## Biography

### **The Nut Job**

Raccoon is first seen leading his group, convincing them to bring more food to store for the winter inside a massive tree in the park. There is only one animal Raccoon despises, and that's Surly, a (former) very selfish squirrel whose thieving qualities make him an outcast. When Surly tries to rob a nut cart, he makes a mistake of launching it into the tree, blowing it up and setting it ablaze. Raccoon exiles him from the park, forcing him to live in the city.

Later, Raccoon sends Andie, and a dimwitted squirrel, Grayson, to find food, only to have them get separated. But Raccoon doesn't stop there. His true colors are revealed when he sends Mole and Cardinal assistant to sabotage a raid planned out by Surly. Precious, a guard dog owned by King, catches Mole, who reveals Raccoon's evil plan.

After Surly escapes from thugs, he is captured by Street Rats, who are working for Raccoon. Raccoon tells Surly his intentions of hurting the other animals. Surly escapes and saves the animals. When they escape in a truck driven by the robbers, Raccoon lies to them about Surly betraying them and locks them up, although Surly and Grayson bust them out later on.

Raccoon tries to throw Surly off, but Mole turns against him. There is a huge chase through the street, which results in Surly landing on a log and Raccoon trying to kill him. The two of them fought as the log began to break. The animals arrive to rescue Surly, who very selflessly sacrifices himself by letting go of the log. The two of them go over a waterfall, killing Raccoon and Surly apparently. After a while, Surly survives the fall. With Raccoon finally ousted, the animals manage to rebuild their home while King and his gang get arrested for their crimes.

A mid-credits scene reveals that Raccoon and Cardinal survived and were drifted out to sea, but sharks now surround them.

### **The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature**

It is revealed that Raccoon is still alive and he is swimming back home to get revenge on Surly for defeating him, with the sharks pursuing him. It's currently unknown if he actually succeeded in coming back on land and have his opportunity to have his revenge on Surly, or if he got eaten by the sharks.

## Relationships

### Cardinal

Cardinal is Raccoon's most loyal henchman. He serves as a drone for him as he uses him to control Surly during the first film and to spy other animals. Raccoon seems to sincerely like him as he asked him to remain with him when he was surrounded by sharks.

### Mole

Mole was initially loyal to Raccoon despite him abusing him and not caring about his well being. However when he betrays him he revealed everything he did and is one of the animals that wants to banish Raccoon from the park.

### Surly

Surly and Raccoon were rivals long before the events of the first film. It's unknown how their hatred towards each other started but it's likely that Surly simply knew Raccoon's true nature and didn't want to respect his authority which could suggest that he knew before he got elected the leader of the park. Surly gates Raccoon and defines him a liar while Raccoon believes him to be just a thief. When he tries to help the park, Raccoon tries to kill him and the other animals to not have testimonies, he also seemed to believe that Surly had to have a selfish reason to help the animals and that he could not be able to care about someone else but himself. After Surly defeated him, Raccoon hatred towards him probably grew more as he wanted to have revenge on the rival.

## Trivia

* Raccoon's regime is very similar to that of the Soviet Union under false communist rule.
