| ~ Number Two |
Number Two is the secondary antagonist of the Austin Powers trilogy.
He is Dr. Evil's right-hand man. It is revealed that he and Dr. Evil met in school and immediately became friends.

Personality[]
Unlike Dr. Evil, who wants to take over the world, Number Two is mainly concerned with business and making money. In fact, at the beginning of each movie, he usually has some big investment that makes Dr. Evil and his cohorts rich.
He also tries to convince Dr. Evil to use his resources to make money; for example, he once suggested that Dr. Evil should use his time machine to go back in time to play the stock market. Dr. Evil usually rejects Number Two's ideas, however, in favor of some impractical scheme to take over the world.
In the second movie, Austin Powers in Goldmember, Number Two gets Dr. Evil's company invested in Starbucks, which makes them very rich. He even gets a young assistant who he calls Number Three (The Mole). However, Number Three later reveals himself to be a spy for Austin Powers. Whenever Dr. Evil starts laughing maniacally, Number Two is always the first one of his accomplices to laugh with him.
