He was raised by servants and became spoiled and ignorant due to having everything he wanted handed to him without a connection to its source. He lived an extremely sheltered, and presumably wealthy, life ever since. Upon being created, Lemongrab screamed hysterically and violently flapped his arms, causing the Princess to realize that the experiment had gone wrong. The Earl was created in Princess Bubblegum's laboratory. In 'Too Old', he has become obese and wears a full black bodysuit with a frilly collar and wristbands. His preferred choice of underpants is a pair of light-grey briefs with three buttons on the front. He sometimes uses a pair of half-moon spectacles to read. For bed, he wears a light gray one-piece with snaps on the butt. The sword is later revealed to be a 'sound sword'. The Earl wears a dark-gray bodysuit, black boots, a green belt with a lemon-shaped buckle and carries a sword in a brown scabbard. He often has lines around his eyes when stressed, and visible frown lines when particularly upset.

Despite being far more humanoid than the average candy person, he has no toes, nipples, or belly button. His behind consists of one large, round butt cheek. However, his behind sticks out noticeably and the profile of his body resembles a jelly bean. The Earl is one of the few overtly humanoid candy people.
