* ArcVillain: Of The first major villain Anebriate and co. face. The primary goal of the first part of the game.story arc is to remove him from power.

Added DiffLines:

* VillainHasAPoint: When finally confronted in his castle, Steve correctly points out that Anebriate and the others betrayed his trust first by denying him his share of the war spoils. He also notes that Palmer used a large amount of the blood money gotten from the war to create a church, and presented himself as a saint. Of course, he takes his vengeance way beyond what is necessary, [[Hypocrite to the point that he comes off looking no better than the heroes.]]

* AntiHero: He's a HUGE far-cry from the typical RPG hero, to say the least; he'll do the heroic thing when he needs to, but he's selfish, a drinker, a moron most of the time and a major-league asshat in general. He gets better as the game goes along, but he very much remains an atypical hero.



* IdiotHero: A textbook example; Anebriate is prone to spacing out, making bone-headed remarks, forgetting what he's doing, and is often unaware of the immediate dangers of the situations he finds himself in. In spite of his stupidity, he's nonetheless a dependable friend and very capable in combat when the chips are down.
* InformedFlaw: Apparently he's overweight, which most [=NPCs=] chastise him for.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He has a history of one-upping Anebriate in almost everything they compete in. However, it's possible for the player to win a difficult drinking contest against him to avert this trope. This is also averted when he and Anebriate join different factions in Hobotropolis, only for Anebriate's faction to come out on top.

* PetTheDog: After Anebriate's party is defeated by the China kidnapper, Antoxicate looks after Anebriate while he's unconscious. He also congratulates Anebriate after the latter solves the China incident.
* TheRival: Every time he appears, the rival theme from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' plays just to lampshade this trope.
* SkewedPriorities: During the China incident, he refuses to give Anebriate his piece of the puzzle unless the latter beats him in a drinking contest.
* TheUnfought: Despite his status as being AlwaysSomeoneBetter to Anebriate, he's never fought at all.
* UnknownRival: Played with, since they were already rivals to begin with, but after defeating the Old One, Anebriate will learn that Antoxicate was working for either Greg or Wesley depending on who Anebriate joined. At this point, this knowledge doesn't matter because Anebriate's side already took over Hobotropolis.
