Biography
Buncle used to be a sailor on Bill Barnacle and Sam the penguin's ship, serving as the chef. Despite his position, he never shown any genuine care for his friends' nourishment, which caused many conflicts between them. The breaking point came when they got lost in the southern ocean, trapped in a heavy blizzard. Buncle invested his energy in baking a cake for himself using the gradually perishing coal, draining the ship's fuel in the process.

The trio got stranded on an iceberg, freezing and hoping for a miracle. While Bill and Sam looked for ways to survive, Buncle kept thinking about vegetable pie. His hunger led him to attempt to kill and eat Sam. Bill struggled to keep Buncle at bay, only succeeding to do so thanks to the sudden arrival of a pudding, bursting out of the ice. The pudding was revealed as magical and sentient, replenishing every time he get eaten, and urged the group to eat him. Buncle was excited from the idea of having a never-ending pudding for the rest of his life, and took the pudding all to himself despite having enough pudding for everyone. However, his joy was short-lived, as the iceberg collapsed under his feet into the ocean. Buncle survived the fall and became obsessed about obtaining the pudding.
