* AintTooProudToBeg: Once the module reaches his end, he comes crawling on his hands and knees begging for the players' help to pay off his loan... [[NeverMyVault denying or ignoring any accusations of sabotage]].
* ArcVillain: Serves as the closest thing to an actual antagonist during the events of Chapter 2. However, he's far from the biggest threat the players can face.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Frewn sinks money into showy expenses, especially with most of his finances sunken into the pub, but his habit of cutting corners can make him easy to sabotage. He also openly defies and makes enemies of Waterdeep's guilds... which would be impressive if the guilds weren't powerful enough to antagonize and potentially ruin his business if they wanted to. He's to show the players just what happens to those who cross the guilds.
* BigBadWannabe: Frewn may be a threat in terms of business competition prior to the WhamEpisode of Fireball, but he's just as small-time as the players, if not moreso, than the module's actual antagonists. And unlike them, he doesn't have actual friends to back it up. He also doesn't have much-staying power should the players discover the wererats he sends after them, since he only has about 50 gp to his name via a loan.
* BrilliantButLazy: Frewn has good ideas of how to run a rival business, but he tends to shirk money on small but important amenities.
* BotheringByTheBook: His ultimate goal is to run the players out of business, but he needs enough sabotage done to force the City Watch to shut them down.
* CheatersNeverProsper: Frequently attempts to cheat in his business practices. It causes him more harm more often than not.
* DrivenByEnvy: His antagonism to the players is that he's jealous of them owning Trollskull Manor, and wants to run them out of business.
* HateSink: Exists solely so the players have a nemesis to fill in Chapter 2 during their downtime, and goes about it in the most corrupt way he could for a commoner.

Four is a deadly encounter for a level 2 party regardless of the size if the Shard Shunners are uncovered. [[HeKnowsTooMuch It's almost as if the Shard Shunners intend to murder the party if found out]].
