* SmugSnake: Both before and after he takes the crown from Hoborg and puts it on, he taunts him and [[EvilGloating gloats about it]]. He also comes off as very self-aggrandizing in his interactions with Klaymen. His downfall is ultimately that he fails to get rid of Klaymen at every step, and trying a last minute WeCanRuleTogether gambit bites him in both endings - either Klaymen gives the crown back to Hoborg, or puts it on himself and then decides ICanRuleAlone and lays Klogg out.
