Character Information
|
Groundskeeper Willie, alias G.K. Willington, is the groundskeeper of Springfield Elementary School. Scottish by ancestry, Willie's job is to supervise the children of the School during recess, and clean the halls. He is recognizable with his red hair and Scottish accent. He is often either a formidable enemy or an invaluable ally to Bart and Lisa.
The Groundskeeper, however, is usually a foe. He once befriended Milhouse, then stole his glasses and made fun of him behind his back. He is also often seen yelling at the kids for doing something minor. He often talks about his Scottish past before he came to Springfield, and actually claims to be from many towns in Scotland, including Glasgow, Loch Ness and North Kiltown.
It seems Willie is homeless and mentally insane, as Skinner hired him after he escaped from an asylum. Nevertheless, Willie gets the job done, whether it may be crawling through vents to retrieve Santa's Little Helper or watching back school videa tapes for Lisa's benefit.
