Warren is the main villain of the first movie, the root of all of the evil that has befallen the poor mice of New York. His scheme is a protection racket, he pretends to act as a liason between the mice and the cats, offering to convince the cats not to attack the mice in exchange for their money. He also runs sweatshops, collecting the wages of the workers. When Fievel is dropped off by a pigeon at his makeshift office (a used suitcase), he offers to help Fievel find his family, but instead sells him into a sweatshop to make up the fifty cents of profit he lost the day before. In short, he is one greedy, evil conman. Later on in the movie, Fievel is lured into the underground lair of the Mott Street Maulers by the violin of Warren, mistakening it for his Papa's playing. There we see Warren adorned in lavish clothing, enjoying the high life, surrounded by obedient cat lackeys, misquoting Shakespeare and playing his violin terribly because his nose 'keeps getting in the way'. He removes the fake nose, and undoes his ears. Fievel witnesses this on the other side of Warren's mirror, exclaiming, "You're not a rat! You're a cat!" Yes, Warren is actually a small cat disguised as a rat. He was behind the cat attacks all along. Warren promptly orders his gang to seize the mouse and lock him up. But thanks to Tiger, Fievel escapes. The Mott Street Maulers chase Fievel down to the pier. Warren attempts to use threats to get the mice gathered at the pier to hand over Fievel along with all their money. However, a couple well-aimed shots from Tony's slingshot reveal Warren's true identity as a cat, so naturally, he resorts to burning the building down. The Giant Mouse of Minsk is released soon after, terrifying Warren and chasing his gang off the pier and onto the anchor of a ship headed for Hong Kong. Warren and the Mott Street Maulers are shipped away to Hong Kong, never to be heard from again. LESS
