Pieten and Sint
Wegwijspiet (actor: Michiel Kerbosch) - The Piet responsible for making sure Sinterklaas find his way through the Netherlands. Quite the bossy type, tries to take control of any situation he's not in charge of. He's the owner of the Paella restaurant Pedro's Paella Palacio, which he runs with his best friend Chefpiet. Obvious is that he's been losing it over the years, with his most memorable quality his forgetfulness, as well as his life motto "Recht zo die gaat" (Roughly translated: Right this way it goes). Earlier mentioned went over the limit over the years which basically forced him into retirement in 2005.
Chefpiet (actor: Don van Dijke) - The chef of Pedro's Paella Palacio, owned by his best friend Wegwijspiet. He used to work for Sinterklaas as his personal cook before joining Wegwijs in his Paella venture. He's usually the correcting one of the duo, always stopping Wegwijs from doing something wrong. Returned to the kitchen of the Saint in 2005 when Wegwijspiet turned to do his own cooking at Pedro's.
