"Wesley Stickler"

- Curiosity is a sickness, and I am the cure!

Wesley Stickler is a science student at Ivy University and a witness in the murder of Pal Meraktis.

Witness
Stickler was a regular at Trucy Wright's magic shows at the Wonder Bar, and he was fascinated by the Magic Panties act, in which she pulled large objects out of a pair of bloomers. In vain attempts to quench his curiosity, he began to steal panties from other people. One day, he stole Wright's panties, but she chased him. He was forced to hide behind a car, stuffing the panties into an exhaust pipe. He later stole a pair belonging to Plum Kitaki, but came across two people in People Park, one threatening the other with a weapon. He threw the panties away and then shouted at Kitaki to stop, causing Meraktis to turn his head and get shot in his right temple. Kitaki ran off, and Stickler ran to a nearby phone to call the police. Stickler would later lie about the location in which he was standing to hide his identity as the "panty-snatcher".

Personality
Stickler is very proud and conceited. He has a tendency to ramble on and on about details (usually of a scientific nature) when given the opportunity to go on a tangent. As someone priding himself on his education, he demonstrates his overlarge vocabulary as often as he can, speaks very quickly, and never uses one word when several will suffice. Those with similar habits are Redd White, Richard Wellington and Wendy Oldbag (although White uses made-up words and does not speak in a very fast manner like Wellington or Oldbag do).

Stickler seems to be the subject of ridicule for his peers; he has been given names such as "Wesley Stinkler" and "Wesley Stickyhands". He later gained the nickname "Wesley Sicko", probably as reference to his panty-snatching (though Stickler misunderstood its meaning as an honorable one).
