Wendell is a Human Valley resident and a recurring character in the Bone series. Wendell is a farmer from Barrelhaven a close friend of Lucius and one of the people Phoney Bone swindled during the cow race. Throughout the story, he is a recurring antagonistic figure for the Bones (Phoney Especially) as he flops from being an ally four our cast to being an enemy. To an extent, Wendell acts as the representative for the villagers in Barrelhaven as he's typically the first to react when something happens and acts as the de-facto leader when Lucius isn't around.

Personality-wise Wendell is very brave as he is willing to stand up for his friends and has proven to be loyal, but he's also easily angered. Whenever trouble starts he is quick to pin the blame on someone else and is very headstrong about his own beliefs and values until he's proven wrong.

 Another way of describing him is that he's a hot-headed idiot with his heart in the right place as he strives to do the right thing, but is often confused about how to do it.
