Cliff Stornick (voiced by Robert Tinkler) is a former king of Under, and currently Russel's bully in Up. His family previously lived in Russel's house, and he eagerly wants back the crown and access to the Under portal. He has a younger sister named Sissy.
Personality[]
Cliff is loud, brash, and domineering, and not afraid to threaten Russel on his family's property. Sometimes, Cliff will instigate conflicts or do something to distract Russell and lead him into his crazy adventures in Under as a way to get him to neglect his daily responsibilities or make Russell go to Under to do whatever it takes to let him be king again and re access under. He has dyslexia, which gives him the most trouble with math and spelling. His main hobbies include bicycling, eating junk food, annoying and bothering Russell and reading comic books. He is also terrified of snakes and has a few good friends who mostly travel with him like a gang.
Cliff acts polite in front of Russel's parents, which has led them to think he's one of Russel's friends. Lou is more aware of Cliff's true nature and can easily scare him away, while at the same time, Cliff seems to have a crush on Lou.
Role as King[]
In Under, Cliff was a tyrant known as King Cliff the Grim. Vernon and Loopy were openly afraid of him, as Cliff would often make up bizarre rules and abuse his powers. Due to his trouble with math, Cliff at one point banned numbers from the kingdom, much to Vernon's dismay. Cliff had enlisted Bob Wire as his personal advisor and bodyguard, which only added to how fearful Cliff's subjects were. Bob seemed to treat Cliff in a fatherly manner, but also encouraged his chaotic acts as leader.
