Original Site Biography[]
Mr. Steward: While he can’t exactly keep the ferrets from doing stupid things with their money, he can at least make sure they don’t drive themselves into poverty, or sell all of their business ventures in order to purchase an iceberg from a shady entrepreneur.
Physical Appearance[]
Herman Steward was originally a human who was dark-skinned and wore glasses. He has since been turned into a badger, yet retains his glasses.
General Information[]
Diligent, efficient, and highly professional, Steward's patience with the ferret's high-jinks has limits. In one episode, after Karishad tricks Keene Milton in getting himself locked in a zoo cage, Mr. Steward lets his boss spend a couple overnights there. When he finally gets out, Keene lets his asset manager see his displeasure. He also attempts to keep Keene from spending money to further his goals for animal equality, under the guise of keeping him from going bankrupt. However, it turns out that he had been secretly plotting with Thomas Milton to steal their fortune. However, his plans ultimately fell through as Keene managed to catch his actions over security camera and fired him, replacing him with Lana Milton.
An angered Thomas, who had been turned into a camel, spits one of the cursed temple coins into Steward's hands, instantly transforming him into a badger. He later moves into Jessica's den (while trying to avoid Karishad's recognition.) Later he teams up with Trinket and uses the cursed coin to transform Marion into a squirrel and later on Lois into a lynx as part of a plan to introduce more animals to the Equal Chance Program in order to bankrupt Keene, as he knows Keene would eventually spend all of his money trying to save everyone. He escapes into the woods before he can be arrested by the K-9 Unit.
After nearly a year of hiding, Steward has managed to transform a few more humans into animals but finds things aren’t going as planned, as the ECP has become even more popular now. However, he is approached by the demon who escaped Pandemonium and strikes Steward a deal. With Steward’s help, the demon releases Eudoant into the mortal realm.
Trivia[]
