Major Characters
Stinkoman
Stinkoman is a robot whose mission in life to the challenge whomever and whenever he can. He has a powerful charging double duece attack is in quite a strong opponent against Tampo, Brody and Stlunko. He was created by Strong Bad in the year 2037, with help from the magician Bozar.
He is friends with 1-Up and Pan Pan, who live with Stinkoman in his large house. Stinkoman has a gigantic kitchen, where Brody was hatched without him knowing. Stinkoman doesn't seem to be too close to his friends however, as he seems to care more about challenges and fightings. However, 1-Up still admires him, and considers him as "The Guy."
Stinkoman doesn't hate Tampo, Brody and Stlunko too much. He just enjoys challenging and defeating them. His role in the popular Stinkoman 20X6 game has greatly increased his popularity, much to the dismay of Tampo's friends. The master seems to hate him too, which is why he employed Stlunko to aid in Stinkoman's demise.

1-Up
1-Up is best friends with Stinkoman, whether Stinkoman cares or not. He is friendly, hyper, and rather ignorant at times. He likes his friends Pan Pan and Stinkoman more than fighting, but even they cannot compare to 1-Up's favorite thing in the world: pudding. 1-Up craves pudding and loves it more than anything. He is upset to see pudding go to waste and will do almost anything to get some.
This robot was created in 2039, two years after Stinkoman, by Homestar Runner and Strong Bad. His love for pudding was caused when Homestar Runner accidentally programmed it into him.
He is friends with Pan Pan, but he looks up to Stinkoman as his superior. He wants to be just like Stinkoman, but he is considered too young. Maybe when he's older. He also wants to be "The Guy." He is a much weaker fighter than Stinkoman, but is trying hard to improve his skills.
A while ago, he gained control of Stinkoman's power crunch that allowed him teleport at will. He teleported into Tampo's lunar headquarters and wreaked havoc, but he was captured by the boss trio. He was locked into a holding cell for a while, but was released as a reward for Stinkoman in return for saving the boss trio's lives.
Although he kind of upset about being captured, generally 1-Up is neutral when it comes to being enemies of Tampo and company. Tampo and Brody dislike him a little because of his annoying personality and his friendship to Stinkoman. At one point Tampo recruited him to join the fight against Stinkoman, using pudding as a bribe, but it did not work out so well.

The Boss Trio Reloaded
The Boss Trio Reloaded, name coined by the Trickster, is a group of three ex-minions of Tampo's army that revolted against him and stealthily and cleverly took over Tampo's army and warehouse over the course of several emails. The trio is comprised of Chorch Commander, a Greggo called the Trickster and a Jaro known as Sidekick Bob. They prove that when you put your mind to a task, and have a hypnotising superweapon, you really can accomplish anything.
Chorch Commander
Chorch Commander is the leader of the Boss Trio Reloaded. Previously known as Chorch Commander #20, he was the lowest ranking of all twenty of Tampo's commanders. His thirst for money, power and fame led him to secretly revolt against Tampo. He wishes to dethrone Tampo and his two friends and take their place as one of the Master's greatest minions, controlling a large army and warehouse.
He built a secret lab with powerful technology to aid him in his cause. One of his first plans was to secretly team up with Stinkoman in Tampo's demise, however this plan was foiled by the original boss trio. The defeat eventually resulted in his lair exploding, and he was presumed dead in the explosion. He was not killed however, and had survived in an underground lab connected to his lair.
He reappeared and joined up with the Trickster, whose mind he had filled with schemes beforehand, to aid him with his surviving advanced technology. With his technology and some plotting, he was able to hypnotize and brainwash Tampo's entire fleet. His new army knows him as plainly "Chorch Commander," which is apparently his new name. He also took his position as the leader of the Boss Trio Reloaded at the time.
Appearances: betrayal, death, experiment, revolution, threats
The Trickster
The Trickster used to be your average unnamed Jaro in Tampo's army. Apparently Chorch Commander had seen something promising in him and told him some plans and reasons to why Tampo needed to go. The Trickster had taken these teachings to heart, and when he accidentally heard Tampo break one of the Master's rules, he decided to report it to the Master. Unfortunately Tampo heard of his plans and gave him an official order to never speak again.
The muted Jaro went to his friend, another unnamed Jaro, for support. When he confronted Master Sticklyman and publicly disobeyed Tampo's no-speaking order, it did not go well and he was destroyed. Everyone considered him destroyed, but his brain chip was ejected from him in the nick of time and was secretly recovered by his Jaro friend, who then inserted it into a Greggo body, because there were no Jaro bodies available.
Once in the Greggo body, the Trickster decided he would try to dethrone Tampo using Chorch Commander #20's help. When he learned of Chorch Commander's demise in the explsoion, he decided he would take his place and finish what he started, beginning small and growing big with time. At this point he named himself the Trickster and his Jaro friend Sidekick Bob. He also gathered a few close friends to aid him.
During his second prank on Tampo, he was secretly contacted by Chorch Commander #20, who congradulated him on his efforts. Using the Chorch Commander's plotting and technology, the Boss Trio Reloaded was able to take over Tampo's army, using the Chorch Commander's invention and the Trickster's unanimity. The Trickster currently resides in the second-in-command slot of the Boss Trio Reloaded.
After they hypnotized Tampo's army, he increased his size by three times and put on red, angular sunglasses that make him look evil.
Appearances: master, inspection, security, apocalypse, death, experiment, revolution, threats
Sidekick Bob
Sidekick Bob the Jaro is the lowest of the Boss Trio Reloaded, and is known by the hypnotized minions as "mediocre." He supported the Trickster when he was just a muted Jaro and collected his brain chip with his body was destroyed. He put his friend's brain chip in a Greggo body and hesitantly joined the Trickster in his plans, although he doubted it would ever become something big. He disliked the name "Sidekick Bob" but took it anyway.
He has hesitantly helped the Trickster's pranks, although he has always tried to make sure Tampo, Brody and Stlunko aren't harmed in any of the Trickster's pranks. He often acts sarcastic towards the pranks. The Trickster likes him but slightly distrusts him. He is hardly important to the Boss Trio Reloaded plan's anymore.
After rising to power, he distinguished himself from other Jaros by increasing his size threefold and wearing a Homestarmy bowl/hat. He now also has two blips for eyes, similar to Stlunko's, as opposed to the single, moving blip he had before.
Appearances: master, inspection, security, apocalypse, death, experiment, revolution, threats
Saargtsson
Saargtsson was a long-time rival of the three bosses, and they had often challenged themselves for sport. When Tampo acquired the Lunar Warehouse, he got jealous of Tampo's fame, wealth and favor with the Master. He sent his minion Zyves as a spy into the trio's lives, to gain their trust and then betray them in a fight. Zyves did his job well, and Saargtsson captured the trio and prepared to kill them, but was then foiled by Stinkoman. He was injured and was taken back to his headquarters by Zyves to recover.
He left the boss trio alone until the Boss Trio Reloaded's revolution forced the boss trio to resettle in their hometown of Challenge City, where they were seen as criminals. To hide from the law, they moved into the Lava Zone to hide, where Saargtsson treated them as his inferior.
Initially Saargtsson had them pay for room and board, but then some conversation with the Master decided to reduce the boss trio to the role of Saargtsson's minions. Saargtsson still has the boss trio as his lowly underlings, although he does let him live in a rather spacious cave and gives them a computer to answer emails. He often forces them to do manlabor.
He has a long rivalry with An Ice Machine, from whom he had taken the Lava Zone caverns many years ago. So far he has been able to defend his land from An Ice Machine's occassional attacks. An Ice Machine's most recent attack left him with a bad cold, which literally turned him blue.
He hisses whenever he pronounces letters S, F, V, Z, TH, or soft C.
Appearances: saargtsson, revolution, bozar, threats, clear out, bomb squad, cousins, freeze, time stream, anniversary, firewall, nausea
Zyves
Zyves is a cyborg duck of formidable stregth and firepower, with an arsenal of several weapons. He contacted Brody by email and asked to join forces. Brody accepted the offer and found him. Zyves was considered as the trio's sidekick, a step below Stlunko.
His personality is friendly and rather straight-forward. For a time, he disappeared mysteriously from the trio without a trace, and wasn't there when they fought NEB-1 and 1-Up. But a few emails later, he reappeared and helped out the trio once again. He claimed that he had to defend his family on short notice, and thus disappearing without leaving a message, although it is possible that he was reporting back to Saargtsson instead.
It turned out that he was really a spy for Saargtsson. He was put in the boss trio's lives so that he could make them lose in a fight against Saargtsson, whom planned to kill them afterwards and steal their stuff. Ironically, Tampo and his friends lives were saved by Stinkoman, who then got 1-Up back as a reward. Zyves is currently still loyal to Saargtsson, who had raised him, and carried Saargtsson back to the Lava Zone when he got injured.
When the boss trio had to live with him in the Lava Zone, he felt sorry for his actions to them in the past, especially towards Brody, who apparently befriended him while he was spying. He has slowly tried to re-earn his friendship with boss trio, and for the most part has been successful with Tampo and Stlunko, although Brody has been more difficult.
The image of Zyves shown on the right is a depiction of Zyves by Ekul. It's not an exact replica of Zyves, but it should give you the basic idea of what he looks like. Zyves has no relation to Ekul's Character "Zyves," who is the 20X6 version of Kyves.
His 30X2 variant is his descendant Lyves, who is very similar to his ancester in build. Lyves controls a Gokul lava industry based in the Lava Zone. He appeared in the email "time stream".
Appearances: new stuff, crossover, dark side, training, saargtsson, revolution, bozar, bomb squad, cousins, freeze
The Master
Tampo, Brody and Stlunko, as well as Saargtsson, are all subject to their master. The master is actually Sticklyman, a year or so after the "Under Construction" incident, where Stinkoman injured him and effectively ruined his life. He has trained thoroughly in the fields of mechanics and martial arts, making him an expert builder and powerful fighter. He has devoted his life into making Stinkoman's life as miserable as possible.
Because of the injury, his head is now cyber-organic. He is a cyborg, and he now sports a red visor over his "eyes." He also constantly wears a robotic suit to match. He has built several robots, including Stlunko, to aid him in his cause. Then the robots help fight Stinkoman and recruit new minions to become subject to the master and his plots. That is how Tampo and Brody got into this: Stlunko recruited them.
Most of the time, the master lets his underlings go about their jobs without intrusion, wanting status reports every so often. Once a year however, he visits his underling's workstations to inspect their work and take his share of the money. If his minions have done a good job, he rewards them with a smaller fee. If he is not pleased, however, he takes more money so it will be "put towards a better cause."
Although he was referenced in early emails, his story, identity and appearance weren't revealed until the email "master," and he never actually appeared in an email until "inspection."
Appearances: master, inspection, apocalypse, revolution, overthrow
