Senor Cardgage first appeared in the Strong Bad Email kind of cool. He is apparently the creepy guy that lived down the street from The Brothers Strong when they were little, whose extreme sketchiness gave Strong Sad nightmares. He now runs his own mortgage business as well as a used car dealership, in addition to having a job as an usher. His name is pronounced "Seh-nor", not "Seh-nyor", because his name is spelled with an N rather than an Ñ. He is apparently ambidextrous.
Some of his traits include:
- Suspiciously coming out of bushes and shrubs just as you walk by.
- Pronouncing words incorrectly (for example, he pronounces the word "loans", "lawns").
- Always carrying an old plastic Aldi grocery bag of mysterious contents.
- Loudly eating melty chocolate bars while standing too close to you in lines.
- Smelling like pea soup (according to Homestar Runner).
- Speaking in phrases that are described by Strong Bad as "almost one word and not quite another," such as "excardon me" and "exobably not".
- "Calling at you as if you were a lady," regardless of your gender.
Strong Bad seems to look up to Senor Cardgage as sort of an idol or a father figure. He is constantly heard remarking on how cool Senor Cardgage is, and wishes he could be that cool. In Senorial Day, he asks Senor to autograph his football, and then throw it to him. In alternate universe, he says that his life is complete after going on a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage, and expresses joy at the thought of Senor's adopting him. In the movies, he sees Senor as an usher, and tells The Cheat that "someday [he's] going to be the one tearing tickets and telling folks that forty-twone will be on their lest."
Even though he has a car dealership and a mortgage company, his residence is unknown. It is suggested in Senorial Day and candy product that he is homeless, as he is shown in an alleyway sleeping in a sleeping bag and using his Aldi bag as a pillow, although in the email kind of cool Strong Bad implied that he lives behind a bush. Strong Sad said that Senor Cardgage lived down the street when they were little, implying he had a house at one point; however, there is no proof of this or of his current residence, if any. Although it is implied that he is poor, he offers to buy Strong Sad a can of peas at Strong Bad's garage sale for $99, and then proceeds to walk away with it, supposedly paying, even though he is never seen to do so.
When Strong Bad is asked what he would be like if he was not stylish and buff in the email "kind of cool", he describes "Creepy Comb-Over Story Strong Bad" who is just like Senor Cardgage. Both are, at least to Strong Bad, "so cool, you don't even know [that they are] cool".
As shown in a commercial in theme song, Senor Cardgage got fourteen degrees in the CGNU Online E-niversity during his lunch "take", including one that lets him "legally prescribe marriages in the state of Kansattica". His "Left Name" is Tremendous Savings.
It is often debated whether Senor Cardgage and "Creepy Comb-Over Story Strong Bad" are the same person or not, but it is notable that during the "Sketchbook" extra on the strongbad_email.exe DVD, The Brothers Chaps refer to this character as Senor Cardgage, and during the commentary for garage sale, they remark, "Ah, good ol' Senor Cardgage. I guess he's a real character now." Also, in the Toons Menu, the description for Senor Mortgage reads "Wait. Is Senor Cardgage real?!"
