* GeniusDitz: Granted, he isn't the smartest person out there, but Tybalt does manage to display a few notable moments of intelligence. He easily manages to deduce that Romeo is wearing a PaperThinDisguise by recognising his voice and [[spoiler:goes for the killing blow when Mercutio challenges Tybalt to a dance battle ''in the middle of a battle to the death.'']] However, for every intelligent moment Tybalt has, he manages to screw it up during said moments of intelligence by being terrible at long term planning. He tries to provoke Romeo into fighting him in spite of the fact that the two are in a public area, not to mention that the Prince is also at the party and, since Lord Capulet doesn't know who Romeo is or that a Montague is at his party, would try to break up the fight as quickly as possible. As such, Tybalt is swiftly kicked out of the party by Lord Capulet.
**[[spoiler:Another example occurs during his final battle. Instead of trying to fight Romeo head on when he has the chance, he instead states his reasoning why he should restart the fight directly after Mercutio's death, completely unaware of the fact that Romeo was busy mourning the loss of his best friend. He also gives Romeo ample time of monologue about Raid: Shadow Legends instead of killing him then and there, though that could be due either waiting for a proper fight, or HonourBeforeReason.]]

He is charismatic enough to woo Lord and Lady Capulet and weasel his way onto their side (though that’s mostly because of the wealth he possesses), but whenever he tries to flirt with Juliet, all of his social skills are thrown out the window to make way for some absolutely potent CringeComedy.

* GreaterScopeVillain: A bit iffy on the villain side, but he still qualifies. The only reason the marriage plot was concocted in the first place [[spoiler:(aside to kick Juliet out of the house for “freeloading”)]] was to inherit his vast fortune. It’s also implied that he is far more wealthy than the Capulets, and has some degree of control over the family. Despite this, Lord Capulet is still the mastermind behind the marriage plot, leaving him to be the direct BigBad.

* FriendlyEnemy: Being the mastermind of Juliet’s forced wedding and the source of Juliet’s misery, you’d be surprised to see that he is extremely kind to Romeo during their first and only proper encounter. {{Justified}}, since Lord Capulet doesn’t know that he’s talking to the one person who could potentially ruin his plans.



* HarmlessVillain: Despite being the main villain, he serves zero threat to Romeo, Mercutio, Benvolio and even Juliet, despite being the overseer of the latter’s forced marriage to Paris. Even the Apothecary manages to be more of a threat, and he isn’t even an actual villain, just a neutral character.
