Horace Schemer

Horace Schemer, or Schemer, which is what he's called by his friends, is one of the main characters in Shining Time Station. The show on PBS that brought Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends in the United States. He runs the station's arcade center, and occasionally serves as the main antagonist of the series, because he loves to make money, and protect it, and sometimes would destroy the station, so he could gain more, mostly nickels. Shemer also loves to hoodwink the children, and trick other passengers for their money, including his friends. He is very selfish, and also cares not only about nickels, but also about himself, thinking everyone should take care, and spend more time with him, and Schemer still acts like a child, and depends on his mother, whom he still calls "mommy", and sleeps with his stuffed pig, and people take care of him, and cries like a baby. Schemer is also one of the few characters that don't know about Mr. Conductor, and because of this, he thinks the station is haunted, and Mr. Conductor would play tricks on him to teach him a lesson. He can be very conceited and arrogant. But does show a bit of genorsity from time-to-time. Despite being greedy, arrogant, and mischievous, end the end, he learns to the right thing, wether it be the easy way or the hard way.
