History PlayingWith / EntitledBastard

* '''Parodied''': Wesley is so [[SpoiledBrat spoiled]] and conceited he inadvertently causes a peasant revolution when he belittles Lucas and Co. in front of the [[TrainingThePeacefulVillagers armed villagers]] they previously saved. With his titles revoked and his upper cl''ass'' in jail, Lucas and co. free him on bail and have him do demeaning menial service for them.

** Wesley is an ''unentitled'' person. He had neither anuy 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, acting like a humble prisoner and a slave.

* '''Inverted''': 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.

* '''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, NoOneWillEverKnow if they just... leave him to his fate. Or maybe even help him along...

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

'''Basic Trope''': JerkAss who mistreats the heroes, yet expects them to drop everything and help when the JerkAss is in trouble.

** 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.

* '''Deconstructed''':
** Wesley is emblematic of an out of touch ruling class, and his progressively shriller and more heartless demands lead Pike and Lucas to violently disagree on just how much they're supposed to put up with. Once the team disbands, the Emperor's forces meet no resistance.
** 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]].)
* '''Reconstructed''': Marcy and Bianca notice how Wesley is dividing his protectors, and use a mix of threats, persuasion, and blackmail to teach him a lesson and get him to shut up and stay quiet for the sake of their chances of success.

* '''Subverted''': When Wesley is threatened, he whimpers to Lucas that "I know I've treated you poorly in the past, and that I shouldn't expect you to help me now..."

* '''Double Subverted''': "...But ''DO IT ANYWAY!''"

* '''Enforced''': The story is a comentary on UpstairsDownstairs type class tension, so most nobles are like Wesley.
* '''Lampshaded''': "If Wesley (or any of our ''other'' noble clients) were actually grateful, they wouldn't be the target of so many uprisings and kidnappings, and we'd be out of a job."
