That last line is of course a joke, but the Gilles de Geus comic really does exist (by Dutch cartoonists Hanco Kolk and Peter de Wit, published by Silvester), and De Bekkentrekker is a real character in them (he\\\'s the main villain in album 5 \\\"Smeerenburg\\\" and occurs as another villain\\\'s dragon in album 7 \\\"De Batavia\\\".) While he is played for laughs at times, it\\\'s very dark humor indeed, and the two albums in which he appears are very dark and edgy compared to the other albums.

And yes, he really does talk like that, my joke was a slight adaption of his retort to a Spanish captain demanding him to surrender. I wanted to give you all an impression of what he\\\'s like. In fact, a stunned \\\"...he\\\'s joking, isn\\\'t he!?\\\" is a common reaction to this character. And it\\\'s made very clear that no, he\\\'s not.

A short list of some of his atrocities:
* Brutally intimidates characters smaller and weaker than him.
* Savagely beats up his own minions when his plans fail- or succeed for that matter, in the latter case he just does it because it\\\'s fun.
* After being saved from drowning by the hero, nearly drowns the hero \\\"so they\\\'ll be even\\\".
* Subjects people who crossed him to the \\\"Ice and Fire test\\\": An unarmed fight with a polar bear, in an arena surrounded by fire.
* Decapitates some of his own minions just for laughs.
* Throws the hero overboard a ship in a storm immediately after reaching an EnemyMine agreement, which he himself proposed.
* Fires guns at a minion at point blank range (a very near miss), just so they\\\'ll work harder.
* Uses a character as a living bridge to cross a hazard, and expresses regret that he didn\\\'t bring his spiked shoes.

During his second appearance, he (and many other characters) get possessed by an evil artifact - but said artifact is in the end revealed to be unable to actually turn someone evil (the hero gets possessed too, but remains a hero), it can only amplify the worst trait in a person. The worst trait of De Bekkentrekker is his boundless cruelty, which is already so strong that the artifact barely changes him at all.

\\\"Shh, be quiet. I\\\'m not gonna stab you to death.... I\\\'ll cut you open and strangle you with your own intestines... Death! DEATH! Ghah ghah ghah ghah!\\\"
