Favorite ice cream is big cherry vanilla. Had money when they went to the candy store, but none of his other siblings did -- only bought for himself.

#72: Went to the park without asking with Jordan and Adam. It started raining once they were there. Stayed in the tool shed for awhile --planning on waiting out the storm -- but eventually decided to run for it because it didn't seem like it was ending any time soon. Nicky was worried about them. Triplets have a "science club" in which they basically do all sorts of experiments on their hamster, Frodo.
#73: Formed a kickball team with Jordan and Adam. The triplets weren't good at settling arguments between their team members, so everyone eventually stopped coming. Got advice from Mal on how to run it better, and it was a success.

#91: Was told he had to clean his room before he played any games (along with Jordan and Adam). Protested. In way of encouraging the triplets to clean their room, Sam Thomas taped a dollar bill to a paper turkey and then taped the turkey on the broom. He told the triplets they'd find it when their room was done.
#92: Byron laughed so hard that he fell out of his chair when Adam told Claire that Pow was frozen solid. Spied on his sisters. Argued with Adam over whether they should get a Ferrari or a Porsche. Wanted the television crew to leave so that they could spend Christmas as a family.

Played 'vegetable house' with Claire and Margo. Decided he didn't want to be in the BSC anymore because he had better things to do, like Rollerblading. Plays on Little League.

#115: Byron wants to read Dawn his English report, but Adam tells him he'll put her to sleep.
#116: Was in the play.
#121: Built a tower out of cards, but then it fell down. Moped around the house. Ended up building a 'beach' outside with the rest of th Pike kids. Had a sleepover. Triplets climbed up a large tree with a garbage bag of water balloons and soaked everyone. Mrs. Pike came out and called for them after Adam accidentally sprayed the water hose in his parents' bedroom. They hung their heads, thinking they were in trouble, and walked over to her. She soaked them all with a water gun, and then the fight continued.
#122: He and Adam had a soccer game (Jordan was sick).
#125: Refused to even speak to Mallory because he and the other triplets said they were practicing for when she was at Riverbend. Threw a football around while walking home from school. Ate chocolate chip cookies.
#126: Let Mallory hug him before she left. Refused to help Adam and Jordan take apart the bunk beds. Did not participate in the infamous Pike family room wars; while his siblings were upstairs "protesting," he read a book in the rec room.
“What’s up?” [Abby] asked him when she found him reading quietly in the rec room. “Don’t you have any opinion about this room issue?”
He shook his head. “Not really,” he answered. “The whole thing is dumb. Jordan and Adam are acting like babies. Which is kind of funny, since they’re always telling Nicky what a baby he is. Which he isn’t, really.”
Abby nodded, thoughtfully.
“So you’re staying out of the Room Wars?” she asked.
He nodded. “However it works out is fine with me. I just want some peace and quiet.”
Agreed to share a room with Nicky instead of with Adam and Jordan.
#130: The triplets all climbed on each other's backs for the video Alan was filming. They were doing fine until Nicky joined in, then they almost ran into a lamp. The triplets played Monopoly in the rec room.
#131: Wants a new airplane model, so tries to save up money. Unlike Adam and Jordan, fires don't excite him - actually, he's scared of them. Wanted the BSC to pay him, A, and J to not ruin their reputation. Is the logical triplet.

Basically, their role is the same in each of the mini-books (the books that came with the dolls), although the full story is described in Kristy and Triple Trouble: Kristy (as a favor to Mallory) took the triplets to the sporting goods store in Washington Mall to get new gloves for baseball. While they were supposed to be looking at gloves, they instead got a bat and baseball an played ball right there in the middle of the store.
