Main characters

Tom Teufel

Tom Teufel is a devil whose trademark is his black top hat and his light gray suit. He is over 2000 years old and lives in a luxury house with Dennis near the fictional village of Momdorf. He draws his income from stealing money and selling illicit items. He had his last real job in 1703 as an executioner. His favorite pastimes include rob houses for valuables, drinking beer, smoking cigars and watching cartoons. Tom is considered a womanizer, although he cares little about the feelings of women, and is only out for sex. He drives a pick-up from 1982. Tom has a conservative attitude. Although it is over 2000 years old, it never ages and always looks the same. He is also a bit old-fashioned, he complains about today's youth, believes that the flogging for children and teenagers should be reintroduced and watches old VHS tapes that he recorded in the 1980s.

Dennis Trisch

Dennis Trisch is a 24 year old blond haired bachelor who lives with Tom. His parents left him when he was 8 years old. He lived in the children's home until he was 18 years old. During this time he was often beaten, and he also got to know Tom, who helped Dennis against the harassment of the other children on him. This led Dennis to see Tom as a father. When Dennis turned 18, he moved in with Tom. Dennis always has different jobs, which were often an integral part of the stories. In contrast to Tom, Dennis has little luck with women. He also seems a bit childish and naive. Dennis is considered Tom's sidekick.
