Vita
We don't know many things about Squidward's parents. In Krab Borg Squidward says that his father loved him. We can suppose that Squidward's father is dead because he tells this in past. But we see Squidward's mother in Krusty Towers.
His rivalry with Squilliam conisted since the High School. Now Squilliam is rich and does all the things that Squidward want to be or to do, he lives Squidward's dream.
Squidward lives in a Moai in the Conch Street 122. In His house he has a lot of self-portraits. (His neighbours are SpongeBob and Patrick.).
He works usually as cashier in the Krusty Krab, but he hates his job and he doesn't want to do anything for the Krusty Krab. He doesn't leave it because he doesn't know what to do, otherwise he becomes a homeless person. He thinks the food in the Krusty Krab is not good, because he never wants to taste them. Since Just one Bite he never tastes a Krabby Patty! But then he notices, he adores Krabby Patties.
The poor Squidward must, since Good Neigbours, achieve community Service with SpongeBob and Patrick all their lives long.
We come to know that he was in jail. Originally, he must be in prison 10 years, but he was not. We don't know how or why he leaved it. (84c)
Personality
Sqidward loves art. He does many artistic things like painting, working with marble or dancing... as hobby. He individually thinks his "artistic" things are beautiful, but he is the only one who does. Sometimes he meets his rival, Squilliam, but usually fails to impress. However, in Band Geeks, he manages to win one over Squilliam. His favorite hobby is to play the clarinet. Most of the time he is a terrible player. But in some episodes likeBubble Stand he can perfectly play the clarinet. >
Squidward can't say "Excuse me" or "sorry". This is becase he is very egotistical and has trouble admitting his mistakes.
In "Artist Unknown" SpongeBob makes a perfect circle and Squidward is fascinated, but he tells SpongeBob off and says that SpongeBob hadn't followed the rules of art. Then SpongeBob makes a wonderful sculpture; inwardly Squidward is frantic, but he shouts at SpongeBob, because he is jealous of his talent.
Next to his dream to become a perfect artist, he wats to have hair! In One Krab's Trash we see Squidward's dream are buried in a accursed cementery. He apparently comes there and brings flower to his dream's tomb. Maybe he is therefore always churlish.
His crabbiness is also contributed by SpongeBob and Patrick presence. In Breath of Fresh Squidward SpongeBob explains that a storm appears over Squidward's brain when he sees SpongeBob or Patrick or both. Squidwards glad of bliss get a cold and himself isn't happy. But SpongeBob and Patrick think Squidward is thier friend and sometimes Squidward recognizes he likes SpongeBob and Patrick. He often want to get rid of them, but either it doesn't go or he misses SpongeBob and Patrick.
He hates jellyfishing, even he unwittingly invents it (14a)! He is too easy to vex him, so it's difficult to become a friend or to establish a relationship.
Because of his personality we can suppose Squidward is an egoistic bourgeois, but he isn't all the time! He can be very merciful! He shows his feelings other people, but unfortunately just rarely. Like in Christmas Who? Squidward give all his goods and chattels just so that SpongeBob happy is. In Pizza Delivery SpongeBob breaks out in tears as the costoumer doesn't want the pizza, so Squidward "assists a bit".
