Morose World War I veteran with a bum leg who joins Warbucks’ allies to rescue Annie from the clutches of her kidnapper, Axel. Tuck’s expertise in explosives proves very useful. After Annie’s successful rescue, Warbucks hires Tuck as a globe-trotting employee so long as he marries. Tuck obliges by proposing to Dona Dolores, just as Daddy intended. 1/39-7/39. Dona Dolores. Beautiful Latina woman who pretends to be in the employ of the evil Axel but actually her parents were killed by Axel as part of a foreign revolution Axel engineered. She seeks vengeance for her people. When Axel is defeated, Dona has the option to stay at the hacienda but she opts to marry the brave and loyal Tuck and seek a life elsewhere. 4/39-7/39. Nick Gatt. 11/39-6/40… Sam. 2/41- Bull. Dr. Zee. X Panda. Cigar-smoking midget who is just Annie’s size. 5/42-x/42. Junior Commandos. When Annie leaves the Commandos in January 1943 for a new adventure, she leaves Loretta in change as a colonel and Red Madigan is promoted to a captain. Soon enough they’re at Annie’s side again, helping her in her struggle against the bogus Malcolm Mitt. 6/42-1/43, 3/43-x/43. Malcolm Mitt. Large birded, bald author who owns an American built castle. In March, the German spy posing as Mitt is exposed when the original arrives. 1/43-7/43. Kansk. Initially describing himself only as “an observer” or a “stranger,” Annie’s mysterious defender ultimately identifies himself as Kansk, which Annie notes is the name of a city from Axel’s homeland. It appears that Kansk is a physically adept as well as clever freedom fighter from Russia who is able to reduce his old enemy to a dazed and amnesic state. Thereafter Kansk becomes the leader of what’s left of Axel’s gang, thereafter, spouting conservative vigilante wisdom, a sort of Russian Warbucks without the money. 7/48-8/48. Big Monster. A former gangster turned legit businessman, his adolescent son—nicknamed Little Monster by his peers—takes after his former criminal ways, heading a gang of toughs who harasses Annie and her friends. When Annie is critically injured, it is a blood transfusion from Big Monster that saves her life. 9/48-11/48. Gypsy Belle. Large old gypsy with wild gray hair who lives in a deserted rock quarry and has a crystal ball with which she can catch glimpses of the future. She befriends Annie, giving her a golden whistle and magic gem. When Annie discovers a fortune, Gypsy Belle muses, “There can be danger and pain in wealth, when it is popular to believe wealth is sin. Look out, my little one. Look out!” Annie’s new wealth is subsequently stolen from her. 1/49-4/49. Funjab. Punjab’s somewhat rebellious nephew and eighth grade assistant. Like his uncle, Funjab wears a turban and can apparently teleport himself and others. Annie first meets Funjab (who is roughly her age and height) when he appears rather than Punjab when she blows her magical green dragon whistle. In his second appearance, Funjab transports Seeress Khan-Khan from Baghdad to help Warbucks. In 1955, Funjab assists his uncle and Warbucks in their battle against the Duke de Sangre. Another of Punjab’s nephews, Punjee appears in 1995. 6/49-x/49, 6/50-7/50, 3/55-4/55. Dan Drift. Lazy husband and father who proudly declares that he has “never worked a day in my life. A man who’s good and knows he’s good, never has to worry. No siree! Bound to land on top!” Unlike many such men in the narrative, Dan’s luck continues to hold and his wife Daisy and eight daughters (Lily, Iris, Poppy, Rose, Aster, Lilac, Pansy and Tulip) all manage to live modestly but well. 12/49-4/50. Seeress Khan-Khan. An attractive young woman who wears a white veil and head covering, the Seeress Khan-Khan is one of many allies of Warbucks who possesses mystical abilities. Residing in Baghdad, the Seeress has powers far-exceeding normal hypnotism. She can look in a man’s eyes and know all of his secrets and can compel him to tell them, as she did with the evil Axel. The Seeress can also place a man into a catatonic state. Seeress Khan-Khan is apparently a close associate of Punjab and enjoys a motherly relationship with his nephew, Funjab. Punjab tells Daddy that “she sees even your life as an open book. That is why she works for you, sahib.” 6/50-7/50. The Healer. Benevolent gray-bearded figure who has an apparently mystical ability to heal people. He is also an associate of Punjab. 6/53-7/53. Leprechaun.

Blind novelist who outwits his housekeeper and her daughter’s effort to murder him. 1/58-3/58. T. Tiddlewink Tiger. Large, well-dressed man with a questionable background but who can nonetheless state, “I fear no harm because my heart is pure.” He has a gun concealed within his cane that he is not afraid to use. When Annie asks if he has other hidden weapons, he explains, “A person can know too much! Often in this world, it’s what we can forget that is best for everyone.” 12/58-2/59. Dan Drive and Marlene. Handsome and fit Drive is engaged to the blind Marlene. Both serve as protectors of Annie during one of her many separations from Daddy. In her final appearance, a pregnant Marlene undergoes a procedure that restores her sight. Warbucks is so impressed by Dan that he offers him a partnership and informs him that he will in essence become his adopted son and heir. This is a distinction unmatched by any of Annie’s previous or subsequent benefactors. 9/60-6/61, 12/61-2/62. Elwood. Intelligent and clothed carnival chimpanzee who is Annie’s companion for several months and later is befriended by Lily Hu She. 3/62-10/62, 4/63 Lily Hu She. A self-styled “Oriental mystic” from Singapore, Lily Hu She accepts a job at a carnival at which Annie has been working, only to find it out of business. She takes Annie under her wing and becomes the rare, larger than life female figure in her life. Lily Hu has genuine powers of E.S.P. and can discern further truths through the use of her crystal ball. She also seems to have a special affinity with animals. Among her minor accomplishments is discerning Annie’s until then unknown birthday as February 29th. On one occasion Lily rescues Annie from a swamp and sees to her reunion with Warbucks. She is an attractive woman who wears a long white gown with a floral print on the bosom. Lily admires the character of and appears attracted to Hairy Wolf. 11/62-4/63, 12/63-2/64, 8/66-9/66, 7/68-x/68. Primrose.

Once he secures the vast mineral rights that was trying to cheat him out of, he makes a business contract with Warbucks and becomes a millionaire himself. 5/63-10/63, 1/64. Mr. Omega. Full name, Alpha Omega. Despite his name, this goateed, middle-aged man has no apparent mystical powers. He is, however, very wise and always carries around with him a stack of books and is fond of quoting from them. 7/68-9/68. Om Hi. 5/69, 1/70. Bald Ego.

He is white but sports an over-sized Afro and bookish glasses. 11/71-2/72. “Uncle” Wendell Warbucks. Daddy’s cousin who Annie takes to calling Uncle. The two cousins, Daddy’s “oldest friend” with whom he was raised, schooled and shared hopes and dreams, returns after the two had not seen each other for forty years. Oliver had gone to make his fortune in the world, while Wendell turned inward into the world of books. Only recently has he began to wonder if his life is lacking and he asks if Oliver will let Annie stay with him for awhile so he can show her the wonders of the world. Wendell is an ideological balance to Oliver, believing that money and profits mean nothing if the spirit isn’t renewed. That Oliver might agree with, but Wendell endorses communing with Mother Nature as the ultimate restorer, while Oliver would likely endorse hard work and adventure. 5/72-10/72. Abu Kaf-tan. 12/79-3/80, x/95-x/95. Professor Eon. Brother of Ezra Eon. After a long absence, Annie rescues Eon from captivity where he has been reduced to a monosyllabic state, known only as Fuzzy. 5/81…, 12/82-x/83, x/84-x/84, 2/86-3/86, x/86-x/87, x/89-10/89, 6/95-9/95, 9/99-2/00.
