General White is the Russian commander of Muscle Tower, the Red Ribbon Army's northern fortress, whose sanity is questionable and who often overreacts. As the oldest of the known officers, White is not a gifted strategist, but he is observant and draws conclusions with surprising speed. He is the only officer to have ever discovered Goku's primary weakness: his tail. Confined to the top of the six-level tower by his status, White spends his time smoking a pipe, taking sips from his flask, yelling, or bursting into laughter for no apparent reason. Although he is easily irritated and slightly impatient, White is surprisingly complimentary; he congratulates Goku when he reaches the sixth floor and praises Ninja Murasaki for a job well done when Murasaki supposedly kills Goku. When Goku and Android 8 reach the sixth and final level of the tower, which is White's level, they fight, but it is clear that Goku is much stronger. White then threatens to kill the village chief if Android 8 does not comply with the order to kill Goku, and he shoots the boy with a handgun. In retaliation, Android 8 finally punches General White out of Muscle Tower, sending him flying into the mountains, never to be seen or heard of again.
