He is in love with Ladybug, despite not knowing her true identity, and unsuccessfully tries to impress her as Cat Noir, being flirtatious and making bad, mostly cat-themed puns. His weapon he uses to defeat the villains is a staff, it can change to any size. His special power is Cataclysm, allows him to destroy an object that he touches with a swipe of his paw.
