* ContractualGenreBlindness: Lord Harry Dread always hires stupid (and [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy inattentive]]) minions, builds escapable dungeons and leaves caches of food, medicine and weapons for heroes to find, because that's how things are done, and in return he profits from his ventures ([[EvilAlwaysTriumphsInTheMiddle until the third act]]), [[VillainExitStageLeft always escapes to try again]], and both their reputations are enhanced. This is also the stated reason he is the ''last'' EvilOverlord; other than the Silver Horde, no-one plays by the Code any more, so they don't escape. He's also a ''Series/OnlyFoolsAndHorses'' joke of sorts, or possibly a ''CMOT Dibbler'' one, with various references to the "Shed of Doom" and so on.

He also knows how to read and do sums, a necessary skill when you need to have the henchmen on payroll and need to pay dungeon contractors.
