Emile, Remy's brother, is a rat's rat -- a little overweight and good-natured, he's a lover of life and all things edible and inedible. He doesn't always understand the finer points of his brother's obsession with good food, but he is always ready to support Remy on one of his harebrained errands, or cheer him up when he is feeling low. His bottomless and appreciative appetite makes him the perfect audience for Remy's culinary delights.
