* BigBadWannabe: An interesting example in that he starts off as the legit BigBad of the story. Over the course of three books, however, he gradually loses control of his position as his fellow Grail Brotherhood members begin to plot against him, the operating system that he relies on to maintain his Otherland network develops a will of its own, and his increasingly erratic behavior fails to inspire confidence in his co-conspirators. Jongleur's fall from grace finally occurs when Johnny Dread successfully seizes control of Otherland and he is forced into an EnemyMine situation with the heroes. Even Jongleur's last-minute attempt to seize back control of his network fails miserably and Dread remains the primary threat.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: He serves as the main villain for three of the series' four books. At the climax of the third book, Jongleus is essentially dethroned by his DragonWithAnAgenda, Johnny Dread. And although Jongleur remains an active figure in the story, he never regains his position as the BigBad.
Added DiffLines:
* EvilIsPetty: He singled out Paul Jonas as a tutor to his daughter, Avialle, fully intending to have Paul murdered once the job was complete. His reason? [[InsaneTrollLogic Paul went to the same public school where Jongleur was bullied as a child]].

* NotSoDifferent: Kunohara hints at one point that he thinks they and the Grail Brotherhood have more in common than either would care to admit. WordOfGod has further clarified this: the Grail Brotherhood works on the assumption that human life is a coincidence and that therefore it has the right to do anything it needs to sustain itself. The Circle believes that human life was purposefully created and that therefore it has a responsibility to serve that purpose. What those two beliefs have in common is the assumption that humanity has a central importance - the idea that it might need to pass the torch to a new lifeform and resign itself to obscurity would be anathema to both of them.
