| ~ Burton to Jimmy when the school gym was burning. |
Mr. Burton is a supporting antagonist in the 2006 video game Bully.
A harsh and disciplinarian official, he serves as the gym teacher of Bullworth Academy, who has a drill sergeant-like approach to teaching gym, constantly behaving roughly to his students to train them more effectively. On the other hand, it is later revealed that he has perverted intentions towards girl students, including Zoe Taylor, who he has expelled for complaining about Burton.
He was voiced by Michael Boyle.
Appearance[]
Mr. Burton has the frame of an ageing athlete, still muscular but with a gut. He is bald on top but has a horseshoe of red hair, along with a red moustache.
His character art shows him as having chest hair. He normally wears a white tank top and blue gym shorts with white trim, and a navy blue track suit with white trim in the winter. He wears a whistle on a string around his neck, and has a watch on his right wrist.
Background[]
Mr. Burton aspired to play professional American football but was not picked, so he became a gym teacher at Bullworth Acadamy. He often attributes this to an arthritic or damaged knee. He is generally furious and aggressive, and speaks loudly the majority of the time.
Burton was raised in a difficult environment. His father used to beat him when he was a kid, and he was hazed horribly in college. He now teaches gym in a drill instructor-like manner. He believes that suffering develops character, hence he encourages bullying to achieve this goal. He is also a bully towards students. He summons Pedro to his office to rage at him, and he taunts Pete, threatening to have the gym class beat him up the following day, according to unused content discovered in the game files.
Burton is often known to be a compulsive pervert. He bemoans the dearth of attractive women at Bullworth and occasionally boasts about how much ladies like him, despite the fact that they don't. He shows excessive sexual interest in older Bullworth girls, notably Zoe Taylor, who was expelled after complaining about Burton. Burton's gym class, according to Angie, should be avoided because "he's just not kind." He also reads filthy periodicals and appears to have an unhealthy fascination with filthy underwear.
The Bullworth Bullhorns, his high school football team, is his pride and delight, albeit in a more obsessive way. He is heavily hinted to be giving the team's students steroids.
Burton maintains his job, according to Osbourne, since he has information on Dr. Crabblesnitch.
Mr. Burton's alpha version was called "Neil" and featured a slightly bent back. The shop teacher was then given the name Neil.
"Degenerate", "girl", and "lady" are his favorite insults.
