Dwight Schrute is the counterpart to Gareth Keenan in the American version of The Office.
Overview
At the beginning of the series, Dwight Schrute is a salesman and the arrogant Assistant to the Regional Manager of the Scranton branch of paper-goods distribution company Dunder-Mifflin, formerly second in command beneath Michael Scott. He craves authority over his "inferiors" and relishes any minor task that Michael gives him. He is also tormented by his desk-mate and fellow salesman Jim Halpert, whose laid-back nature contrasts with his own.
A running joke is that Dwight refers to himself as "Assistant Regional Manager" and is always corrected as actually "Assistant to the Regional Manager". Eventually, he is promoted to "Assistant Regional Manager" to humor him, though the new title has no bearing on his actual job.
Character
Dwight lives with his cousin Mose on their family beet farm. He is a sci-fi buff, a purple belt in Goju-Ryu karate, and a former Lackawanna County volunteer sheriff's deputy.
