History Characters / ShrekAntagonists

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His outfit is mostly red and black (with some gold) and as the rest of this page can tell you, he is ''not'' a good man.

** In all honesty, her entire plan to put Charming on the throne is this. She intended to have Charming be the one to rescue Fiona and break her curse, but as shown in ''Forever After'', he would've never been able to break it because he wasn't her OneTrueLove and would've never been able to make Fiona fall in love with him like Shrek did when they first met. And that's not counting the presence of a dragon, that have easily killed dozens of knights, and against which Shrek and Donkey were only successful into rescuing Fiona because they ran from and outsmarted her instead of trying to fight her. You'd think a Fairy Godmother would realize that you can't fake true love like that, especially when it has something like ''breaking a magical curse''. There was no point in sending Charming without definitive proof he was Fiona's true love, otherwise she might very well have gotten him killed.

* SuicidalGotcha!: Villainous version. In the climax Rumpel is cornered by the ogre warriors and jumps backward off the balcony, causing them all to gasp. He then appears riding Fifi, his giant pet goose and says "So long!".

* ComfortFood: She enjoys eating junk food to relieve stress. Her first scene with King Harold has her stopping at a fast-food restaurant to take out a combo meal, exclaiming that her diet is ruined. Later, after seeing the mess her workshop was left in, she orders one of her workers to bring her a chocolate-themed dessert.

-->'''Farquaad:''' ''[to Fiona, after she states she was saying goodbye to Shrek]'' That is so ''precious''. You don't need to waste good manners on the ogre! ''[chuckling, then glaring at Shrek]'' It's not like it has feelings.

* XanatosGambit: When Shrek defeats the knights he gathered for TheTourney, he promises to give him ownership of the swamp in which he lives and put the captured fairy tale creatures somewhere else... if he comes back to Duloc with Princess Fiona. He can claim victory whether Shrek succeeds or fails: if Shrek succeeds, he has Fiona, hasn't risked the lives of any of his men, and only has to give up a bit of swampland; if Shrek fails, he'll have one less nuisance to deal with and can always send someone else to do the job.
* XanatosSpeedChess: His initial plan is to hold a tournament to determine who the first knight he'll send for Fiona will be. When Shrek shows up, he decides to name the knight who can kill Shrek his champion and send him to go and save Fiona. When Shrek beats them all, he simply declares Shrek the champion and cuts a deal with him.

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:As cranky and abusive she was, it can be argued that Fifi didn't do anything evil enough to be blown up by Fiona's singing.]]

%%* PrettyBoy: Easily the prettiest male character in the series. Most likely {{invoked|Trope}}.
