* InconspicuousImmortal: The eponymous Doctor's immortality is the result of a wager with the Devil to prove that imagination can save more souls than the Devil can damn through corruption, but after finding exactly one moment of success followed by centuries of failure, Parnassus has become so disillusioned with the whole thing that he can barely give a damn about his mission; he just wants to live a normal life with his daughter Valentina, and can only go through the motions of running the Imaginarium on the few evenings when he isn't completely shitfaced. For good measure, his financial situation is so dire that he's ended up homeless more than once.

It's subverted when we see the portable stage conceals a portal that leads audience members into Parnassus' mind and shows them their literal wildest dreams... but thanks to the influence of Mr Nick, the dreams can easily turn fatal if the participants can't resist their baser instincts, making it a complicated Villainous example.
