Scruple is a character from the cartoon show. His Wiki page is located here. He also exists in The Smurfs: Light and Dark. To see a full list of episodes in which he appears, please CLICK HERE.
Background Information
He is a mischievous, sometimes downright rotten kid who became such a source of trouble for his teachers in Wizard's School that they decided to leave Gargamel to become his apprentice. He hopes to one day pass the re-entry exam and finally leave the accursed hovel.
Relationship with Gargamel
He first becomes Gargamel's apprentice in "The Enchanted Quill." Their relationship is rather tenuous since neither of them like being stuck with each other. He does help "Garggy" out at times when they are trying to capture the Smurfs, though it seems he would rather be doing something else. On many occasions, when Scruple happens to have a useful suggestion that his master takes seriously, Gargamel takes credit for having thought of it.

Relationship with Denisa
Since first encountering Denisa in the cartoon show, Scruple wants very little association with her -- if any at all. He finds her annoying and too loud, but has an unspoken admiration for her ability to prove him wrong (often by outdoing him in some challenge in which he thought she would be less competent).
- Season 1 -- Their acquaintanceship is mutually stagnant, as evident from "Kiddie Crushes," which also demonstrated their differing viewpoints of the Smurfs and Peewit. Generally, he would be happier not seeing Denisa, but is willing to spend time "babysitting" if it means he will be away from Gargamel and out of the hovel.

Peewit
- Mainstream Media -- He first meets Peewit in "Peewit's Unscrupulous Adventure" of the original cartoon show, in which they developed a rivalry because Scruple directly impeded on Peewit's job under the Good King as a means of trying to escape the hovel. After his plan backfired, he was given a brief job as a weed picker upon the King's mercy, but he later wound up back in Gargamel's discontent care.

Appearance
Scruple is about the same height as Peewit (3'4 1/2" feet American measurement), but slightly chubbier, has pale skin with freckles on his cheeks, and standard black eyes.
- Season 1 -- Underneath his dark blue hat is "a load of [orange] hair" as one commenter put it, and he has a dark red cape with a scarf-like hold concealing his neck. His long-sleeve shirt, skirt (for lack of a better term), and leggings are pale lavender while his shoes match his hat.
- Season 4 -- Pending...
Voice Actor(s)
He was originally voiced by Brenda Vaccaro, so she is most desired for a reprise. A possible alternative would be Numbuh 404. During Parts 9 and 10 of The Reluctant Dark Knight, he is voiced by Frank Welker while disguised as Peewit.
As a teenager/young adult, the most preferred actor would be either Jason Harris, who portrayed Chad Dickson from Codename: Kids Next Door, or Michael "Rage Quit" Jones from the Roosterteeth and Achievement Hunter YouTube Channels.
Trivia
- His name is taken from a word meaning honesty, restraint, and ethical behavior -- some things neither he nor Gargamel are really known for.
- He and Peewit are in the same age range (9-11). In this series, he is ten years old when introduced.
- His Zodiac sign is Libra and his birthday is October 1st.
