Most of his LargeHam moments are direct quotes from some of the more brutal Shakespeare works, including ''Hamlet'', ''Julius Caesar'', and ''Henry V''.

In the official novelization of the film and other spin-off media he's actually in on the conspiracy, and after the destruction of Chang's ship is left as its highest-ranking member, which leads to a very nasty case of DeathByAdaptation.
