Character Description

Dean Craig Isidore Pelton is one of the main characters of the NBC sitcom Community. He was an educator at Greendale for ten years, after or during which he earned a Bachelor of Education degree at the fictional Appomattox University, and, when the series begins, has been Greendale's dean for five years. He desperately wants Greendale to be a real university, maintaining an intense rivalry with nearby City College, whose dean seems personally committed to Greendale's downfall. When first introduced, Pelton is obsessively politically correct, as evidenced when he changes the Greendale mascot from the Greendale Grizzly to the racially-, gender-, and age-neutral Greendale Human Being in "Football, Feminism and You"; his explanation for the change is that most of these people (Greendale students) have been called animals their entire lives.

In the early seasons, Pelton has a habit of dressing in elaborate costumes for Greendale events or for simple announcements. These costumes have included Tina Turner, Julius Caesar, Lady Gaga, and other famous figures, in addition to more abstract costumes, such as one that was half-male and half-female. This quirk gradually fades as Pelton begins to be more directly involved in the study group's adventures.

Pelton has displayed various fetishes, the most prominent being his increasing fascination with men dressed in Dalmatian costumes during the first season, after he sees an internet video-clip featuring a man dressed in such an outfit, muttering to himself, "I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me..."

Pelton displays many quirks and eccentricities regarding his sexual orientation; Vice Dean Laybourne describes him as a pansexual]] imp, and when once called a fruit by student Leonard, Pelton offhandedly says that the term is barely the whole truth. Pelton displays an obvious and increasingly obsessive crush on Jeff Winger, treating Jeff with favoritism and inappropriately touching him (particularly on the chest) when he is nearby. In the season 6 episode Queer Studies and Advanced Waxing, Dean Pelton is recruited to the school board as a token homosexual but is uncomfortable with the label, saying being gay is only two-sevenths of what he identifies as, and resumes his job as dean after the charade becomes too much to handle.

Despite his ongoing over-the-top behavior, Pelton has many bouts of self-doubt and confusion, once questioning his life choices after realizing that he had gone "too far" with one of his costumes and would have to wear it to the bank that day, commenting to himself that he needs to get his life together.
