Attila
Attila (Japanese: ブソン Buson) is a member of Team Rocket. He appeared along with his partner, Hun, in The Legend of Thunder! His Japanese voice actor is 檜山修之 Nobuyuki Hiyama and his English voice actor is Marc Thompson.
Like the other Rocket duos, his and his partner's names together form the name of a famous historical villain, in this case, Attila the Hun.
Basic information
| Appearances | The Legend of Thunder! |
|---|---|
| Age | Appears to be in his mid to late 20s. |
| Eye/Hair Color | Unknown due to sunglasses/Blonde |

| Height | Exact height unknown, but he seems to be about six inches (15cm) taller than Hun. |
| Job Status | Seems to be high-ranking officer. His silver uniform denote a rank that, through experience, seems to be just below that of the elite officers. However, this has yet to be verified and may just be fanon. |
| Origin of English Name | Taken from Attila the Hun, the famous final and most powerful king of the Huns. |
| Origin of Japanese Name | Matsuo Basho and Yosa Buson[1] are considered some of the greatest haiku poets in history. As they both flourished during the Edo and Tokugawa periods, some have suspected that both were also ninja employed by the administration. This may be a reason why these names were chosen for Attila and Hun (whose Japanese name is Bashō). |

| Dislikes | Do-gooders and those who do nothing but complain. |
Personality
Attila and Hun both seem somewhat set in their rank, and approach missions casually. They seem to be keep their cool even when they lose. Even in these situations, they beat a calm retreat. Despite physical stereotypes, Hun is the dominant partner, telling Attila to do things that he could do himself. Attila doesn't object, or show any signs of aggravation over this role. One particular event where Attila loses his temper is when he finds that Marina has called for help. He yells through her PokéGear, causing Vincent and Jimmy on the other end to nearly fall over, and then smashes it.
Relations to other members
Attila has no recorded history with his partner Hun though, while the dub states that they are new partners, their body language and the familiarity of the behavior towards each other shows that they do have history together.
The pair takes mission orders from Professor Sebastian, but it is implied that they have never met him before.
Arsenal and abilities
Robotic
In addition to the Crystal System, Attila and Hun control a small shuttlecraft, a helicopter, and a mech with a peculiar manner of walking. Some call it the "Chicken Walker", (a name given to bipedal mechs, most notably given to the AT-ST of Star Wars fame,) but there is nothing to suggest that this is the official name.
