Pinstripe is loyal to his creator, Neo Cortex, considering him "The Don of Doctors". People often describe him as "extremely dangerous". Pinstripe is almost never seen without his Tommy gun and tends to fire it recklessly. When he first encountered Crash Bandicoot, one of his enemies, he opened fire on him in his office. He accidentally shoots out the power plant generator in the back upon defeat. Also, after racing, Pinstripe fires his gun on the podium in celebration when he wins a race. He also cradles his gun for comfort when defeated. After becoming a used car salesman, he used his gun to intimidate customers into purchasing a car quickly. He is quick to become frustrated and strike the gun when it jams. Pinstripe is sometimes portrayed as ambitious and successful in business.

Lore: Pinstripe was created as one of Neo Cortex's minions. Put off by the apparent disloyalty of the Komodo Brothers, Cortex and N. Brio subjected a striped potoroo to the Evolvo-Ray and Cortex Vortex. Pinstripe's treatment consisted of exposure to mafia movies such as The Godfather in order to make him a loyal soldier. Considering Cortex to be his don, Pinstripe immediately took over operations of his private power station, replacing its workers with his own potoroo mafia. He's also considering hiring another of Cortex's creations, Koala Kong, as his bodyguard. Pinstripe saw the Komodo Brothers as a rival family and advised Cortex against trusting them, now seeing the Komodo Dragons as, in fact, his rivals. Pinstripe's position has then turned to the CEO of Cortex Power & Gas Co.

Relationships: As a creation of Dr. Neo Cortex and Dr. N. Brio, those are the two people who Pinstripe first met, or at least after he turned into a mob boss, and he seems to respect them out of duty and gratitude, especially Cortex, as Pinstripe is utterly and stubbornly loyal towards him, almost considering him his superior by the fact of being given an oportunity of having 'a new life'. During his life while serving and helping his don, (a.k.a Dr. Cortex), he's met another creations of him tor around the latter's castle, for example, he knows about a short, blue, mentally unstable kangaroo called Ripper Roo, Pinstripe thinks that he's a bit too crazy, but secretly likes his behavior either way, this with more people around the abode, he had the time to talk to the rest of the people in there, like Koala Kong, a tall and overly-buff koala who is obsessed with looking good and doing exercises, the mob boss (Pinstripe) finds him funny, but also useful, wanting him to join his potoroo mafia and to have the koala as his personal bodyguard due to the latter's strenght. He's talked to a dingo called Dingodile, the potoroo not having a strong opinion about him, finding him cool overall, there's just one thing Pinstripe hates algo the Australian dingo, his cooking skills, they are just awful, the potoroo is a bit of a picky eater after all. He knows about one of Don Doctor's a.k.a Dr. Cortex), creations, a tasmanian tiger called Tiny, but he doesn't seem to care about him, much, finding him a bit too loud and annoying overall, yet doesn't seem to dislike him, however, he does hate someone around Cortex's Castle... the Komodo Brothers, a pair of Komodo Dragons who are totally unloyal towards the doctors Cortex and Brio unlike him, much to his annoyance and disappointment, these two called Joe and Moe, Pinstripe thinks it's essencial to treat the Doctor's properly, and the reptiles disagreeing with him made the potoroo consider them as enemies, to the point of telling his don to not lower his guard around them in case the Komodo Brothers betray them all. Pinstripe has been told by Dr. Cortex that their main archenemy is called Crash Bandicoot and must be exterminated at all costs in order for the doctor to continue with his evil plans, the potoroo complying without doubt, now hating him and supposedly considering how to get rid of the marsupial, he's been told afterwards that Crash had a girlfriend, called Tawna Bandicoot, who is now his ex, and Pinstripe seems to be... a little bit intrigued by her suggestive appearance, almost wanting to become friends with her. He works as the CEO of Cortex Power & Gas Co as the boss from the whole place, having various potoroo thugs working for him, called Fat and Slim, he seems to like them both in his own, strange way, considering them both hardworking and useful.
