* CompleteMonster (''King Leopold's Soliloquy''): [[EvilColonialist King Leopold II of Belgium]] presents himself as a vicious hypocrite and sanctimonious tyrant who subjects the [[UsefulNotes/DemocraticRepublicOfTheCongo Free State of the Congo]] to horrific depravity. Having countless people killed and entire regions depopulated, Leopold demands high taxes and production rates from his supposed subjects, [[AnArmAndALeg cutting off limbs]] or even [[CripplingCastration castrating]] others who cannot meet them. Having people tortured and murdered in huge numbers, Leopold notes one of his mistakes was to have sixty innocents crucified and remarks fewer people would care if he'd them skinned. Uncaring of anything but [[{{Greed}} lining his pockets]], Leopold shows his only sympathy is to himself, indifferent to the half-million corpses he has left in his rush for money.
