Old Man Waterfall was a lawyer and the great-grandfather of Frida Waterfall. He fought in countless wars, and before his death, was entirely put together with artificial substitutes, as he had lost most of his real body parts throughout the galaxy.

He was a strong patriot of Earth, but as much as he loved the flag, he strongly believed that Dr. Zoidberg's eating of the flag was protected by the rights of the people who salute the flag. He was Dr. Zoidberg's lawyer against Earth, represented by Hyper-Chicken.

Unfortunately he lost, and Dr. Zoidberg was sentenced to death, Zoidberg made off to his people's embassy, and hid until Earth made an act of war against Decapod 10, which resulted in war, and enslaving of humanity. As Old Man Waterfall tried to fight off the Mobile Oppression Palace, he was crushed by one of its claws.

On many levels he was the most sane member of the Waterfall family, although he did hold some beliefs that were unorthodox even by his family's standards - he was a polygamist, a satanist, and a bisexual.
