number Three (The Mole). However Number Three later reveals himself to be a spy for Austin Powers. Whenever Dr. Evil starts evil laughing he is always the first one of his accomplices to laugh with him.
