* AtLeastIAdmitIt: The reason Axe seems to hate him more than any other competitor is his constant attempts to claim the moral high ground, while Axe publicly calls himself "a carnivorous fucking monster" and never pretends to be otherwise. However, it's not clear whether Prince is truly and nobly trying to overcome his own monstrous side (which he freely admits he has) or if he's just too weak to admit it to himself.

* AffablyEvil: Possibly. We have yet to see Prince do anything particularly immoral (and what he alludes to in his past seems to be more along the lines of narcissism and selfishness rather than anything truly harmful) but Axe is convinced that this is what he is. Although he ''did'' sell out a business partner (who subsequently died as a result of overdoing the drink and drugs) in order to make his first serious pile of money, he appears to be contrite about this, although the poor guy's mother refuses to forgive him.
