[edit] Story

The token black guy in the neighborhood, Cleveland is a sort of novelty in Quahog which is exemplified in his trip to Barrington Country Club. He is 5 ft 10 inches tall, and until recently he was married to Loretta, but they separated after Loretta had an affair with Quagmire, although they still have feelings for each other. Together they had a son, Cleveland, Jr., whose personality and energy contrast greatly with his father. He also sports a mustache and often offers deep insight that the other characters are unable to see.

He used to be an accomplished auctioneer, but was struck in the head by a totem pole, which resulted in his speech being permanently slowed. Cleveland is also the president of the Quahog Chamber of Commerce. He is currently the proprietor of Cleveland's Deli. His brother, Broderick is a plastic surgeon.

Cleveland may have been married before he met Loretta, suggested in a scene from the episode Death Lives, when Cleveland meets Peter in the 70's. Cleveland picks up Peter in his van, and Peter asks to go to Rhode Island, then checks if it's okay with Cleveland. Cleveland then mentions something to the effect of being away from "Maxine, the Cheatin' Queen". Maxine may or may not have been Cleveland's first wife.

Cleveland has committed, but not been convicted of, one crime of attempted murder on Skeet Ulrich.

He "dies" in Lois Kills Stewie when he is shot in the chest by Stewie. But, it was only a simulation, so it never actually occurred.

His name is a reference to the professional football team Cleveland Browns.

He has terrible foot odor and refused to take off his shoes at Quagmire's house because of the odor, running away after accidentally admitting this to all of his friends.

He will star in a spin-off of Family Guy, entitled The Cleveland Show!, set to premiere in Fall 2009. Cleveland will officially leave Family Guy when The Cleveland Show! starts. His son, Cleveland Jr. will also leave the show and will appear to have gained weight. Cleveland's new house, located in Virginia, will be surrounded by a variety of neighbors, just like in Family Guy.

Mike Henry has stated that his inspiration for the voice was someone that he had met and told him that he had graduated from the University of Maryland, pronouncing it "the University of Merlind", which is recognizable.
