The maintenance man for Clamp Center tinkers with odd jobs.
History[]
Gremlins 2: The New Batch[]
The maintenance man is seen trying to repair a very leaky faucet while talking to himself as Gizmo, who had gotten out of the drawer he was hiding inside, watched. Eventually a stream of water from the faucet hit Billy's drawing board and trickled down onto Gizmo, who then started to multiply, spawning The New Batch of mogwai. While three of the newly born mogwai, Mohawk, George and Lenny, prepare to advanced on Gizmo, the unknowing maintenance man has enough of the leaky faucet, and makes a phone call before leaving. Unbeknownst to him, the three mogwai hitch a ride on the maintenance cart after throwing Gizmo inside a ventilation shaft and closing it. The next day, he and other people escaped this building because of a fire alarm Kate pulled it because of the wreak havoc the gremlins caused.
