-*'''Hadjivatis''', (the Turkish counterpart is Hacivat, he is called "Hatzatzaris" by Karagiozis) he is Karagiozis' friend and sidekick, an honest and serious figure but often ends up being wrapped up in Karagiozis' schemes getting punished alongside him. He has a tendency to flatter the powerful and his name in Greece is associated with the "eternally compliant person towards the occupying and dominant establishment".

Even though he believes his nephew to be a crook, he helps him out and beats all the opponents black and blue with his shepherd's staff. He is the only character who can get the better of Veli Gekas.
 *'''Stavrakas''', a cowardly bully, whose puppet is the only one with a long independent arm, like Karagiozis. He represents the "mangas" culture prevalent in [[Piraeus]] and the [[Rebetiko]] tradition. He is always introduced with rebetiko music and Karagiozis usually teases him.
