Relationships
Elves
Before the Elves were Elves, they were North's fellow bandits, who fell prey to the wiles of the Spirit of the Forest and were turned to stone creatures for their greed. When they were later on revived, they stayed and were transformed as Elves became North's helpers.
The Elves don't actually make North's toys, but they receive the credit for it. They just play with the toys as market testing to see if they're fun or not. If they're not doing that, they have custodial duties such as sweeping and mopping. They also do party decorations and caroling.[2]
Jack Frost
Added by The RushJack: Why me?
North: You have something very special inside, and we can't do it without you.
Jack and North are friendly towards each other possibly due to the fact they both (on different levels) represent Christmas. Out of all the Guardians, North shows the most faith in Jack, teaching him about what every Guardian must discover for him or herself, their center.
Jack respects North the most out of the Guardians and North has even shown himself to be something of a father-figure to the trickster.
Yetis
The Yetis are North's real toymakers, contrary to popular belief that the Elves are responsible.
Quotes
- My fellow Guardians, it is our job to watch over the children of the world, and keep them safe.

Trivia
- William Joyce was inspired by Sean Connery's portrayal of James Bond for North's character, saying: "There's no way you can be Santa and not have extraordinary technology at your disposal," [3] and "I always saw Sean Connery as Santa Claus. He's got to have a little of James Bond in him."[4]
- North's sleigh is an automated carriage pulled by huge reindeer.[5] The artists designed it to be a cross between a snowmobile and an F-14 jet fighter.[citation needed]
- North knows almost all bug languages, as well as speaks fluent hamster and leech. According to him, speaking with children's pets is how he knows which children go on the naughty or nice list. [2]
- He loves the sound of some Irish accents, but sometimes has trouble understanding them and needs subtitles if he's watching a movie. (He also needs subtitles to watch the Jersey Shore kids.)[2]
- If he'd never become a Guardian, North would have liked to get involved either with gardening, landscape architecture, social work, or maybe directing feature films. No directing TV, no retail, and no politics -- the latter two being too pushy in his opinion.[2]
