* CompleteMonster: The sinister [[FauxAffablyEvil John Gray]], "evil himself", is a cabman by day and [[GraveRobbing a grave robber]] by night. Gray digs up cadavers to provide to his associate, Dr. "Toddy" [=MacFarlane=], and he shows off the kind of man he is by [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals braining a dog with his shovel]] when it almost gives him away. Eventually, taking inspiration from the old case of Burke and Hare, Gray murders a harmless, blind street singer to give her corpse to [=MacFarlane=]. When Gray's assistant Joseph tries to blackmail him, [[EvilerThanThou Gray laughs, smothers him to death, and presents his body to "Toddy" as a sick gift]]. Gray finally admits he puts [=MacFarlane=] through such [[MindRape psychological torture]] just [[ForTheEvulz for the pleasure of having a rich man bent to his whims]], and he vows he'll never stop tormenting [=MacFarlane=]. Gray haunts [=MacFarlane=] even past his own death, having broken the doctor beyond the point of all recovery, and his words follow [=MacFarlane=] to his untimely death: "you'll ''never'' be rid of me, Toddy!"
* HoYay: Gray's obsession with [=MacFarlane=] has him try to be an all-encompassing, all controlling figure in Gray's life, and he seems unable to settle on either being [=MacFarlane's=] tormentor or his friend. Plus [=MacFarlane's=] embarrassment over their history together sounds like a shameful past relationship.
