** Don't forget the ''Bear Scouts'' book that dealt with drug pushers. He was ''irate'' when he found the drugs hidden in his houseboat and very frankly informs the cubs that [[EvenEvilHasStandards he'd never sell or do anything that would legitimately endanger them]].

* [[spoiler: DisneyDeath: In one Bear Scouts book, two cons attempt to murder him when he catches on to their scheme by tying him up and dumping him in a lake. He survives by escaping from the ropes, thanks to [[ChekhovsSkill his old days as a magician and escape artist]].]]


Added DiffLines:

** And in one ''Bear Scouts'' book, he was ''infuriated'' when two other cons managed to get away with all but a few dollars of the funds that were planned to be used to build a new hospital wing. May also double as HypocriticalHumor, though even he has never gone ''that'' far.
