Asterix is one of the most sensible and sensible villagers, and therefore usually it is chosen for any dangerous, important or unusual task. Small, not having a powerful physique warrior, relying mainly on cunning and intelligence than on brute force. Although always do not mind scratching his fists on Roman armor. Obelix's best friend and one of the few who know how to cool the fervor of the peddler menhirs.
Asterix's inseparable friend. It has its own business for the delivery of menhirs (large stones). He likes to crack wild boars in especially large quantities. He is always ready to give up all his affairs, and go with Asterix into the thick of danger - if only wild boars come in abundance so that they can be eaten, and Roman legionnaires so that they can be taught a lot.
Obelix has tremendous power and without a magic potion. Just as a child, he fell into a large cauldron with this drink, and swallowed it in abundance. Now his potion is contraindicated, which is why he himself is not too happy.
