Bertha is voiced by Matt Hullum, Lazarus is voiced by Ricco Fajardo, and Trixie is voiced by Anna Hullum. Whereas Killjoy appears as a non-speaking character.
History[]
While not much is known about their past, Twindleweed does reveal that they are ex-bounty hunters, with Lazarus noting that it looks good on a résumé.
In "The Twindleweed Brothers Traveling Circus", Bailey Twindleweed sets up his circus in the middle of the desert, where the Nomad, Skout, and Toth find it and decide to attend the show. Bailey Twindleweed introduces himself, then claims he knows the Nomad is there. The real Nomad tries to disguise his face using cotton candy as a beard, but is picked randomly from the crowd to join Twindleweed in the ring, where he shows of a puppet Nomad that is then thrashed by the Phenomenal Four. However, when Twindleweed forces the Nomad to applaud, he accidentally uses his magic and brings a popcorn bucket to life, tipping off the circus, Skout, and Toth to his being there. He then has the Phenomenal Four beat up and capture the Nomad in the lizard's cage.
Toth and Skout come down and attempt to negotiate a trade in exchange for a reward, but Twindleweed wants the reward all to himself and refuses a trade. As he and the Four are arguing with Toth, the Nomad manages to escape by befriending the lizard. Twindleweed tries to get the Phenomenal Four to capture him again, but he outsmarts them and defeats them all, launching them far into the sky. Toth and Twindlewood both try to capture him, but the Nomad notices money under Twindleweed's top hat. When the Phenomenal Four land, he brings the hat to life and makes it jump off of Twindleweed's head, revealing a stash of money; profits from the circus that he had been hiding so he did not have to share with his performers. Angrily, they grab him and stuff him into a canon and fire him into the sky. The Phenomenal Four tell Toth and Skout they do not want the Nomad anymore, but the last canon firing brings the tent down on top of them.
Later, in "End of the Line", two men are talking about how the Nomad "bankrupted a traveling circus".

Lazarus[]
Lazarus the Lizard Tamer is a man wielding a long whip and chair, which he will use to fight with.

Trivia[]
- It is possible that they were once Twindleweed's Phenomenal Five, as Twindleweed references and pays respect to Harry the Human Cannonball, a deceased member of the circus.
