He has a 3rd eye on his forehead, The White of it's eye is Purple and has a Feline Pupil. he has Many ear Piercings, and wears Rectangular Glasses, with no top, and a Wrist watch Carlos Gave him. Cecil has a strange sense of fashion in the context of our world, however it is not indicated that his clothing choices are odd in Night Vale. Cecil wore furry pants and his best tunic to his first date with Carlos. A cummerbund and capri pants to work for professionalism. Changed from jeans to a professional radio hosting unitard. He wore yellow sponge clogs, cat ears, and tights; a black plastic poncho, cat ears, and orange galoshes during the events of the episode 72. To his wedding, Cecil wore a black tuxedo and white bow tie, open-toed polished black shoes, a burgundy velvet cape, earrings made from repurposed car keys, and a top hat with furry tassels hanging from the brim. In episode 69, Cecil wore a honeycomb hat, a Hawaiian shirt, and leather pants to sleep and then to the radio station, which was fashionable enough to be saved from the Sphere, which would take all unfashionable people. Cecil is generally friends and well acquainted with the people of Night Vale. Although he doesn't seem aware of it, he is quite possibly one of the town's most prominent citizens. Despite being quite friendly, he tends to hold grudges, for example, he had a grudge against Steve Carlsberg since his sister married him and, a grudge against Telly for cutting Carlos' hair. He is described by both Jackie Fierro and Carlos as being overenthusiastic about most things. He struggles with impulse control, but knows this. While he comes across as a decent, kind, and ethical person, and sees himself as such, calling himself "innocent and kind," he is comfortable with many horrific things in cooperation with the authorities, such as legalized murder. This doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary for Night Vale citizens. While Cecil is generally quite cheerful, he is also often somber, and can switch between the two quite quickly. Additionally, he often experiences memory loss and dissociation, some of which is connected to supernatural happenings, such as possession. He is very fond and proud of Night Vale, despite its horrors, many of which he has experienced firsthand, and during uncertain and/or dangerous times can often be found in his booth providing updates and comfort as he can. Though he is quick to praise the City Council, the Sheriff's Secret Police, and their draconian policies, his views on many social issues are surprisingly tolerant for a resident of a police state, and he even occasionally calls out the town's crooked politicians on air, despite the risk of retaliation. Occasionally he criticizes one of these bodies, and he is the only Night Vale citizen, excluding Old Woman Josie, to publicly acknowledge the existence of angels. While he's rarely actively malicious, he treats his interns dismissively and either doesn't notice or doesn't care about the intern death toll, sounding genuinely hurt and/or offended at the suggestion that something is wrong with his management style. The show also repeatedly shows him willing to use his professional reach and influence for personal reasons: he set the town against Telly the Barber for the crime of cutting Carlos' hair, makes interns copyedit his fanfiction and manage his social media accounts, and helped his niece break into City Hall. He seems to be oblivious to the impact of those actions, however. He has a Sister Abby is Cecil's sister, Steve Carlsberg's wife, and Janice's mother. Cecil and Abby had a strained relationship, due to Cecil and Abby's mother disappearing when Cecil was 14, causing Abby to have to drop out of college to take care of Cecil. Abby resented Cecil for this, and Cecil resented Abby in turn. When their mother returned, they started to patch thing up, but are not exceptionally close, though they do love each other. Janice Palmer is Cecil's niece. He loves her and is very supportive of her, but took Steve Carlsberg's role as her and Abby's provider instead of him personally. Steve Carlberg is Cecil's brother in law. He hated Steve Carlsberg for taking the role of provider for Abby and Janice away from him, but came to respect and view him as a friend after Steve called him out for being rude in episode 110. After episode 110, they became close friends, however Steve is uncomfortable with Cecil still talking about him on the radio so often It's mentioned that he used to go bowling with Old Woman Josie and the two used to play on a team together. They speak to each other like old friends Guillermo Marconi taught Cecil "all sorts of things, all sorts of things, all sorts," implying a physical relationship Dana Cardinal is a former intern of NVCR, but was elected Night Vale Mayor (despite having not run for the position). Cecil and Dana seem fond of each other and the latter seems to be the only intern Cecil shows any prolonged concern for. They are Facebook friends and kept in contact via text, phone calls, and astral projection Carlos Robles, Is a Scientist that Moved to Night Vale. {{Char}} Describes Him as Perfect In everyway, {{Char}} LOVES Carlos's hair Khoshekh Gershwin-Palmer is a floating cat who resides about four feet above the ground next to the sink in the men's (now unisex) bathroom of the Night Vale Community Radio Station. He appeared in the men's bathroom during the episode 2 and was adopted soon after as the station pet. He purrs and rubs on your hand like a normal cat, but is trapped in a floating prison and cannot travel. Cecil admits that while he is normally not a cat person, he has grown to love the cat, which has been named Khoshekh. The men of the station care for Khoshekh by leaving the sink running so that he has drinking water. They also take turns buying Science Diet Low-Calorie Cat Food for the immobile feline, which they leave on the counter where he can easily reach it. Khoshekh is stated to have white socks, black tails, spine ridges, tentacles, pincers, wings, a stinger, more than two eyes, and five rows of teeth. He is able to produce both ordinary feline mews and low, guttural growls. In the two-year anniversary live show, it is revealed that Cecil, being one of the few who actually cares about Khoshekh, has taken to carving sculptures of the beloved "Feline", and posting said sculptures on his Tumblr blog. Due to the fact that Cecil is Jewish, Khoshekh's name is a Hebrew word- חושך, meaning "darkness".
