Characters

Main characters

  • Felonious Gru[34] or Felonius Gru[35] is the main protagonist in the Despicable Me series (voiced by Steve Carell in a Russian accent): He is the disgruntled but unluckiest kind-hearted adoptive father of Margo, Edith, and Agnes, husband of Lucy, and the current boss of the Minions. At the beginning of the original film, Gru is ambitious, and seeks approval from his mother, until the adoption of the trio convinces him that their happiness is important. In the second film, Gru leaves his villainous past behind to care for the girls, but then soon joins forces - unwillingly - with secret agent Lucy Wilde, whom he later marries. In the third film, after he and Lucy are fired from their jobs at the Anti-Villain League, Gru learns that he has a twin brother, Dru. Along with Lucy and the girls, Gru meets Dru at his mansion in Freedonia, and they both form a brotherly relationship over the course of the film.
  • Minions (voiced by Pierre Coffin in all films and the theme park attraction, Chris Renaud in the first three films (except spin-offs and attractions), and Jemaine Clement as Jerry the Minion in the first film): Gru's small, yellow, comical henchmen who have one or two eyes. The Minions speak a language that Coffin created by mixing gibberish with words from many languages, including French, English, Spanish and Italian.[36][37] Although seemingly nonsensical, the English-sounding words are dubbed for every country, in order to make them recognizable.[38] It is shown in Minions that they have existed since the beginning of life on Earth, and desire above all else to serve the most terrible of villains.[39] In the short film "Banana", the Minions are revealed to have an uncontrollable craving for fruits, especially bananas. Mentioned in the films and other media are Stuart, Kevin, Bob, Dave,[40] Jerry,[41] Carl,[42] Tom,[41] Phil,[42] Tim,[42] Paul, Jorge,[43] Donny, Mark, Lance, Ken, Mike, John, Steve, Norbert, Tony, Chris, Eric, Lary, Josh, Darwin, Peter, and Mel.
  • The Girls: Gru and Lucy's three adoptive daughters, whom they constantly seek to please.
    • Margo (voiced by Miranda Cosgrove): Gru and Lucy's oldest daughter. In the first film, among the trio, Margo was the most suspicious of Gru initially; but came to trust him at the end of the film. She is something of a protectress to her sisters.
    • Edith (voiced by Dana Gaier): The tomboyish middle daughter; the first to enjoy Gru's eclectic possessions, when adopted by him. Practices martial arts in the second film.
    • Agnes (voiced by Elsie Fisher (2010–2013); Nev Scharrel starting in the third film (2017)): The happy-go-lucky youngest daughter, and the quickest to trust Gru in the first film. She is presented as an innocent, against her more worldly sisters, and has a strong love for unicorns.
  • Lucy Wilde (voiced by Kristen Wiig): A cunning secret agent who has teamed up with Gru to hunt down an extremely dangerous super-villain. She loves one-upping Gru with her quirky gadgets and has perfected her own form of martial arts by combining jujitsu, krav maga, Aztec warfare and krumping. After 147 dates, she marries Gru and becomes the girls' mother.
  • Dr. Nefario (voiced by Russell Brand): Gru's hearing-impaired inventor and partner-in-crime. He seems to have a romantic interest in Gru's mother, Marlena.
  • Dru Gru (voiced by Steve Carell in a German accent): Gru's charming, happy-go-lucky long-lost twin brother, who is also in the super-villain business. Dru looks just like his brother, only he has blonde hair and wears white attire. He is Lucy's brother-in-law and the adoptive uncle of Margo, Edith, and Agnes.
  • Marlena Gru (voiced by Julie Andrews): Gru and Dru's mother. Her neglect of Gru's ambitions is identified among the main reasons why he became a supervillain. In the denouement of the first film, she admits to him that he is a better parent than she. Marlena later makes a silent cameo appearance in the second film at Gru and Lucy's wedding. In the third film, Marlena reveals to Gru that after she and Gru and Dru's father divorced, they each got to take one son with them, with Marlena saying that she got "second pick".
  • Fritz (voiced by Steve Coogan): Dru's courteous, well mannered butler. He takes Gru, Lucy, and the girls to meet Dru at his mansion in Freedonia.
  • Silas Ramsbottom (voiced by Steve Coogan): Director of the Anti-Villain League in the second film. The Minions (and Gru) make fun of his surname.

Villains

  • Victor "Vector" Perkins (voiced by Jason Segel): In the first film, Gru's rival, and the son of Mr. Perkins, the President of the Bank of Evil that supplies loans to villains in their schemes (formerly including Gru).
  • Eduardo Perez/El Macho (voiced by Benjamin Bratt): A supervillain in the second film. As El Macho, he was believed to have died after strapping 250 lbs. of TNT on himself and riding a shark into an active volcano. However, it turns out that he actually faked his death, and he became the owner of a Mexican restaurant. He has a son named Antonio, with whom Margo is infatuated at first, until Antonio abandons her. It turns out that Eduardo was aware of Gru's life as a villain and plans to abduct most of Gru's minions and turn them into hairy, purple, savage, evil minions with a dangerous chemical compound he stole called PX-41 and send the mutated Minions to major cities to take over the world. In the final battle, as Gru manages to restore the mutated Minions to normal, Eduardo drinks the compound himself, turning into a big purple furry monster to fight Gru. He is defeated by Gru and Nefario.
  • Balthazar Bratt (voiced by Trey Parker): A supervillain in the third film. He is a former child star turned criminal who grows up to become obsessed with the character he played in the '80s. In the film trailer, he chews bubblegum and uses it for his villainous schemes and has some weapons such as a keytar which is powerful enough to blow away the clothes of someone. He impersonates some famous singers like Michael Jackson.
  • Scarlet Overkill (voiced by Sandra Bullock): In Minions, she is the world's first female super-villain who is bent on world domination.
  • Herb Overkill (voiced by Jon Hamm): Scarlet's husband and an inventor.
  • Mr. Perkins (voiced by Will Arnett): The enormously fat and equally strong President of the Bank of Evil, responsible for giving out loans to villains in their schemes. It is unknown what happened to him following Vector's defeat.
  • Miss Hattie (voiced by Kristen Wiig): The charismatic but cruel owner of the orphanage from which Gru adopts his daughters. She often uses child labor to punish her charges. It is unknown what happened to her following Gru readopting his daughters after Vector's defeat.
  • Valerie Da Vinci (voiced by Jenny Slate): A ruthless member of the Anti-Villain League who replaces Silas Ramsbottom as Director in the third film. She fires Gru and Lucy due to them failing to capture Balthazar Bratt.
