Dogbert is a megalomaniac intellectual dog, planning to one day conquer the world. She believes it is because she is female, though in reality it is likely because she has a quick, often violent temper, sometimes putting her lethal "Fist of Death" to use, even with the Pointy-Haired Boss.ĭilbert's anthropomorphic pet dog is the smartest dog on Earth. She is often frustrated at her work because she does not get proper recognition. He has openly admitted that all his good ideas are about coffee, that sometimes include sabotaging rival companies coffee so they only have decaf. Although his relationship with Alice is often antagonistic and Dilbert occasionally denies being his friend, their actions show at least a certain acceptance of him. Despite these personality traits, Wally is accepted as part of Dilbert, Ted, Alice, and Asok's clique. Adams has said that this inspired the basic laziness and amorality of Wally's character. This had the effect of causing this man-whom Adams describes as "one of the more brilliant people I've met"-to work hard at being incompetent, rude, and generally poor at his job to qualify for the buy-out program. Adams has stated that Wally was based on a Pacific Bell coworker of his who was interested in a generous employee buy-out program-for the company's worst employees. Squat and balding, Wally is almost invariably portrayed wearing a short sleeved dress shirt and tie. Like the Pointy-Haired Boss, Wally is utterly lacking in ethics and will take advantage of any situation to maximize his personal gain while doing the least possible amount of honest work. He is even more socially inept than Dilbert (though far less self-aware of the fact), and references to his lack of personal hygiene are not uncommon. He often carries a cup of coffee, calmly sipping from it even in the midst of chaos or office-shaking revelations.

He hates work and avoids it whenever he can. One of the oldest engineers, Wally was originally a worker trying to get fired to get a severance package. His brother is a demon named "Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light", and according to Adams, the pointy hair is intended to remind one of devil's horns. His utter lack of consistent business ethics, however, is perfectly consistent. His level of intelligence varies from near-vegetative to perceptive and clever, depending on the strip's comic needs.

Adams himself wrote that "He's not sadistic, just uncaring". The Boss treats his employees alternately with enthusiasm or neglect he often uses them to his own ends regardless of the consequences to them. He does not understand technical issues but always tries to disguise this, usually by using buzzwords he also does not understand. He is hopelessly incompetent at management, and often tries to compensate for his lack of skills with countless group therapy sessions and business strategies which usually never bear fruit. First mentioned on 20 April 1989, he was depicted as a stereotypical late-middle-aged balding middle manager with jowls it was not until 21 October 1991 that he developed his signature "pointy hair" and the jowls disappeared. Scott Adams states that he never named him so that people can imagine him to be their boss. The oblivious manager of Dilbert and the other engineers, and sometimes the main antagonist of the strip his real name is never mentioned. He had a girlfriend named Liz for a little over two years, but she started dating other men, stating that she would still date Dilbert, but date other men at the same time.

Dilbert loves computers and technology and will spend much of his free time playing with such things. While he is frequently seen having dates with eligible women, his dates almost invariably end in disaster, usually in surreal and bizarre ways. Neither attractive nor blessed with tremendous social graces, Dilbert is capable, but ignored at work and struggles with his romantic life. Dilbert received his master's degree in electrical engineering from MIT he understands engineering well and has good ideas, but has a poor social life. Prior to October 2014, he was usually wearing a white dress shirt, black trousers and a red-and-black striped tie that inexplicably curves upward since then, he has worn a red polo shirt with a name badge on a lanyard around his neck.

The main character in the strip, Dilbert is a stereotypical technically-minded single male.
