Not much is known about him except that he has quite a reputation within Team Rocket. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} all recognize him and immediately start kowtowing shamelessly. | Not much is known about him except that he has quite a reputation within Team Rocket.

Although the Iron Masked Marauder dislikes his boss, he sees other Rockets as helpers to his cause, and is quick to ally with Jessie, James and Meowth for the purpose of helping him carry out his plans and spreading the word about his new found power. | Although the Iron Masked Marauder dislikes his boss, he sees other Rockets as helpers to his cause, and is quick to ally with Jessie, James and Meowth for the purpose of helping him carry out his plans and spreading the word about his new found power. | ||
==Character== | |||
The Iron-Masked Marauder is possibly one of the few characters in the whole history of Pokémon who appears to be purely evil with absolutely no redeeming qualities at all; he is shown to be a malicious psychopath and is also megalomaniacal, dishonest, ruthless, cruel, and above all: egocentric. He values his own life above that of others, whether out of cowardice or selfishness, and has no qualms about harming others, be it humans or Pokémon, for the sake of reaching his own goals. | |||
The Iron-Masked Marauder is ambitious — although he makes pretense of capturing {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} to present it to {{an|Giovanni}}, his true intentions are to use its power to overthrow his boss and rule Team Rocket himself. | |||

The Iron-Masked Marauder is skilled at hand-to-hand combat, but does not have the best balance. His primary combat relies on Pokémon that are brainwashed by his [[Dark Ball]]s. The origin and technology behind these Dark Balls is unknown; they may not be Rocket technology because he is the only one seen using them. The only quality known about Dark Balls is that they make the target Pokémon extremely loyal to the user, to the point of forgetting itself and attacking without regard to previous friendships and loyalties. | The Iron-Masked Marauder is skilled at hand-to-hand combat, but does not have the best balance.
