Radar is a deuteragonist and Jesse's assistant/intern in Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2. He first appeared in "Hero in Residence" and is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.
Appearance[]
Radar has dark-tan skin, black eyes, and black hair. He wears glasses (that determinately break in half which then are fixed with something white), blue jeans, a green hoodie with white drawstrings, a light brown vest, and a blue tie. He has several black tattoos on his arms, typically covered by his long sleeves.
Personality[]
Radar adores Jesse and the New Order of the Stone. He enjoys working for Jesse and likes to help him/her. If Jesse lets him temporarily run Beacontown or watch over the Clock, he gets excited. Radar is also nervous around the New Order of the Stone, evidenced by how he acts nervously around them at the beginning of "Hero in Residence".
He is also very organized, seen when he determinantly says "There's no schedule; everyone's running around unorganized" which he doesn't like as shown when he complains how disorganized the Sunshine Institute is, and when he deems the armors in Romeoburg barbaric because of how unorganized they are.
At first, Radar dislikes adventuring, shown in "Hero in Residence" when he tells Jesse how dangerous adventuring is. However, during the group's journey to the Icy Palace of Despair, Radar slowly becomes stronger. After seeing the natures of the Sunshine Institute, he becomes "Prison Radar" and starts to play tough, although his organized personality and admiration for Jesse are still often shown at times. Eventually, in "Above and Beyond", he returns to be the organized fan of Jesse. He determinately acts more aggressive in Above and Beyond.

Trivia[]
- The game makes a reference to Ben 10 when Jesse tells Radar "It's hero time!" when escaping the golems, which is Ben 10's catchphrase. This is because both are voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.
- Yuri Lowenthal also voices Willy.
- Eric Stirpe revealed the following about Radar on Tumblr:
- If Jesse looks at the octopus statue in "Hero in Residence", Radar will state that he loves seafood.
- Radar previously lived in Champion City.
- It is completely unknown how Radar could enter the Terminal Zone (if Jesse left him behind in Episode 4), as the portal entrance was concealed by Romeo's bedrock layer.
- Radar is supposed to sing a song called "Taste My Bravery" in an episode, but it wasn't able to make it in.[5]
- Radar uses a model similar the Alex player model, with thinner arms. The difference is that his arms are 3 pixels wide on all sides, whereas the normal Alex model is 3 pixels wide on the front + back and 4 pixels on the left + right.
