Villager No. 5

Villager No. 5 is a character originally appearing in Villager News, a fan made series of comedic shorts by Element Animation centered around a news show run by villagers. Following the death of the original protagonist, Villager No. 4, Villager No. 5 became the main character and has appeared in several official Minecraft projects.

Villager No. 5's most defining trait is a fake[1] mustache, inherited from the late Villager No. 4. His robes are a typical, plains villager brown coat, however underneath is a toolsmith's apron. He also has very neon green eyes.

As the anchorman of Villager News, No. 5 is very committed to spreading knowledge, often shouting in excitement over any given story or situation. Even while not reporting, he is incredibly passionate about his job, muttering about news headlines in his sleep as "current events run around in [his] head."[1] However, he is consistently shown to be rather oblivious and incompetent, taking the fact that a villager hasn't updated to the newest version yet to mean he is vehemently against the prospect of change, and insisting that there is no monster in a forest despite watching several people die to it.
