Biography[]
Not much is known about Rommel beyond the fact that he acts as a guard dog of Carlyle Castle and is likely implied to be one of the animal servants of Prince XII in the past. However, he was trained and abused by Lord Dargis as he wanted him to kill Prince. Dargis proceeded to test this by giving Prince's favourite pillow to Rommel in which the dog aggressively rips it to shreds, much to Dargis' joy. Due to Rommel's violent nature, he was kept on a leash by Dargis until his master used him to kill Prince. However, unknown to Dargis, Rommel was confronted by the Official Feline Protection and played tug-o'-war with Winston using Dargis' new trousers. Having now became obsessed with trousers, Rommel tracked down Dargis and eventually attacked him for his trousers while he was talking to Abbey Westminster on the phone.
Afterwards, Rommel was tasked by Dargis to destroy a painting of the Prince with meat and the dog obeyed. Smithee witnessed Rommel destroying the painting and Dargis sent him on holiday. Rommel is later seen on the lookout for Prince until Garfield, having been found by Smithee earlier and taken to Carlyle Castle after being mistaken for Prince, appears and taunted Rommel to get his attention. However, upon seeing Garfield and mistaking him for Prince due to his very similar appearance, Rommel immediately sees his chance to finally catch the cat and chases after Garfield, only to then be suddenly chased off by the latter riding on a bull named Bolero.
When Dargis was later taunted by Garfield, Prince and the animals after they worked together by setting up an attack to prevent Dargis from becoming king of England, Rommel was among them to help defeat Dargis as he was seen chasing after the latter for his trousers, stopping him from killing both Prince and Garfield. It is unknown what happened to Rommel afterwards since he has now redeemed himself and no longer works for Dargis given how abusive he was, but it is assumed that he was possibly seen celebrating with Garfield, Prince and all the other animals, who are having a pool and barbeque party after Dargis was arrested for his actions.
Personality[]
Rommel once served as a guard dog of Carlyle Castle and one of the animal servants who served Prince XII in the past until he was trained and abused by Dargis to be aggressive and brutal before being forced to kill Prince. However, despite being loyal to Dargis, it is implied that the reason for Rommel's aggressive and vicious behavior is because he went through abuse from Dargis to be obedient to him while it is also implied that he was following orders from the latter out of fear and not loyalty, revealing that Dargis was using him as a tool to get rid of Prince.
Whenever Rommel set eyes on Prince or Garfield (whom he mistakes for Prince due to his very similar appearance), he would chase his target across the castle area to attack him as shown when he mistakes Garfield for Prince. He also has a savage temper when Garfield taunted him to get his attention. However, Rommel was also shown to be incompetent, due to being only trained for the purpose of killing Prince. Upon being given a taste of Dargis' trousers by Winston, he would eventually against his former master and attack him. His obsessions with Dargis' trousers also caused the latter to wear armor to prevent him from being attacked. Despite his violent nature, Rommel is shown to be a coward as he panicked when he is chased away by Garfield riding on Bolero, a bull and one of Prince's animal servants.
