He appears to be from London, England, talking in an English accent and wearing a blue baseball cap with a [[Rare]] logo in the original, then a [[Nintendo]] logo, due to Rare's move to [[wikipedia:Microsoft|Microsoft]].

[[Wizpig]] later invades the island, prompting Timber to call upon the help of his friends who take on Wizpig's challenge to race for the island. He's a middleweight racer who rides green vehicles with average speed, acceleration, and handling.
