* CompleteMonster: The man who takes the name "[[FromNobodyToNightmare Torrence]]" is one of the few still with sight in the world after most of humanity is blinded. Stealing life preservers on a plane crash, even from [[WouldHurtAChild children]], [[ItsAllAboutMe to cushion his fall]], Torrence takes over England as Prime Minister with a bloody coup and enacts a harsh regime to cling to power, causing bloody battles and murdering anyone in his way to stay on top. When encountering the heroes and their adopted children, Torrence abandons his men to die and tries to murder them for spite, even threatening to feed the little girls to the Triffids before trying to kill the hero Ben for pure spite.

Unapproved Magnificent Bastard entry.


* MagnificentBastard: Torrence is possessed of a singular charm and wit that makes it easy to see why his men follow him so blindly.
