📖 Biography
Sir Hiss is the sly snake advisor and assistant to Prince John in Disney's Robin Hood. Serving as his master's closest confidant, Hiss uses hypnosis and clever schemes to help Prince John maintain his grip on England while King Richard is away. Although he is an accomplice to John's rule, Hiss is often more sensible than his impulsive master and regularly warns him about danger. His pompous personality, nervous complaints, and comic misfortune make him one of the film's most memorable supporting villains.
