Personality[]
Mr. Lancer is first portrayed as a disciplinary enforcer within Casper High, but shows favouritism towards the athletes and Jazz while liberally doling out detentions to Danny and his friends.
Later on, he is depicted as a devoted educator who takes his job seriously and cares for his students, but underneath the surface he sees his students' success as a reflection of his own success.[1][2]
Later in the series, he becomes more or less fair and forgiving.[3] Although he is described as an English teacher, Mr. Lancer has appeared teaching a variety of subjects, including astronomy[4], and the blackboard behind him is often covered in various math equations.
He’s portrayed as a bit of a wimp, although he occasionally has moments of bravery, especially when it comes to his students' safety. He often uses the titles of books as exclamations ("Moby-Dick!", "Gulliver's Travels!", "Lord of the Flies!", "War of the Worlds!", etc.)
