History Characters / PsychonautsTheRealWorld

* AristocratsAreEvil: His true personality is that of an entitled RoyalBrat all grown up and turned bitter by the denial of what he feels is his rightful throne. He doesn't even bother to remember what the protestors Maligula killed were upset about. There's a good reason why Raz told him the Grulovians hated his family.

* OnlySaneMan: It's not a [[DysfunctionJunction very high bar]] to clear, but Edgar is easily the most well-adjusted of the Thorny Towers inmates. While his [[OneTrackMindedArtist own]]issues are debilitating, he's still more mentally sound than a paranoid ConspiracyTheorist, a defeatist possessed by the GeneticMemory of his FamousAncestor, and a delusional WhiteDwarfStarlet prone to mood swings.

* TheChessmaster: {{Zigzagg|ingTrope}}ed, being thoroughly {{Subverted|Trope}} and {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. This trope often comes with the caveat that the mastermind in question has enough sense to use their manipulation skills efficiently, but Gristol isn't the wisest person around. Thus, Gristol shows what happens when a clever mind is paired with someone who has little to no common sense, with the result being a rather devious plan in the hands of a sheltered brat who has no idea what he's getting into. This is arguably more dangerous than if Gristol was smart enough to maximize the effectiveness of his plan, since he seems totally unaware that Maligula would love to kill him just the same as everyone else. To drive the point home, young Gristol can be seen delivering what looks like a lecture on economics or science to a crowd of intrigued nobleman onlookers while bored out of his mind in one of his memory vaults, showing he has a pretty high level of intelligence with none of the sense to comprehend what he's actually doing.

* TheSociopath:He [[BitchInSheepsClothing pretends to be a friendly mailroom worker]] in order to infiltrate the Psychonauts,-and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulates everyone like a puppet]] in his quest to revive Maligula. He also [[LackOfEmpathy shows no remorse for his actions]], feels nothing for those that suffered from his fathers tyrannical rule, and [[ItsAllAboutMe only cares about reviving his family's empire]] and reawakening [[PersonOfMassDestruction Maligula]] in order to do it, that and [[TrademarkFavoriteFood caviar]].

* CloningBlues: Parodied when he realizes that, in his words, he's a clone...''of an ugly person!'' He also seem to think Raz is ''his'' clone rather than the other way around, and using Clairvoyance on him shows that he sees Raz as an Archetype.

* NonSequieturThud: After Lillie comes and beats him with a doll made in the form of her father, he tells her that the dolls was actually made of real cotton, before he mumbles his words by telling that it was made with real metal in the case, after that, he drops out.

* PaperTiger: TheChessmaster he may be, but he is personally unable to match the Psychonauts, hence why he keeps to the shadows. Best illustrated by Lilli in ''his own mind.'' The girl sneaks into the controls through violence and beats him silly with a gift shop doll of Truman holding the metal case, all with no real resistance.

* VillainousGlutton: He had an habit of casually eating caviar.

* TheWrongfulHeirToTheThrone: He is the rightful prince of Grulovia who just wants to return to power. He is also a selfish, delusional man who would be a tyrant if he succeeded.

NonSequieturThud: After Lillie comes and beats him with a doll made in the form of her father, he tells her that the dolls was actually made of real cotton, before he mumbles his words by telling that it was made with real metal in the case, after that, he drops out.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Everyone in the motherlobe thinks his "Nick Johnsmith" identity is a NiceGuy. Not a single soul in the Motherlobe speaks badly about him, and the reaction to his debraining is either sympathy or horror depending on the person. He is ''not'' a nice person in reality.

* ChekhovsGunman: His existence is briefly mentioned inside of Cruller's Correspondence, long before hie current involvement in the story is revealed.
