Kelbo Russo is a recurring character in Wizards of Waverly Place. He is the son of Rose and Hank Russo. He is Jerry and Megan Russo's brother. He is Justin, Alex and Max Russo's paternal uncle. He appeared in three episodes, one in season one, one in season two, and one in season three. He still has his powers and turns into Shakira in one of his episodes. After Jerry won his family's wizard test, he gave his powers to Kelbo, because Jerry wanted to get married to a mortal. Kelbo's first appearance was in "Alex in the Middle" and later "Retest."
Background[]
Personality[]
Kelbo is a fun-loving guy who uses magic to enjoy himself and do practically everything Jerry tells his kids not to do. However, when it comes to using his powers in a serious situation, Kelbo is somewhat lacking due to his inexperience and lack of ability to focus. In fact, it is apparent that he was actually the worst wizard out of Jerry, Megan, and himself. However, Jerry chose to let him keep the power because, for as bad as he is at magic, Kelbo lacks any non-magical skills; meaning that his life would have been far worse without them, as compared to his brother who set up his own business, and his sister who is a talented painter.

Trivia[]
- Kelbo is the only member of the Russo Family to be a recurring character.
- Kelbo parrallels his nephew Max like how his sister Meghan does their neice Alex and Jerry to his son Justin. Like Max, he is quite ditzy, doing foolish things on whim and lacking focus. However, Kelbo maintains magic when his brother Jerry marries Theresa, a mortal, and passes his powers to him. Max, on the other hand, loses his magic in the Wizard Competition, but inherits the family restaurant, meaning he’ll have some skills and worth without magic unlike his uncle.
