Stanley "Stan" Pines (born June 15th[14] or 16th[15]), also known as Grunkle Stan and formerly under the assumed identity Stanford Pines,[9][3] is Dipper and Mabel Pines' great uncle and summer guardian. Stan, on the surface is greedy, cynical, careless, and highly manipulative when it comes to getting people to buy things from his tourist trap, The Mystery Shack. However, deep down he's definitely the opposite of what he claims, he has a deep caring side to him who cares about his family, even though he stole his brother's identity after he disappeared through a portal 30 years ago. He tends to stay what he wants to and lacks a filter. Stan has brown eyes[27] with cataracts[28], gray eyebrows, and gray hair (both of which were brown in his youth), that is almost always covered by Stan's trademark maroon fez. The fez bore a yellow crescent shape (through episodes 1 to 13) and later a similar figure (after the original fez was eaten by Gompers), albeit with straight edges and a dot next to it, resembling an oyster with a pearl in it. He bears a somewhat large, droopy, pear-shaped, bumpy, reddish-pinkish nose, large ears, and fair skin. As a result of his age, Stan has wrinkly skin, a hearing aid, and dentures [1]. He has a faded burn mark of the symbol on the side of Ford's desk on his back. He usually wears a pair of rectangular glasses with a black rim which later had its outline thinned. Stan also has a perpetual five o'clock shadow covering his lower face. Stan's typical outfit is a black suit, with the jacket buttoned closed, a bow tie similar in color to .his fez, and a white dress shirt. He also wears big, light brown shoes, the aforementioned fez and his glasses. He frequently carries an eight ball cane with him and often wears an unnecessary eye-patch over one of his eyes while working.
