The first time Ples was introduced, before his appearance in the comic

Ples Tibenoch is a relatively new character to the comic, though he seems likely to join the ranks of Abner and Adelaide as one of the primary villains. Or at least part of him anyway. Ples suffers from some kind of split personality that renders him alternately vacillating between quiet and reserved, to unbalanced and psychotic, in a Jekyll and Hyde-esque manner. One of the most recent pages of the comic left Hanna and the gang trapped in a mansion with Ples' less stable half.

Character Bio[]

Little is known about Ples, the nature of his condition, or even whether he is fully human. It would appear that his personalities switch according to times of the day, wherein "sane" Ples is in control during the day, and "insane" Ples takes over at night, though this theory has been neither proven nor disproven in canon. He has a day job as an accountant, though according to his "insane" half, he "fancies himself a scientist during the day". He is the only canonically gay character in the comic, and he seems to always be emanating a ticking sound, which he claims is from a malfunctioning pocketwatch.

Ples stumbles into Hanna and his crew during the course of their hunt for Lee Falun's killer. They initially meet while Ples' "sane" half is in control, and he claims to have no knowledge of Lee or the information they're seeking. When Hanna later follows him back to his house, however, his "insane" half refutes this claim.
