Biography[]
Not much is known about the Money Man. However, what is known is that he harbors a strong affinity for money. Despite his birth date being unknown, his height and proportions indicate that he is an adult.
At some point in his life, he abducted the three primary characters along with Sketchbook. He demanded money in order to release them. If he was not compensated, he would have slaughtered them. The Money Man continuously tortures them in the meantime. They are unable to escape because they are physically bound to seats and they are also gagged, so they are unable to speak.
Money Man also cannot speak in long sentences, being only capable of providing short demands. He is observed to be a very violent person, extending as far as to even hold a hammer to Red Guy's head, prepared to strike him if he didn't read his script. He also dismembers numerous limbs off people.
It is unknown what occurred with Money Man. However, it is likely he received his money and freed the puppets.

Trivia[]
- He is the only antagonist who directly tortures the puppets instead of educating/brainwashing them.
- The symbol from his flag also appears on the gas can used to burn Malcolm in the credit sequence of "Episode 3."
- His armband and his flag resembles the Nazis, with the symbol resembling a swastika. This could indicated that he could be part of an extremist hate group.
- It's unlikely that Money Man will reappear, due to the HELP series being part of a Kickstarter campaign for the show. As the money was raised, It's most likely that Money Man simply disappeared.
