Flynn Rider

Eugene Fitzherbert, or better known as Flynn Rider, is the deuteragonist of Disney's franchise.
He was once charming & daring thief as well as the most wanted bandit in the seven kingdoms who dreamt of gaining as many riches as possible. However his life changed forever when he accidentally found the long-lost princess of Corona Rapunzel with a really long of blonde hair, who while at first tried to get rid of her, eventually fell genuinely in love with her & made him change his thieving ways altogether, gaining an even better life than had before.
He is voiced by , who also portrayed Shazam in Shazam! and its 2023 sequel, Rocky Rhodes in Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, Chuck Bartowski in Chuck, Toby Seville from Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, Arcade Gannon in Fallout: New Vegas, and Harold in Harold and the Purple Crayon.
==Character outline==
Flynn Rider is a career thief on the run for stealing the missing Princess Rapunzel's tiara, who finds himself trying to hide out in her tower. Rapunzel, with no previous knowledge of the outside world, convinces him to accompany her to see the lanterns.
==Personality==
At first Flynn comes off as cocky, arrogant and a little bit self-absorbed. He’s overly concerned about money, wealth and the tiara he wishes to regain from Rapunzel. However, when one gets to know him, he is sensitive, laid-back and good-hearted. As an experienced thief, he is skilled in escaping the authorities, hiding out and stealing right from under people's noses. Thus, he is agile, strong and quick-witted. Flynn's talents also include fencing, horseback riding, scaling and maneuvering over high walls and towers and "superhuman good looks", which unfortunately have no effect on Rapunzel.
For the first part of the film, he is solely focused on thieving and increasing his personal bank, aspiring to bask in his wealth one day own his own private island. However, as he begins to fall in love with Rapunzel, he transforms into a more compassionate, chivalrous and trustworthy person, and changes his priorities. He even willingly gives the tiara to the Stabbington Brothers to keep them off their back (although he never quite loses his initial cockiness and tendency to cause mischief). Flynn loses sight of the importance of becoming rich as he fights to be with Rapunzel.
By the end of the film, Flynn's love for her has grown to the point where he is willing to die so that she can be free. In the ending narration, he claims to have given up thieving. He used to have a rivalry with Maximus, the Captain of the Guard's horse. However, as the film progresses, they become loyal and protective towards one another.
==Physical appearance==
Flynn is of average height and build with fair skin, short dark brown hair, a scruffy goatee and light brown eyes. In response to a fan on a Tangled fanblog, Flynn's animators have said that he's 26.
==Trivia==
*A running gag in the franchise is that in all of his wanted poster, his nose drawn terribly, which is something he is completely angry about.
*His and Rapunzel's duet, "I See the Light" is very similar to Aladdin and Jasmine's duet, "A Whole New World" from Disney's Aladdin as well as Kayley and Garrett's duet, "Looking Through Your Eyes" from Quest for Camelot.
*The name "Eugene" is from the Greek Ευγένιος, which means "well-born"; "Fitzherbert" is a mix of Old French "fitz" or "filz" and Old Germanic "Her(i)bert" and would mean something like "son of the shining" (or "famous") "lord" (or "army").
*Every time Eugene is effected by the decay incantation, he holds his stomach in the same place Mother Gothel stabbed him in the movie.
*Eugene and Rapunzel made a cameo appearance in the first Frozen film, which lead to many fans to believe that Rapunzel was related to Anna and Elsa, and that Anna and Elsa's parents were sailing off to attend Eugene and Rapunzel's wedding when their ship went down. However, this theory was proven to be untrue in Frozen II, where it showed the true reason behind the parents' journey and deaths.
