Biography[]
A very powerful toad and criminal mastermind he is behind innumerable schemes to cause trouble across the world and was a parody/homage of various spy villains (especially 007 villains). He rarely got his own hands dirty however and preferred to have his many minions do his tasks while he sat and gave them orders, he was often seen with his pet caterpillar Nero, which he treated like a cat (a reference to Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld's iconic white Persian cat). He also has a sidekick, a crow named Stiletto Mafiosa who refers to Greenback as Barone.
The recurring villain and Danger Mouse's archenemy; a toad with a wheezy voice, although, sometimes, he was referred to as a frog. Known as Baron Greenchief in the original pilot, then Baron Greenteeth in the second pilot episode. Commonly known as the "Terrible Toad". In America, "Greenback" is slang for the dollar bills in many regions, adding to the sense of his commercial greed. Allegedly, he turned to a life of crime as a schoolboy when other children stole his bicycle and let all the air out of its tires. In the 2015 revival series, the character was renamed Baron Silas von Greenback and was given a German accent.

Trivia[]
- Edward Kelsey apparently based Greenback's voice on a farmer he had a disagreement with.
- Baron greenback stops the world from spinning in the original series season one episode 10, Ice Station Camel. However, he also attempts to do the same scenario in the reboot series in season one's 8th episode The Other Day the Earth Stood Still.
- It's unknown what Baron Greenback looked like in the lost original pilot episode under the name the Great Bone Idol from 1979 (which would later be redone into the episode of the same name in 1983), although its possible that the common used cels of him originated from the former.
