He and Harry are the main characters.

Mentalino
is a tall, beefy, cold-hearted criminal who works as a henchman for Nicholas Andre, the kidnapper.

He attempts to kill Lloyd and Harry, as well as retrieve the briefcase, but is accidentally killed for his troubles when the rat poison tablets (with which he intended to poison Lloyd and Harry) are mistaken for his pills (which Harry and Lloyd tried to feed him after they, unaware of his condition, loaded a burger with extremely hot

peppers). Slide5
