* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Despite his arrogant demeanor, he has some moments that suggest he's not a bad person deep down. He's willing to acknowledge when the player has accomplished something and even helps you out if you're having trouble in Episode 9. [[spoiler:Then he kidnaps you in Episode 10, reveals himself to be a terrorist, and kills you.]]

* ManChild: Maybe. He has a shrill, whiny voice, cries for his uncle when you punch him in the nose, and uses bizarre minced oaths like "begiddley" and "bejiminey" in place of stronger language used elsewhere in the series like "hell."

* FatalFlaw: His hardheadedness and free-spirited personality ''constantly'' bite Ted in the back. As the court case finds, Ted was under the influence of drugs when he threatened to blow up the Klink International building and truly could not have kidnapped his kids or murdered anyone because he had several airtight alibis placing him at a pizza parlor at the other side of town when Angela was killed. He'd have been out of jail within a week or two if he didn't ''constantly'' try to escape prison and accidentally incriminate himself in his efforts to be 'free,' and he'd have a ''far'' easier time endearing himself to people if he wasn't so stubborn and prone to angry outbursts. By the end of the series, he still looks like a likely suspect for two more murders and could be set up as a fall guy if [[spoiler:the attempt to frame Yale doesn't pan out]] simply because he refused to just let the system work things out. This can even get him set up to die or put in prison for life in some of the last episode's endings.

* ItsAllAboutMe: He'll express sympathy for his son in law's situation and rail against the idea of [[spoiler:Yale being framed for a murder Duke committed on Rolf's orders - at least until the defense counsel explains Rolf will end up looking like the most likely suspect if Yale ''isn't'' given the mounting evidence against him and his operatives that will only look worse if the defense counsel suddenly dies.]]
Added DiffLines:
* PetTheDog: Ultimately subverted. At first, he [[spoiler:balks at the idea of framing Yale for the murder of Angela because, for all his acknowledged faults, Yale is both his son and ''not'' a murderer. However, he will quickly change his tune and go along with a plan to shift blame to his son in law once the defense counsel makes it clear to him that Ted is a poor choice for a frame job given his alibi and Bridget has a solid case built in her favor at this point - meaning if Rolf ''doesn't'' frame his son in law or goes through with killing the defense counsel, the evidence will ''very'' quickly point back at him and Duke... and [[ItsAllAboutMe he just can't have that, now can he?]]]]

* EqualOpportunityEvil: Zigzagged. He is more than happy to accommodate Yale up to a point and takes no issue with a black man being his son in law and eventual successor. ''Like'' Yale, however, he has very strict views on traditional gender roles, and considers Yale's adultery to be more of a speedbump his daughter and son should get over rather than the potentially marriage-ending issue it actually is. He subscribes heavily to masculinity and will berate Yale about not addressing the issue quickly and decisively if their couple's counseling doesn't go well.
