History PlayingWith / EntitledBastard

** Because of his entitlement, it turns out that in a major vote that could have fixed some serious problems (or started to fix anything at the very least), it fails by several votes - [[NiceJobBreakingItHero David and his group's votes]]. And then they immediately start pointing fingers at everyone else, while proclaiming their own moral purity. David and his gang are ultimately subjected to a vicious TheReasonYouSuckSpeech by everyone around him for being such a flagrant hypocrite, constantly preening about his own moral superiority while actively obstructing or [[BystanderSyndrome standing by doing nothing]]. David refuses to internalize this, and his followers are just as selfish and cruel as he is.

-> Lucas: Shouldn't we leave him behind?
-> Bianca: Well, he probably won't thank us, sooo...
-> Marcy: Nah, we ditch him.
-> Pike: HAH! Ya think he'd be grateful after we grab his ass and save him!? Hell no! Let's bounce! Drinks on me!

* '''Played For Drama''': Marcy and Pike have been flirting with [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope taking a slide down the slippery slope]] into darker territory. During an attack on the city, they're separated from their comrades, and discover an injured, pinned Wesley -- who, upon spotting them, starts ''demanding'' their help. With no other obvious witnesses around, [[WhatYouAreInTheDark No one will ever know]] if they just... leave him to his fate. Or maybe even help him along...

** After hiring the heroes to escort him across dangerous, Wesley spends the entire the heroes to perform various menial task that are not explicitly part of the contract, simply because they never agreed not to perform them. When it comes time to pay, Wesley hesitates, only doing so to maintain his image.

* '''Justified''': Wesley happens to be related to a powerful local lord, who would make an even more powerful enemy with a very personal grudge against the heroes if he thought they'd just let Wesley die.

* '''Downplayed''': After insulting them using PassiveAggressiveKombat and {{Stealth Insult}}s and making subtle sarcastic remarks at their expense, Welsey expects them to help him with his laundry.

** Pike treats Wesley, who can't fight very well, like his own personal ButtMonkey, but when the heroes need [[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts more money for equipment]], he expects Wesley to foot the bill.

** Alternately: Despite seeming like a buffoonish {{Jerkass}}, Wesley is surprisingly capable of taking care of himself and doesn't have to ask the heroes for help.
** Alternately: Wesley's father Lord Robert has become very grateful to Lucas and his friends for constantly saving his son's sorry hide. He is also becoming increasingly fed up with his son's ridiculous sense of entitlement, which is causing Lord Robert all kinds of diplomatic headaches. When Wesley lashes out at them one too many times, Lord Robert finally has enough and starts yelling at his son to either start showing some proper gratitude to Lucas and his friends or grow a pair and start taking better care of himself.

** Alternately: Though better than expected, Wesley's {{pride}} eventually means he gets into a situation he ''can't'' fight his way out of, and starts demanding aid from the heroes instead.

* '''Defied''': Wesley refuses to call for their help, out of {{Pride}}. He'll deal with this situation alone or die trying, but he ''won't'' make a fool of himself by calling on "''[[AllOfTheOtherReindeer those]]'' cretins!"

** Alternatively, the heroes leave Wesley to his fate (or at least ''seriously'' consider it before deciding that since they're ''heroes'', [[SamaritanSyndrome they'll save him anyways]].)

** [[CosmicPlaything Wes]][[TheWoobie ley]] is an ExtremeDoormat that, [[KickTheDog intentionally]] or [[InnocentlyInsensitive not]], keeps being mistreated by Lucas' party, and always insists for them to [[IWillOnlySlowYouDown "Save yourselves! I'll only slow you down!"]] each time that they're attacked by Evulz' forces. Due to the party [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther actually caring about his well-being]] despite how they normally act, they never do as he says.

* '''Enforced''': The story is a commentary on UpstairsDownstairs type class tension, so most nobles are like Wesley.

** Wesley is an ''unentitled'' person. He had neither any privilege nor right to mistreat anyone he likes, including the heroes. He also lacks a belief that he should have an opinion on everything and everyone, behaving like a humble prisoner and a slave to the heroes, even when in trouble. Likewise, he doesn't expect anything and finds zero points of complaining.
