22. Phineas

Phineas is an anthropomorphic fox and one of Varian's assistants. His fur is all black with spiky bangs and green eyes. He wears a black outfit, brown bandana, dark red boots, and gray gloves. He also wears a beige utility belt and goggles he wears around his neck along with a short necklace with a small fox fang tied at the end. He uses dual katanas as his weapons of choice.

Regarding his social life, Phineas only seems to interact with his team. He does occasionally speak with other heroes but it's not common. He is quite shy and affable. He is the son of infamous pirate Black Tail.
