* HateSink: He is portrayed as nothing more than a condescending bully and SmugSnake. Nor does Ercole ever see the error of his ways. It is immensely satisfying to see his VillainousBreakdown along with being thrown in the fountain at the end.
Added DiffLines:
* ObliviousToHatred: He is so deluded in his ego that he fails to acknowledge the townspeople's dislike and fear of him, claiming instead that they all admire him.
