Dr. Vrakator

Dr. Vrakator is the main antagonist of Pinocchio and Friends and an evil scientist. Dr. Vrakator is a parody of "Dr. Drakator", a scientist from the Greek radio program "Εδώ Λιλιπούπολη". However, unlike Drakator who is a protagonist and a hero, Vrakator is a villain. His name "Vrakator" comes from the Greek word of βράκα which means pants/ breeches or βρακί which means underwear. There is a running gag surrounding Vrakator where sometimes, his pants fall off exposing his boxers, alluding to the name of the character. Just like his radio counterpart, Vrakator is a champion in horse racing and sailing contests.

In Pinocchio and Friends:

Dr. Vrakator's origins are unknown but given his name, his over exaggerated accent and the fact that he wears tsarouchia (type of shoes), Vrakator is Greek. He has at his disposal, a gang of teenagers which is ironic, since Vrakator has a hatred for children. Although he posses a jet pack and a range of high tech gadgetry and weaponry, Vrakator has a black donkey which he uses as both a mode of transportation and a racing horse.

He is first seen in "The End of the Adventure" as it is revealed that "Welcome Back" Pinocchio worked for him so he can kill Pinocchio. Throughout the series, Vrakator attempts several schemes on capturing Pinocchio and his Friends, but to no avail. In the series finale "Pinocchio VS. Vrakator", he plans to destroy Pinocchio's village with a giant, timed rocket he built. Pinocchio and his gang enter his lab, but all of them are taken as prisoners. Vrakator introduces himself with a song and tells Pinocchio about his horrible plan. When he leaves for a sailing contest, Pinocchio and his friends find the chance to break free from their chains and attempt to disable the rocket. Vrakator arrives in time, the rocket launches, and he makes his escape by jumping on the rocket. Before his rocket reaches the village, Pinocchio's gang manages to disable the rocket, causing the rocket to explode. Vrakator falls to the ground and survives but later gets arrested by the police, putting an end to his evil schemes once and for all.

Trivia:
