Although he looks more like a typical jungle explorer than an espionage agent, I figured that since his entire personality is based around being observant of things through the use of his ever present binoculars, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to have him do some international spying along with his globe trotting adventuring. His initials are inscribed upon his pith helmet, and his face is meant to be representative of the classic yellow smiley that shows surprise or shock which exemplifies his nature of seeking out new discoveries. I also thought that the beard and monocle were nice touches.
