A grossly obese robber baron from the turn of the century.
----
* ConspicuousConsumption: Used to engage in this in a literal sense, eating vast feasts that eventually gave him multiple heart attacks. Later, he'd do this even as a Kindred.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Was one of the original RobberBaron types who helped make American capitalism.
* {{Expy}}: One for Sydney Greenstreet's character in ''Film/TheMalteseFalcon'' and in recent years the Kingdom from the Netflix incarnation of ''Series/{{Daredevil}}''
* FatBastard: Is this incarnate. Not only is he obese to a horrific degree but he's a horrible monster both in his personal as well as professional life.
* Fiction500: Used to be one of the richest vampires in the world. He lost the majority of his personal fortune in the early 21st century.
* GracefulLoser: Unlike Capone, holds very little onerous to Kevin Jackson for beating him to the Princedom.
* KickTheDog:
** Destroyed the American steel industry in order to punish Modius in the town of Gary.
** Used to go to a restaraunt, order vast amounts of food, and then throw it up despite how it appalled guests.
* LighterAndSofter: His character used to be an implied pedophile who fed on his family's children. That was removed in V5 and he feeds on all of his family now.
* UncannyValley: In-universe. His 5th Edition write-up emphasizes that his body does not move like a normal human beings due to how his girth is essentially rock solid.
