[edit] Character biography

He is the somewhat uptight manager of the Tipton Hotel, who speaks with a wide vocabulary and an urbane vernacular, along with speaking a number of different languages besides English (French, Japanese, Swahili, Spanish, etc.). He is often annoyed by Zack and Cody Martin's schemes (to the point that he may have vowed never to have any children of his own), but although he acts as though he does not care about the boys, he actually has a great deal of affection for them. For example, when they went to the baseball game and he caught a ball for Cody, ultimately making him the most "hated man in Boston", and in an episode of The Suite Life on Deck, when Zack was framed for stealing a necklace, Mr. Moseby said that he knew Zack, and that he wasn't a thief (although, it is shown that he calls him many other things before stating that). In the episode "The Ghost of 613", it is revealed that he started out at the Tipton as a bellhop back in the 1970s and had a "voluminous 'fro". In another episode, it is stated that he lives in a condo.

Mr. Moseby is probably more of a father to London Tipton than her own, because he is seldom around. Mr. Moseby has even taught London how to walk, her ABC's (This took fourteen years to do), how to ride a bike, how to roller skate, and how to drive (or tried to). He cares for London and treats her like his own daughter. He also helps London with any problems she is having. She has, in turn, shown to some extent that she enjoys his presence or that she respects him, like in the episode Arwinstein when she makes him Prime Minister of the country that she "bought."

He was also known as the "Meanager".

A running gag of the series is that Mr. Moseby often makes a fool of himself in front of people (eg: hitting a baby doll that wouldn't stop crying against a chair when a woman with a baby walked by or stating he was an Egyptian belly dancer named Melina (at which a guest turned around and stared at him curiously), or making a sarcastic comment about himself (that the customers think is true, and not sarcastic). He is guessed to be 39 because he said "only 26 more years til retirement" in "A Tale of Two Houses" and it is revealed that you must retire at the Tipton at age 65 in "Free Tippy".

In The Suite Life on Deck he is somewhat an uptight chaperone on the S.S. Tipton. Though the job of putting foil to Zack and Cody's antics never goes away. He's constantly running from bow to stern keeping the boys, and London, out of trouble. He then develops a crush on the boys' teacher, Emma Tutweiler, and they start dating.

It's shown that despite how he acts towards Zack and Cody, he does actually care about them. For example, while he always wishes Zack and Cody will disappear, when they actually do he's very upset about it and says he didn't actually mean it. Also, when Zack is accused of being a thief in Kidney of the Sea, Mosbey stands up for him saying that while he's a lot of things (and he takes forever listing them) he knows that Zack is not a thief and helps him prove his innocence.

[edit] Family members

• Nia (played by Giovonnie Samuels) - Nia is Mr. Moseby's sixteen year old niece. She has a part time job at the candy counter, filling in for Maddie during her absence. Her purpose for staying at the Tipton for the summer is so Mr. Moseby can get her to behave like a responsible girl. One of Nia's aunt's named Aunt Lily was to make her behave like a responsible adult, but she couldn't stand Nia so much that she changed her name and moved to Alaska. Nia currently appears in six episodes in Season Three. According to Mr. Moseby, she was expelled from her last school for fighting with the cafeteria lady because she was out of matzah ball soup. In the episode First Day of High School, she is seen defending Zack from a jerk.

• Beulah Moseby - Beulah is Mr. Moseby's mother who's been unseen. She favors Mr. Moseby's brother Spencer over him but she still loves him. Beulah was mentioned in the episodes Big Hair & Baseball, Moseby's Big Brother, Risk It All, and Miniature Golf. Her name Beulah was revealed in the episode, Miniature Golf. In Big Hair & Baseball, she was so mad at Mr. Moseby that she sent him a nasty message on his cellphone, and she has a woman who waxes her lip (indicated in the episode Risk It All). Beulah appears to be sort of mean and she wants Mr. Moseby to get married. She is also described by Mr. Moseby on one occasion as being 250 lbs of fire and brimstone, and 20 lbs of coffee cake in Miniature Golf. In the On Deck episode Mom and Dad On Deck, it's revealed that she lives with cats, whom she is very fond of. In the episode, she forgot Moseby's birthday, and only called him to tell him about her cat's birthday gift.

• Rose Moseby (Phill Lewis in dual role) - Mr. Moseby's grandmother and was in the episode, A Nugget of History. She helped Zack get an "A" in history. She carries a large purse filled with many objects that realistically wouldn't fit into it like a baseball bat, vacuum cleaner, anchor etc. (similar to Mary Poppin's purse and Max Russo's bag in "Double Crossed").

• Spencer Moseby - (Dana Michael Woods) Moseby's older brother, who is a midget. He is filthy rich, mean and is lactose intolerant. Spencer worked for the Tipton for a while when he was broke, but quit when all his riches came back. Spencer would make fun of Mr. Moseby's lack of accomplishments when compared to his own, and Mr. Moseby's hate for Spencer eventually built up, resulting in a very immature fight between both of them in the hotel lobby (which actually was a wrestling match).

• Lily Moseby - Lily Moseby is the one who was to take care of Nia before Mr. Moseby. But, as Nia mentioned, this did not go well and she changed her name and moved to Alaska. It is unknown if she is Mr. Moseby's sister or cousin.
