* LowerClassLout: Purposefully downplayed according to [[WordOfGod Word Of Vox]] to avoid UnfortunateImplications. He's smart enough to know Equestria's laws (thanks to his own brushes with it) and thus realizes that the Loyalists could be seen as traitors to the Crown, and manages to ambush a skilled human combatant using stolen knockout gas. That said, Fuse does fit the archetype of the prejudiced hick who regards any kind of change with open suspicion and hostility in many respects.
