Added DiffLines:

* AntiVillain: Fawkes was clearly a religious terrorist, about to blow up all of British government in order to install a Catholic dictatorship. But his coolness under interrogation (until torture broke him) impressed even King James I himself[[note]]He personally oversaw the early stages of questioning and by the laws of the time had to sign off on using torture.[[/note]], and Fawkes' dedication to the task generated some respect even among those who would have been his victims.


Added DiffLines:

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: He was one of a number of men who took part in the plot, although Fawkes did a lot of the heavy lifting. Because he was the one caught in the act with the gunpowder, and due to the torture he endured to make him give up his fellow conspirators, the public saw him take on a leading role and made him the figure most related to the plot (and to the Bonfire Night that now honors the event).
