The Butcher

The Butcher is a villain on Ruby Redfort and appearance is based on Jack D. Ferraiolo. His specialty is meat-related crimes, and he has the ability to produce copious amounts of any kind of meat by simply calling it out. (Though this power is nullified by tofu.)

"The Butcher" is dressed as a butcher normally would be, but he also very frequently butchers the English language (much to the irritation of Ruby Redfort.) Initially, Ruby had difficulty with this villain and could not figure out how to overcome his meat-attacks. She consulted her friend and ally Professor Boxleitner (who shortly after was transformed into Dr. Two-Brains by an experiment gone horribly wrong) and while consulting him realized that Clancy Crew and his colossal hunger was the key. Since then, Clancy has generally been in charge of handling the meat attacks, devouring astounding amounts of meat and thus rendering the attacks ineffective. Since this, Clancy has occasionally failed, especially if he, Ruby, or both are distracted--such as in the book Meat with a Side of Cute, when they could not resist staring at Li'l Mittens.

The Butcher has displayed a desire to correct his deficiencies in English, but the furthest he has gotten is improving his enunciation. After finding that there was more to language-improvement than just that, he seems to have dropped the more careful style of speaking.

Although The Butcher is quite large and somewhat imposing, it appears he has a soft-spot in his heart. He is sensitive about various subjects, fell in love at first sight with one of Lady Redundant Woman's duplicates, and doted on his kitten sidekick Li'l Mittens (and subsequently began to panic and even shed tears when the feline disappeared.)
