Reggie is Archie Andrews' rival, and he loves Veronica. The fact that Veronica loves only Archie makes Reggie jealous, so he enjoys making Archie's life miserable by playing practical jokes on him. Yet many of his schemes against Archie tend to backfire and allow Archie to be the victor. Like the rest of the characters, he is eternally in Riverdale High School.

Reggie is a very talented athlete who excels at American football, baseball and basketball. He is also interested in another girl, Midge Klump, who is the girlfriend of another member of Archie's gang, Moose Mason. This infuriates Moose and Reggie has received some unkind, almost brutal to say the least, treatment from Moose at times. But Reggie never gives up on his attempts to date Midge, often thinking of ways to get past Moose by taking advantage of the latter's low intelligence or any other weaknesses. Sometimes, Reggie targets Jughead Jones instead, thinking that he is too lazy or stupid to do anything about it, and receives some payback when Jughead proves that he is smarter than he looks.

Reggie is vain and thinks of himself as God's greatest gift to women (this may be the reason why Veronica likes Archie more than him), but behind all that vanity lies a warm-hearted teenager.

Reggie is also a guitar player for The Archies, and naturally thinks of himself as the most important and talented member of the group.
