* JerkassWoobie: Alec. He does some pretty awful things (like picking fights with other swordsmen so he can watch Richard kill them) and he's regularly sarcastic, bitter, and cruel, even to people he loves--but once you've gotten a sense of just ''how'' screwed up he is and why, it's hard not to feel sorry for him in spite of his behavior.
