'''Charles Montgomery Burns ''', also known as '''C.M Burns''', '''Mr. Burns''', '''Monty''', or simply '''Burns''', (born September 15) is viewed as an antagonist to many, if not all, of the inhabitants of Springfield.

Burns frequently orders his aide, [[Waylon Smithers]], to "[[Release the Hounds!|release the hounds]]," so as to let his vicious guard dogs attack any intruders, enemies or even invited guests. Mr. Burns is Springfield's richest and most powerful citizen. His net worth has been stated to be in the billion-dollar range, although at one point it slipped to "only" $996 million, which led to his being demoted from Billionaire Camp to Millionaire Camp. Burns uses his power and wealth to do whatever he wants, usually without regard for consequences and without interference from the authorities.

Mr. Burns embodies a number of stereotypes about Corporate America, as he has an unquenchable desire to increase his own wealth and power. Burns also embodies the stereotype of a manager by forgetting his employees' names (especially Homer's, despite it appearing that they interact more than Burns does with most of his employees), though this can be attributed to his senility. Burns is also unconcerned for their safety and well-being. His aspirations to apply obsolete technology to everyday life or references to Victorian-era people or places provide a common source of humour on the show. Recently, he has become less evil and more eccentric.
