Added DiffLines:

** For most of the film, the Fairy King seems blissfully ignorant of Roland's worst qualities, and still sees him as a perfect suitor for Marianne in spite of all the evidence suggesting otherwise. However, when Roland finally uses the potion on Marianne after the final battle, [[PapaWolf the King is the first]] [[BigNo to cry out in horror]], clearly finally seeing Roland for the monster he actually is.


Added DiffLines:

* While he doesn't return her (potion-induced) romantic love, the Bog King clearly grows quite fond of Dawn during her time as his prisoner. When Roland attempts to take Dawn hostage during the climactic battle, Bog is just as quick as Marianne to hold him at sword point to protect her.
