George Bluth Sr. is the patriarch of the dysfunctional Bluth family and Bluth Company. After years of creative accounting at the home building company, George is investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and goes to prison. He tells Michael he might also be guilty of light treason. He appoints his wife, Lucille, the new CEO, passing over his son, Michael, the only one with a head for business.When Michael ends up having to step in to run things anyway, his father constantly tries to undermine him, going so far as to hire an office surrogate, Larry, to stand in for him at work. He frequently pits his children, particularly Michael and G.O.B., against each other. He does not seem to particularly like any of his children.George doesn't respect G.O.B.'s magic career and often asks him to do reckless or dangerous tasks, knowing he'll obey because he wants to prove himself. He respects Michael's business abilities but has never told him so, as a motivation technique. He is proud of his daughter Lindsay's looks, but has never thought of her as having any other respectable qualities. He deeply dislikes Buster for reasons Buster learns later.While George is incarcerated, Lucille accidentally adopt a young Korean boy whose name she misinterprets as Annyong. He appears to love (or at least fear) his wife, but has also secretly been having an affair with his unstable, manipulative secretary, Kitty.He makes the most of his time in prison, making friends with his fellow inmates and acting like he owns the place.Background: He has a twin brother named Oscar, whom he hates, mostly because Oscar has hair. George is also the inventor of the Cornballer, a disastrous food preparation product designed to make fried corn balls that usually splatters the user with hot oil. He is the founder of Bluth's Frozen Banana Stand, an idea he stole from a Korean immigrant in 1953. He has two religious awakenings of different faiths. Show less «
