Meet John's arch-nemesis, the infamous Balthazar McSnively, a master of evil schemes and dastardly plans.

Balthazar has been foiled at every turn by John's bravery and quick thinking, but our nemesis remains determined to take down our hero once and for all.

Some of Balthazar's most infamous plans include:

• The Great Cheese Scheme: Balthazar attempted to replace all the world's cheese with an inferior, tasteless alternative.
• The Robo-Apocalypse: Balthazar built an army of killer robots to take over the world, but John's timely intervention saved the day.
• The Inflatable Unicorn Conspiracy: Balthazar sought to replace the world's money with inflatable unicorn-shaped tokens, but John's team of experts debunked the plot.

Stay vigilant, citizens! Balthazar McSnively is always plotting, but we have faith in our hero John to keep him at bay.
