In the actual game: The Inspector is the player character who works as an immigration inspector for the Ministry of Admission of Arstotzka.

His portrayal in the Abridged Series: The Inspector simply does not care about most things around him. He hates his job, he especially hates his supervisor Dimitri, and he hates most people coming in and out the border. The Inspector frequently tries to get out of work, and often takes bribes and finds the easy solution to most problems he faces. The Abridged Series is structured through a diary the Inspector kept of his month working at the border "You guessed it we're diary of a wimpy kidding up this shit, I've got a book full of notes with all the wacky antics that happened at Grestin Border checkpoint. "  So quite a few of his lines are narration.
