Biography[]
Herb's Introduction[]
Herb is first introduced by his wife Scarlet Overkill, showing his love and care for Scarlet and acts as a friend to the Minions by doing the same greeting that Stuart did earlier on.
Back Stabbing Little Traitors[]
Later on Herb gives them special gear and (Bob: Stretch Suit, Kevin: a gun that shoots out lava and Stuart: Hypno Hat) to steal the crown jewels. He also reveals his ultimate weapon, which isn't finished yet. After they find out that Bob is the new king, Herb and Scarlet invade Buckingham Palace to take revenge.
Locked in the Dungeon[]
Later Scarlet locks the Minions in a dungeon leaving them with Herb (by his nickname Blerb so they do not know it was him) to torture them, but he to get too carried away by the Minions' outrageous antics and plays with them instead. When Scarlet calls him, he leaves the dungeon, popping back in moments later to reveal it was him (which the Minions knew all along) and that he doesn't even know anyone named Blerb, apparently convinced they fell for his ruse.
Queen Scarlet[]
After the Minions escape in an attempt to apologize to Scarlet, they almost crush her by accident with a chandelier. Herb and the other attending villains help move the object and see if Scarlet is alive, which she is. Still alive and very angry, they orders a big angry mob to kill the minions.
Final Battle[]
Kevin goes back Scarlet's house, gets in a machine that belongs to Herb that makes him giant and saves Bob and Stuart from Scarlet and Herb, when Scarlet tries to get away with Herb, Kevin grabs them by super strength (despite that he is giant), and blows up with the rocket that Scarlet shot in his mouth and some how they survived the explosion.
New Master[]
Herb and Scarlet steal the crown again and try to get away, but they are frozen by a young Felonious Gru's Freeze Ray. Kevin, Stuart and Bob have found a new master and leave Herb and Scarlet behind after Bob puts his small crown in Scarlet's hand.
After-Credits Scene[]
Scarlet, Herb and the villains appear in the after-credits scene somehow, dancing and singing with the rest of the characters. However, they are scared off by an arriving Tyrannosaurus.
Imprisonment[]
Years later, Herb and Scarlet find themselves as prisoners in the AVL's maximum security prison. The aging couple enjoys Gru and Maxime Le Mal's concert, singing "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" with the rest of all villains (like Vector, El Macho, Balthazar Bratt, Mr. Perkins, Villain Con and Vicious 6).
