Biography
Ronald Multon is an arrogant individual who undergoes a fake French alias and accent. He hates when people do not say his (fake) name correctly, with the rolling of the “R.” When he visited Racer Academy, he put on a visual presentation as an introduction to who he is. He is then called out by Conor for being a liar and a fake while reminding him that they have known each other for years. Ronald does not give into Conor’s outburst and continues to egg him on by pretending to not know him.

According to Conor, Ronald was just an ordinary kid who loved cars, but changed when he kept losing to Conor in designer competitions. From then on, Ronald became a lot more competitive and developed a smug persona. Instead of resorting to original ideas, Ronald just stole Conor’s (building a robotic baboon named Mitch Mitch). He also sabotaged Conor’s car in a national student design competition and took his idea to win the event, becoming the “youngest winner ever.”

Ronald built the Mach 60 as a way to convey his “superior” designing skills and even challenged Speed to see which car would perform better. The Mach 6 was clearly the superior car, but only lost the final event (which determined the winner) because Ronald secretly disconnected the Mach 6’s break lines.

When Conor tricked Ronald into recording his confession of sabotaging the Mach 6, he was promptly apprehended by the police for questioning.

Description
Ronald is a light skinned individual with blonde hair. He wears glasses, an orange turtleneck, and green pants.
