* Enemies: [[Pantheon/{{Officers}} Dirty Harry, Inspector Javert]], rapists
* Thelma and Louise are two friends who decided to go on a short vacation together to escape their humdrum lives for a few days. Those plans were quickly derailed when Thelma was nearly raped and Louise shot the man dead. Believing that pleading self-defense wouldn't fly and they would be wanted for murder, they went on the lam and planned to cross the border to Mexico. Then Louise's savings, which would have allowed them to start a new life, were stolen, leading Thelma to rob a store, so they became wanted for both suspected murder and theft. In the end, the two were cornered by the FBI on a cliff overlooking the Grand Canyon. Instead of letting themselves get caught, they drove off the cliff to whatever fate awaited them.
* Instead of dying in a ball of fire after pulling that stunt, the two friends safely landed in an entirely different reality that the feds had no chance of chasing them into. They decided not to question this literally fantastic stroke of luck, whooped and high-fived each other, and simply kept going on the road they found themselves on, eventually arriving at a beachside bar where they could rest and drink some margaritas, like they said they would if they ever managed to cross the border, and ponder their new surroundings, which were most definitely not Mexico. While doing this, they coincidentally met the traveling biker Kino who had decided to stop there for a bit, and she helpfully explained the Pantheon to them. She also told them they should continue on the road they're on and they'll eventually reach the Main House. Thelma and Louise followed that advice and the Main House bestowed them with permanent residence in the Pantheon, becoming free to do as they liked within these realms, with no FBI on their tails or crappy husbands to hassle them.
* Granted, not every law enforcer in the Pantheon believes they should be let go without paying for their crimes in some way, but most deities (including some cops) agree there are bigger fish to fry than two humans who were driven to crime because of some very understandable extenuating circumstances. Even in their world, there was Hal Slocumb, a detective who was very sympathetic to the duo, though he was ultimately powerless to save them. In the Pantheon, Slocumb's sentiment is replicated by Cole Phelps, a by-the-book cop who, in addition to being a compassionate, unprejudiced and all-around nice guy (war crimes and infidelity notwithstanding), can also relate to Thelma and Louise's decision to die free (as he did) instead of turning themselves over. Even so, Cole does still think they should face some kind of penalty for the crimes they did commit, albeit not one that's too harsh. Because of this, he has never personally met with Thelma and Louise, who stay away from anyone who wants them in jail, although he sometimes has amiccable talks with them over the phone and defends them from more ruthless cops.
* One of those ruthless cops that especially gives Thelma and Louise trouble is Dirty Harry, who's famous for his loose cannon approach to apprehending criminals, often to the point of killing them with little question. Harry is not wholly devoid of sympathy for Thelma and Louise, and likely would have made their rapists pay very dearly if he ever got his hands on them, but the string of crimes the two women have committed has him convinced they need to be stopped, and if bleeding hearts like Cole aren't up for it, Harry will simply save them the trouble. Thelma and Louise are mostly reminded of the "Nazi cop" they dealt with at one point, although Harry seems a lot tougher to handle than that guy. That said, Harry also turns away from them if there are more dangerous criminals on the loose at the moment. You can't say he doesn't have his priorities right, unlike Javert whose almost robotic devotion to the law means he is even more determined to arrest the duo, though even he has to begrudgingly let them go whenever he gets assigned a mission of greater priority.
* Some lawyers have come forward on Cole's wake and proclaim that they would do their very best to defend Thelma and Louise in court if they ever were caught or voluntarily turned themselves in. Louise can't help but quip that those claims might mean those lawyers aren't in the habit of trying their very best. Despite that bitterly sarcastic remark, the CrusadingLawyer Phoenix Wright and his colleagues can see where Louise is coming from, what with the many self-interested attorneys in existence that Phoenix himself has contended with. However, he steadfastly remains on the two women's side and proving their innocence. Louise has to concede Phoenix might be the real deal, if only because she's never seen an attorney so passionate about a case. Still, she and Thelma would rather keep chasing their freedom away from the system.
* So Thelma and Louise are effectively still on the lam in the Pantheon. Thankfully their situation this time around is less urgent due to the local police forces having a lot on their hands, what with dealing with some truly heinous and resourceful criminals. And for the times when the cops can afford to turn their attention on them, they have some allies willing to help them out in their escapes. Two of them are the outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, who certainly know what it's like to [[BolivianArmyEnding take a chance when faced with terrible odds]] and admire their guts in driving off the Grand Canyon to escape the law. Given Butch and Sundance are also wanted by the law, they've taken advantage of that fact to distract the cops from chasing Thelma and Louise. The two women have mused that they didn't exactly set out to associate themselves with infamous bandits, but things being as they are, they figure they'd rather have Butch and Sundance's help than not, and with this in mind, the two women have paid them back by giving them a hand in similar situations.
* Whenever they need to stop by the House of Food to charge batteries, they can count on the discrete support of the ex-cons Noah and Joker, two men who had an adventure trying to escape prison while hand-cuffed to each other. They've stopped being wanted by the law since doing their time, ascending and getting an honest job at the House of Food, but they're not the least bit interested in ratting out Thelma and Louise since they've all had similar experiences. It should be noted Thelma and Louise initially didn't like Joker all that much since he's an asshole and they were worried he was not that different from some of the men they've dealt with after seeing him try to come on to them, but Noah cut in and told them enough embarrassing stories about Joker (much to his chagrin) that assured them that he was no threat, but despite all that, Joker's loyalty to them is the real deal, same as Noah.
* They also get aid from Jesse Pinkman, a former drug dealer who is on the run from the law for his activities while trying to find his own way to atone for them. Given Jesse has never been caught, Thelma and Louise are willing to listen his expertise on the matter, and his status as TheAtoner makes him trustworthy in their eyes regardless of him having had a very shady past. The best piece of advice Jesse can give them is to get new identities as he's been known to do, although the duo are not sure that would be effective since their faces are fairly well-known around the Pantheon (especially, and most importantly, among cops) and just changing names is unlikely to cut it. Even if they don't go for that, Jesse is still up for giving them a hiding place from the law when they need it.
* It might well be the case that the reason Thelma and Louise refuse to turn themselves in, even with the amount of law officials and other people on their side that would make their lives easier, is because they actually enjoy the adventure. If there's someone who can agree with that sentiment, it's Omar Little, whom Thelma and Louise met when he randomly hopped on the back of their T-Bird and begged them to make a getaway, and they just went with it, with Thelma holding him at gunpoint just in case. That caution stopped as they became acquainted with each other and Omar told them about his activities, which mainly consist of him committing crimes on other criminals that decidedly have it coming. Thelma and Louise can get behind that philosophy and so have told Omar he can call them up if he ever needs their help for another getaway. Omar in turn is determined to defend those two from those who'd wrong them, especially as they've been wronged enough already.
* A more unusual type of ally for them proved to be William Wallace, a Scottish warrior from the Middle Ages who fought the English for his people's freedom. As he would not submit to the English even when they tortured him to a gruesome death, it shouldn't be surprising that he respects Thelma and Louise for also choosing freedom even if it came at the price of their deaths. This means he will lend his aid to the duo on occasion, which has led to the ''interesting'' sight of Wallace riding over a hill at the head of his army to intercept the cops as they chase Thelma and Louise, which always causes the cops to drive away in terror before they're put to the warriors' swords (it's not mere guns that will stop Wallace and his companions).
* There are times when they are able to just cruise around at their leisure, despite everything. It was on one of these times that they met the drag queen trio of Anthony, Adam and Bernadette, who also tend to be on the road a lot for their performances. Considering how they are all outcasts from mainstream society in different ways, they hit it off well from the first encounter. While the "queens" are not criminals, it's not at all in their interest to help out the cops or rat out two fellow friends of Dorothy, as they suspect Thelma and Louise to be; the two women remain rather vague as to what their relationship with each other is, exactly, perhaps because even they are still trying to figure it out after that heat-of-the-moment kiss they shared. Whatever the case might be, the two like the drag queens' company and sense of found family, and those three have their backs.

* Kassandra and Alexios were both surprised and overjoyed to be reunited with their grandfather Leonidas, who was quite saddened to learn of what had happened to his family after his death, as the Cult of Kosmos had previously threatened Leonidas not to go against their plans and tried to wipe out his bloodline after he defied them. Leonidas was particularly disappointed to learn that Alexios [[spoiler:was unable to forsake the Cult and redeem himself and goaded Kassandra into killing him]]. However, Alexios insisted that his vision for the Cult was going to be better than what Leonidas had dealt with, although Kassandra and Leonidas himself expressed strong skepticism about his goals.

The King, meanwhile, considers Annabeth a daughter after his own heart, thus giving her two nigh-unkillable protectors.
* Leonidas respects President Whitmore because of how effective his RousingSpeech was, comparing it to his own riling of the Spartan troops [[DoNotGoGentle against the wave of the Persians]]. While Whitmore appreciates the compliment and his own charisma, he doesn't agree with TheSpartanWay and in spite of (or even because of) being a war-time president he really doesn't like the Pantheon/HoundsOfWar.

* Despite disrespecting the Roman gods, Leonidas couldn't help but admire Astérix's tenacity to defend his home world against constant threats.
* Very few try to interact with Ludwig despite some of the newer conditions present. Most are warriors of some kind as his visions of what the Church hunters he taught drew inspiration from them. His restoration is what brought Leonidas' some form of interest, seeing that the spartan himself has read the tales of the Healing Church and how Ludwig treated his compatriots similarly like how spartans treat each other, as some sort of battle-brother if you will. And while he praises Ludwig's efforts, one thing has to be said about him and that to tell Ludwig the [[BrutalHonesty actual truth of his warriors]] will cause him to snap and lash out in pure beastial rage. This makes him rather cautious when speaking to him as he may inadvertently cause him to do such.

* Pvt. Vasili Ivanovich Koslov was a Red Army Soldier who fought in the Battles of Moscow and Stalingrad, two of the fiercest urban battles of the Great Patriotic War.
* Deciding to join the Red Army after the Wehrmacht had killed several of his relatives following Operation ''Barbarossa'', he ended up as part of the 13th Guards Rifle Division, an elite infantry division in the Red Army that would be known for its heroic efforts in the Battle of Stalingrad.
* During the Battle of Moscow, he was pretty much a NewMeat who had never held a rifle until that point. Despite this, he proves to be a crack shot with the Mosin-Nagant rifle. And these skills come in handy not long after, when he and the rest of his unit are immediately pressed into fighting against far more experienced German infantry units.
* By the time of the Battle of Stalingrad, Vasili Ivanovich Koslov is already an ExperiencedProtagonist, having killed dozens if not hundreds of Germans, while also surviving the hellish and wintry landscape of Stalingrad. He also becomes a competent ColdSniper, killing quite a few German snipers and machine gunners while retaking the German-occupied parts of the city in January 1943.
* His last known actions during the Battle of Stalingrad would be the retaking of the Stalingrad City Hall, on January 15, 1943. He was last seen alongside his superior officer, Lt. Dimitri Volsky, firing back at retreating German forces. Following this ordeal, he was never heard from again.
* And so, thanks to his valuable combat experience, it was decided to ascend Pvt. Koslov into the Pantheon, as the '''Representative of [[UrbanWarfare House-to-House Combat]]'''. This was arranged by fellow Soviet soldiers and Stalingrad veterans Capt. Viktor Reznov and Pvt. Dimitri Petrenko, mainly due to a need for more Soviet personnel who would be willing to oppose Dragovich and his faction.
** Originally, it was intended to ascend Koslov alongside two other veterans of the Battle of Stalingrad. Pvt. Aleksandr Sokolov and Sgt. Alexei Ivanovich Voronin, like Koslov, were also members of the 13th Guards Rifle Division who had fought at Stalingrad. And, like Koslov, they both became highly skilled tacticians with regards to urban fighting. However, their actions were less well-known, with [[TheFaceless Voronin's face being anonymous]] and Sokolov mostly acting as a DecoyProtagonist in his own story, so it was eventually decided to have them serve as Pvt. Koslov's heralds, as their combat experience in urban environments was still very much coveted.
* Upon the Soviet Private's ascension, he's immediately greeted by the aforementioned duo, who immediately hand him an SVT-40 rifle and [=PPSH-41=] submachine gun. Koslov is then briefed by his new comrades, about the German threat in the Pantheon, as well as their traitorous fellow countrymen. With no other viable options, and in a place completely unfamiliar to him, the Private ultimately decides to help Reznov and Petrenko in their RoaringRampageOfRevenge against both the Nazis, now led by HYDRA leader Johann Schmidt, and the rogue Soviet faction, led by Soviet General Nikita Dragovich.
* In combat, Koslov proves once again to be a resourceful soldier, creating an improvised StickyBomb from scraps of TNT, grease, and old sacks and using them against several Nazi tanks and armored cars. While they don't knock out the enemy vehicles outright [[AttackItsWeakPoint unless placed on the engine compartment or fuel tanks]], when placed on tracks or wheels, the bomb in question can disable a vehicle's movement, allowing [[InsertGrenadeHere a soldier to drop a grenade through one of the vehicle's hatches]].
* Upon seeing the Nazis attempting to retreat during another combat outing, Capt. Reznov, Petrenko, and Koslov proceed to charge at them, killing many scared German soldiers in the process. They ultimately hole many of them up in an abandoned office building. In a repeat of his first onscreen mission at Stalingrad, Koslov begins planting sticky bombs on the building's foundations, with Reznov and Petrenko helping their comrade in the process. They end up killing the remaining Nazis, with Reznov and Petrenko agreeing that this was and still is the best way to "negotiate" with Fascists.
* During one combat outing, Koslov manages to meet the other protagonists [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty2 from his respective story]], Lt. Randall, Sgt. Bill Taylor, Sgt. John Davis, and Tank Commander David Welsh. Koslov himself is surprised that he even shared a story with them at all, given that his campaign was pretty much a standalone story all by itself, while the latter, at least, had some connections to their campaigns in the form of the Normandy campaign.
* Koslov gets along well with Sgt. Jack Barnes, who is himself a veteran of the Eastern Front as an observer for the OSS in Berlin. Lt. Karl Fairburne, having fought against DirtyCommunists during his time in Berlin, initially suspects that Koslov is one of Dragovich's men. Thankfully, Reznov, whom Karl has come to trust, explains that the Soviet Private is with him and Pvt. Petrenko, and that they have nothing to do with that treacherous Soviet General.
** Tashkent, whom Reznov was once High Priest to, is ecstatic at the addition of another fellow Soviet with a good track record, to say the least.
** One other deity that massively distrusts Pvt. Koslov is The Heavy, due to his family having been persecuted by the same Soviet regime that Koslov had served under. Seeing the Soviet Guards banner on the Private's Red Army uniform ignites anger in the Russian mercenary.
** Artyom also doesn't trust Koslov at first. This soon changes thanks to Pvt. Dimitri Petrenko, who tells Artyom that Koslov is one of his allies, and that he's not with the likes of Dragovich.
** On the flip side, Vasili absolutely finds folks like Dimitri Rascalov to be just as bad, if not worse, than the Nazis he fights against, despite Dimitri having formerly served in the Soviet Armed Forces. The Soviet Private also hates The Son for similar reasons, not helped by his reputation as an addict.
* Vasili, like many a Soviet or Russian deity, actually respects Olaf and his skills in WinterWarfare. At one point, the latter saves Vasili when he bogs down a German armored column by summoning snow on them, allowing Koslov, Petrenko, and Reznov to wipe the Nazis out.
* When not in combat, Pvt. Koslov demonstrates to his fellow Allied deities and Soviet comrades the training and combat experience he had earned on the Eastern Front, namely how he uses [[StickyBomb improvised anti-tank weapons]] and [[ImprovisedWeapon potatoes as training grenades]]. The former impresses Taylor, Davis, and OSS Lieutenant Mike Powell, while the latter earns the interest of O'Bannon, who asks Koslov to train with her in the art of ImprovFu.
** Sasha Blouse, meanwhile, opposes him for his "senseless" waste of throwing potatoes around.
* Not to be confused with RealLife Soviet sniper Vasili Zaytsev, although this Vasili also becomes a sniper himself, just not to the same notoriety or skill level.

''I lay down on the grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I remembered to have done in my life, and, as I reckoned, about nine hours: for when I awaked, it was just day-light, I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir: for, as I happened to lie on my back, I found my arms and legs were strongly fastened on each side to the ground, and my hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same manner. I likewise felt several slender ligatures across my body, from my arm-pits to my thighs. I could only look upwards: the sun began to grow hot, and the light offended my eyes. I heard a confused noise about me: but in the posture I lay, could see nothing except the sky. In a little time I felt something alive moving on my left leg, which advancing gently forward over my breast, came almost up to my chin; when, bending my eyes downwards as much as I could, I perceived it to be a human creature not six inches high, with a bow and arrow in his hands, and a quiver at his back. In the mean time, I felt at least forty more of the same kind (as I conjectured) following the first.''

* Resume: Pupil at Emmanuel College in Cambridge, and later at Leyden [Leiden] University in Holland. Apprentice Surgeon (James Bates), Maritime surgeon on the ''Swallow '' (Capt. Abraham Pannel), ''Antelope'' (Capt. William Prichard, May 4, 1699 - November 5, 1699), ''Adventure'' (Capt. John Nicholas, June 20, 1702 - June 17, 1703), and ''Hopewell'' (Capt. William Robinson, Aug. 5, 1706 - May 1707). Captain of the ''Adventurer'' (Sep. 7, 1710 - May 1711). Currently unemployed.
* Before this whole misanthropy conundrum befell him, Lemuel Gulliver was actually really sociable; part of the reason for his love of voyages was to become acquainted with the cultures and languages of the peoples he encountered. This is why, during those life-changing four adventures, he didn't have too much of a problem absorbing the tongues of the races he met.
* One cannot converse about Gulliver without discussing his first stop: Lilliput. The enormous size difference between him and the natives, in short, was both a terror and a fascination. As hard as his arrival turned out to be, the next few weeks gave him some opportunities to aid them in more than one difficult struggle.
* The utmost of labors the Emperor was to provide him, the capture of Blefuscu, at first seemed to be one of gilded honor. The reality soon came, shortly afterward, when the Emperor made clear his intentions with Blefuscu and the refugees that took refuge there: ''His majesty desired I would take some other opportunity of bringing all the rest of his enemy's ships into his ports. And so unmeasurable is the ambition of princes, that he seemed to think of nothing less than reducing the whole empire of Blefuscu into a province, and governing it, by a viceroy: of destroying the Big-endian exiles, and compelling that people would break the smaller end of their eggs, by which he would remain the sole monarch of the whole world. But I endeavoured to divert him from this design, by many arguments drawn from the topics of policy as well as justice; and I plainly protested, "that I would never be an instrument of bringing a free and brave people into slavery."'' His disagreement with Lilliput's choice to absorb Blefuscu became the first piece of evidence bringing him closer to his death sentence, an announcement that drove him to swim away to the opposing island. In asking the Blefuscudians for aid, he managed to sail off before the Lilliputian Emperor could finalize the execution.
* Brobdingnag, the isolated nation of giants, saw the sir under the supervision of that island's royals; contrary to common sense, they did not entirely view Gulliver's smallness as too much of an oddity because their servant was a comparatively-short 30 ft (Whereas typical adults there stood twice said servant's height). Much in the same way that the foliage and wildlife of Lilliput and Blefuscu were analogous to how they might size up to normally-sized people, Brobdingnagian organisms are also relative to the size of the people but far larger.
* Even moreso, though, his occupation in the area was a scarring experience. Combine the possibility of being flattened underfoot any day with being tagged as a traveling acrobat every minute and every hour, and you receive the perfect storm.
** Being used as a toy for, ahem, intimate vices, and witnessing a public beheading in all its sanguine grandeur, are also reason to feel irreversibly squicked. Justifiably, this was the first step in his path to spiting humankind.
* While overall undesirable, one aspect of the island provided him a much-needed mental cushion. ''This young girl was so handy,'' spoke regarding one of the mistress' children, ''that after I had once or twice pulled off my clothes before her, she was able to dress and undress me, though I never gave her that trouble when she would let me do either myself.'' From then on, Glumdalclitch, as Gulliver began to call her, toured him nationwide at her superiors' request
* The voyage just after, to Laputa (Eh, [[Anime/CastleInTheSky not that one]]), became a mind-numbingly stale expedition in relatively little time. The inhabitants were uneven-eyed geeks who only ever spoke of music and mathematics, darn all the other subjects. Although the sir had ample awareness of both arts, the whole lack of variety otherwise left him without a good reason to stay there as long as he had in his previous two outings. Their king was apparently so much an expert on those two fields that it fried his cranium and cost him the ability to effectively chit-chat with people, in addition to requiring roughly an hour's time just to be aware that someone in plain sight might be nearby. For the cherry on top, the men aren't especially concerned when their wives have the nerve to commit extramarital actions (Which is very often); said men would just dedicate their time to devising over-the-top calculus equations and it seemed like nothing changed at all.
* Directly below lay the science-savvy dependency of Balnibarbi. As promising as the experimental prospects in their capital city appeared, not only did the premises turn Gulliver off (For instance, transforming fecal matter back into digestible product), but they simply were not performable. Because these practices didn't work at all, the natives lived in disrepair - and only served to drive the Briton closer to spiting his own species.
* While waiting for a ship to travel homeward, Gulliver stopped by the nearby island of Glubbdubdrib, the citizens well-practiced in sorcery. The Governor in particular dabbled in necromancy; the sir was kind enough to let a number of deceased greats narrate the stories of their lives. ''I was chiefly disgusted with modern history,'' wrote the man upon learning about the extent to which humanity as a whole was uncouth, ''For having strictly examined all the persons of greatest name in the courts of princes, for a hundred years past, I found how the world had been misled by prostitute writers, to ascribe the greatest exploits in war, to cowards; the wisest council, to fools; sincerity, to flatterers; Roman virtue, to betrayers of their country...'' History, as he now understood, must have been written to honor the winners rather than the heroes.
* The aforementioned vessel, once boarded, laid him over in Luggnagg. At first glance, the people were -- for lack of more appropriate terminology -- normal. Conversation with the denizens were to unveil that this land, too, housed a unique charm. In this case, the Struldbrugs. Immortal as they were, to be born one was undesirable above all else; they did not remain eternally young. ''At ninety, they lose their teeth and hair: they have at that age no distinction of taste, but eat and drink whatever they can get, without relish or appetite. The diseases they were subject to still continue, without increasing or diminishing. In talking, they forget the common appellation of things, and the names of persons, even of those who are their nearest friends and relations. For the same reason, they never can amuse themselves with reading, because their memory will not serve to carry them from the beginning of a sentence to the end; and by this defect, they are deprived of the only entertainment whereof they might otherwise be capable.'' It should not come as any surprise that Luggnaggian law considers Struldbrugs effectively dead by that point.
* Gulliver was to become captain of his own vessel during the final voyage -- until unfavorable circumstances led to him being mutinied. The land in which he found himself this time was populated by equine-like beings who viewed their plain-and-simple society as a utopia, and a pocket of humanity so untaught in eligible processing that they had turned into sasquatch-like freaks of nature.
* His respect for his hoofed supervisors deepened upon seeing the afore-described Yahoos, humans without any shred of civilization and common sense, to which the Houyhnhnms despised with all their might. ''My reconcilement to the Yahoo kind in general might not be so difficult,'' wrote the disenchanted human at the sight of these enslaved individuals, ''if they would be content with those vices and follies only which nature has entitled them to.'' Since their masters were not at all advocates of murder, war, or similar methods of instilling death, they had long been forced to resort to owning them as essentially useless livestock. Gulliver's arrival, imperatively, inspired them to [[SterilityPlague utilize a previously-unknown middle ground]]...
* The verdict that Gulliver's advanced state of intelligence in relation to the Yahoos might lead them to start an uprising prompted him to return to England one last time, in this case against his aspirations. His faith in humanity had already vanished in the months he spent in the Houyhnhnms' company, and to be booted on those grounds was nothing short of melancholy.
* In a shocking transition from the man who opposed the enslavement of the independent back in Lilliput, the occupation at Houyhnhnm Land successfully transformed Gulliver into a recluse who merely could not care less about the well-being of other humans, let alone the freedom-deprived. Arriving homeward, he couldn't bear to attend dinner with his family, or spend more than an hour in the urban plane; two horses thus were purchased as a reminder of his final voyage, and the apparently-flawless race that he could do nothing to but admire and donate his time to.
** With this in mind, it would be especially unwise to inform him a search engine called "Yahoo" exists. Curse you, humanity!!!
* Upon revisiting Earth after his ascension, he was even more ashamed of humanity after seeing his accounts stripped down to a squeaky-clean version of his first voyage (Something he no longer views favorably), branded as a children's story. The gut of such disgusting pests!
** According to an interview prior to his ascension, he believes that the Japanese amusement park Gulliver's Kingdom is the nadir of the carelessness when it comes to handling his accounts; here, visitors filled the shoes of the Lilliputians while walking around a colossal statue made in his likeness, with shockingly little in the way of memorable pursuits. Tellingly, it closed after less than a half decade in business, and the aforementioned effigy had become a prime target for graffiti up until demolition was underway in the late aughts.
** Predictably, the man appeared to be miffed when he learned he was being ascended solely on the manner in which he was captured during his first voyage. Even with the presence of The Houyhnhnm race elsewhere in the pantheon, the very label given to him by the pantheon overseers fills him with unrivaled shame.
* One afternoon, Miles "Tails" Prower happened to be making some engine modifications to the Tornado when a literary freak, rushing home from the library, dropped a book; it just so happened to be ''Travels.'' After careful reading, Tails went to reexamine the third voyage, harboring imagery of a hovering chunk of earth. Knowing his friend Knuckles lived on the similarly-floating Angel Island, he rushed over to show him the chapter, wondering if it stayed afloat on the same or similar principles. The Higher Ups in the Pantheon soon began to piece together Tails' intentions and instructed him to first discuss matters with The Author himself, by this point an on-and-off emotional hermit.
** Upon tracking down Gulliver, Tails was greeted with a faint groan, the Englishman concerned that he must have been a neuronally-modified subject designed to fit human needs. The fox-echidna duo at first struggled to make him cooperate, that is until a critical thought came to him: if they don gloves and shoes, then why possibly naught in the way of trousers or shirts? Because of this realization, he let his insecurities slip and gave them permission to encounter their algebraic highness of Laputa, first thing.
** Although no Chaos Emeralds were to be found, it soon was taught to the mammals that the seemingly-inoperable king had the ability to move his island at will, barring sunlight from showering the citizens of Balnibarbi until they were willing to send him representatives on a regular basis (Keep in mind Balnibarbi is a territory the Laputian king has bound to a lifelong contract, and thus regulates the folk with severity). Thanks to a magnetic lodestone composing the core of the landmass (Being the closest thing the island has to a Master Emerald, which solves the levitation question), said king can manipulate the island to exact a repercussion of choosing (As harsh as [[ColonyDrop slamming Laputa onto the below properties]], but thus far he has hardly ever resorted to such a destructive prerogative).
* Much to the Pantheon's surprise, he took interest in fellow introvert Squidward Q. Tentacles. Like Gulliver, Squidward not only has a major disinterest in the people around him ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13d5hZ9I0zI "I Hate People"]] comes to mind), but the fact that [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS6E7GiantSquidwardNoNoseKnows one time]], he was tethered by rope when he was mistaken for a monster, treated as a servant for the Bikini Bottomites' every-day chores after claiming to be nice in saving his skin, and being suddenly turned against in a disproportionate manner draws the parallels between them even further.
* Captain Nemo, as soon as he was met, became an interesting individual in Gulliver's eyes. Although both have had maritime experiences and exhibit some degree of dislike for civilization, the grounds for said aspects are of disparate flavor. Whereas Gulliver traveled purely by traditional vessels, once hated slavery but stopped giving a rat's tail, and now despises humanity in its entirety, Nemo's expertise came from submersible travel, his spite of humanity not as a flawed race but instead from an opposition to aristocracy, and to this day his blood still boils at the mention of slavery (The primary reason for his stand against the aforementioned upper-crust). A feud that lasted a good two hours between the men prompted authorities to limit their encounters to no more than ten minutes.
* The Pantheon alliances all seem to agree never to let Gulliver encounter The Antagonist, another reputed people-hater dwelling in the temple network. In contrast to Gulliver's distancing from others, the so-called "Not Important" is more hands-on when it comes to exacting his worldview. Fearing that a meeting between the parties would influence Gulliver to translate his loathing into murderous aggression, psychic barriers have been applied that make them intangible to one another should they be within a mile-wide radius.
* Similar bans have been placed on Lysandre and David Banner, who like The Antagonist are more about actually dealing with humans personally to fulfill their misanthropy than Gulliver will be.
** The former, who heads the coalition known only as Team Flare, agrees with Gulliver that humans are flawed, ugly, and simply not worth spending time around. Because Gulliver, under the profession of the pacifist Houyhnhnms, has been unwilling to inflict harm on people himself, neither party can see eye to with each other and thus the GUAG thinks it would be pointless to legally allow them near one another.
** The latter, similarly to Gulliver, accumulated a dislike for their species due to the horrible things he heard about wars and similar military conflicts. Again, differences in approach have allowed the GUAG to rightfully determine that a prospective encounter between them would only result in a rhetorical clash.
** And whatever you do, do not even begin thinking about a theoretical chit-chat with [[Pantheon/HatredAndRancor Zamasu]] (More on that in the Houyhnhnms' profile).
* Having kept their eyes on [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Li]][[Pantheon/MultiWieldingWeapons nk]] and [[Pantheon/{{Ungulates}} Epona]] (The latter whom Gulliver desperately wished and still wishes to be self-serving rather than a steed) to gain vital tidbits, the deities traced them back to a grove housing a particularly notable, unascended enity: Horse God Malanya. The GUAG politely asked the once-incarcerated paragon if he could meet Gulliver, now a man with a special connection to these faunas. In meeting the Englishman, much trivia was to be distributed between either side. When mentioning to the lonesome mister that resurrecting horses was his specialty, Gulliver quickly rebutted that the Houyhnhnms would reject this offer. Knowing that one, they reject the belief or presence of deities in favor of acknowledging what they already know and sense, two, do not see any merit in resurrection because it would make death feel less significant, and three, that Malanya revives fallen equines at the behest of Yahoos was entirely a subject they'd never wish to affiliate with (To be honest, old Lemuel got chills from seeing this guy). From that moment on, Malanya has yet to leave his quarters in Hyrule once more, primarily because a second request for his presence has yet to filed.
* Strolling around the halls of the Pantheon one evening, a beaked being in a vermilion suit walked adjacent to him, inferiors in pursuit. Intrigued by their stance, the surgeon turned around to find another army of bird-like organisms, theirs paraded by an overseer in cornflower. In asking for the reasons behind their bitterness, Zook (In the orange clothing) elaborated that they had been locked in conflict over the manner in which butter was to be applied to a given slice of bread; the memories of Lilliput soon returned to him, having fought with Blefuscu over housing refugees who left because they cracked eggs "the wrong way." Since this isn't the same Gulliver, personality-wise, as the one who saw nothing good come from the fight, ignorance got the best of him and he retreated back the way he came.
* The GUAG were aware of the Houyhnhnms' dislike for Equestria's residents, but wanted to see what Gulliver himself thought. [[Pantheon/CharacterChanges Starlight Glimmer]], former mayor of Our Town and presumably the biggest control freak in her homeland, was summoned as ambassador to Equestria. Witnessing the two Earth-descended horses standing close to Gulliver in his shrine, she struggled to spit out anything of importance due to sheer nervousness until it came to her one of the basics of Equestria in her mind. With enough explaining of the -- ahem -- prominence of the three pony races to her listener, Gulliver was convinced to make a reply and stood straight. Because he had heard from the Houyhnhnms themselves of their refusal to acknowledge Equestria or its occupants, the former surgeon could not entirely accept himself to befriending any kind of horse that wasn't "Houyhnhnm-like".
** Starlight, particularly, was chastised because of all the ponies living in greater Equestria, she would have been the '''''worst''''' to send down as representative. Why? Let's see, she [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E1TheCutieMapPart1 positioned herself in a seat of supremacy]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E2TheCutieMapPart2 and claimed to be as equal as her citizens yet as mayor gave herself substantially more privilege]] (AKA: Replacing ''their'' Cutie Marks, but simply making a new one above ''hers''), [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E25TheCutieReMarkPart1 was skilled enough at magic to almost]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E26TheCutieReMarkPart2 cause an unrepairable disruption in Equestria's timeline]], and [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E14AMatterOfPrincipals fired a Kamehameha-level stream of raw magic at someone once because they were being disruptive in school]]. The Houyhnhnms explicitly told them that for these critical reasons (Among others), that neither they nor Gulliver would feel comfortable in her presence and ought to keep out of their business at every turn. To them, once a dictator, always a dictator, and thus the standards of Gulliver and Houyhnhnm-kind regarding Equestrians and other non-mundane equines have been declared one and the same.
* His blood really froze when Drake Mallard, of whom faced off against a shrink-savvy adversary referred to as Lilliput [[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E3GettingAntsy once]], decided to interrogate him in the situation that the villain may have gotten his name from reading about the man's first voyage. Regardless of how much the avian tried to explain the buck-toothed jerk's intent on making a golf course for ants, his listener showed no interest in the story and shoved him through the temple exit, cutting him off just before he could explain how he managed to put an end to the machination. Apparently, having a god from the Extrovert Characterization house didn't sit well with the former surgeon-turned-captain.
* For reasons elaborated in the Houyhnhnms' profile, Gulliver is put-off by the existence of Crystal (Despite being almost-wholly normal in contrast to Equestrian ponies) or others hailing from ''her'' home dimension. Currently, the alliances are at a standstill as to whether non-normal horses should be allowed to even canter by the edifice, even without actually running into Gulliver himself.
* Another behavioral anomaly with the man keeps in mind his chemistry with mundane, non-horse equines. Take Marty the zebra, for instance: when escorted by the authorities to examine how Gulliver would react, the response was interesting. While the disgraced adventurer did say that Marty individually could not, in any form, be a Houyhnhnm due to seeing the world through overly rose-colored glasses (The Houyhnhnms did, after all, prioritize self-control over feelings, knacks, and attachments to the unknown) and his friendship with a group of non-equines (He explicitly recalled them owning milk cattle). Contrarily, he theorized that maybe, a group of zebras were out there who could be considered distant relatives of the Houyhnhnms, but only if the population was completely immune to any and all ailments and intelligent enough to form a reasonable society with basic infrastructure. To this day, the Pantheon statistics list Gulliver's relationship with the striped ungulates as "Undecided".
** Zecora, being yet another resident of greater Equestria, is exempt from the above-stated ambiguity on zebras just for coexisting with "non-normal" equines.
* Although mortified with the Fleischer variant of his freshman adventure, he is thankful they didn't make it all about [[Pantheon/MealsNToZ Popeye]] as was once planned. If that were the case, then he would probably scream his soul out for being substituted with said green-eater until he's had enough of the bickering and wallop him.
** Understandably, the entire Mario-universe pantheon (And possibly ''every video game-derived character'' post-1981) are just as thankful Popeye (Whom VideoGame/DonkeyKong was originally supposed to be about) was rejected from the final cut of ''Travels.'' Had that been the case, this would have extended his already-deep hatred all the way into an entire thriving medium of entertainment.

* In the span of a few Christmas days, one mischievous but troubled youngest sibling of a big family found himself left behind in his [[TitleDrop home alone]], and forced to deal with thieves doing what they did best. What would have been a traumatizing experience for many other kids instead became the [=McCallister's=] moment of notoriety. With only what he had available within his own home, and no support from police, he made the Wet Bandits regret ever trying to steal from his home with wits and creativity alone. Rigging the buildings the burglars attempted to break into with plenty of painful traps, the criminals who underestimated him would undergo more and more painful experiences the further they attempted to get the boy. Succeeding at stopping the Wet Bandits twice, Kevin [=McCallister=] not only saved Christmas for his family, but he even helped out a children's hospital whose charity money the Wet Bandits were trying to steal off for themselves.
* While Kevin [=McCallister=] wasn't too much of a fame seeker, his feats of turning home supplies into effective traps would catch the eyes of the deities in the Pantheon. Soon enough, he woke in his room, opened the door, and found himself in a new realm entirely. Intimidated by all the new things around him, he initially cowered back into his room, but eventually came out on his own, deciding to wander out to see what he was getting into. Soon enough, he would meet friendly deities that informed Kevin that he had become a deity for his success against the Wet Bandits, thus letting him hold the HomeAloneAntics trope to let him become part of the Pantheon. Asking what that meant, he would receive his own temple for him to stay at, which some comment on for being like a big house, all to himself. But once Kevin learned about the ascended criminals and thieves in the Pantheon, that temple was no longer much of a welcome place to walk around in, much less for potential home intruders.
** Kevin's main "temple" is in actuality not Kevin's main home, due to the numerous amount of traps and other home-made defenses within that it's practically impossible to traverse it normally unscathed, unless you either know it by hand, or are a god of a much greater rank capable of [[TheJuggernaut just walking through everything that could be thrown at you]] anyways. That noted, Kevin doesn't really keep anything valuable that could benefit the latter group, though Kevin intends on somehow fixing that. Otherwise, the chance that an intruder will find themselves in a hospital after entering Kevin's temple increases proportionally, if not ''exponentially'', to the amount of time they stay in Kevin's domain. However, if you're Kevin himself or someone he wants to spare from his rigged defenses, he may take you to his ''true'' temple, said to consist of a couple of rooms, including one where he designs his infamous traps, and one resembling a room within the Plaza Hotel, among others.
* Given that there are many talented thieves and rogues in the Pantheon that aren't as dim-witted as the Wet Bandits, Kevin has taken to further improve and adapt on his methods and defenses, learning from failures and other observations, due to all of the freedom and time he has as a Pantheon deity. Whereever Kevin decides to set up his usual designs becomes the bane of many a non-superpowered thief, and although the Good-aligned thieves don't have as much of a reason to bother him, they've tried from time and time again to find that traps he set up not only change from time to time to prevent redundancy, but trying to bypass a few can lead to some nasty injuries. One mentor that Kevin is getting along with for the sake of improving his work is [=MacGyver=], who additionally plays games of table-hockey with him. While [=MacGyver=] respects what he does, he gives the occasional warning about making his traps too cruel, especially nothing that there may be some deities either forced to go through them by bullies and such, or otherwise may not genuinely understand the warnings that keep most pain-sensitive deities away. As such, Kevin does experiment with designs that are intended to be more precise and to focus the hurt on those who are asking for it, on top of ways to keep potential innocent wanderers in less distress.
* There have been many a doctor in the Pantheon that have complained about Kevin's designs for traps, including how lethal a few could potentially be. There was even a mortal who elaborated on how Kevin could have effectively [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTHPxaql_Ws caused fatal injuries multiple times]] during his time in the Big Apple, which has raised plenty of concern and terror at the [=McCallister=]. And given how satisfactory he was emotionally, perhaps to the point of sadism, though [[AssholeVictim the victims weren't really nice guys]]. Kevin wasn't willing to let it all slide, and had a couple of his own arguments about the Wet Bandits that were victims of his craft. One, the fact that they had met before their second and more infamous meeting, where the two robbers had intentions to rob his family, and almost managed to torture him when they caught him. Two, the fact that they had intended to steal ''charity money'' for a children's hospital, which he argues was a terrible line to cross. And finally, the fact that the Wet Bandits not only pursued the money they wanted to take from Kevin, but were [[WouldHurtAChild willing to]] [[WouldHurtAChild him]], so he had justification to go to such dangerous lengths. While many members of the House of Law of Justice still distrust Kevin greatly, they have acknowledged his arguments as fair, and haven't sought to punish him heavily.
--> '''The Judge''': [[LampshadeHanging Huh, does this boy even have a lawyer?]]
** Santa acknowledges Kevin's immature but understandable and sympathetic intentions, and he's more than proud of Kevin for standing up against letting injustices happen on Christmas as well as helping out fellow children as well without expecting too much of a reward himself. Santa did have a messenger to tell Kevin that he's certainly a good-hearted fellow, but that he should be more mindful of his behavior towards others, and to do his best to ensure that his endeavors to get back at bandits do not go too far. Should that occur, Kevin just might find himself on the Naughty List. Heeding the warning, Kevin does try his best to be a better kid and to regulate his own mischief, even when interacting with the less morally conscious pranksters in the Pantheon.
* There were plenty of trap creators in the Pantheon that Kevin became curious of, with Woody being quite the contrasting type of prankster, setting up traps and other tricks within his own cranky neighbor's house, using the neighbor's own items against him instead of bringing his own. Impressed, Kevin has decided to learn from Woody, attempting to do similar but with his own twist on the thing. Despite having issues doing so at first, and almost getting caught by Rottweiler multiple times, he eventually set upon Rottweiler a whole stream of traps that Rottweiler kept getting caught in, one after another. Succeeding in outwitting the nasty neighbor, Kevin's skills at setting up traps for potential pursuers on the fly has made Kevin an even more fearsome kid to try and mess with. And he's also been advised to stay away from Laetitia, who's capable of giving out deadly gifts that ended up horrifying the boy when he saw them in action. Thankfully, Kevin has no interest in experimenting with anything supernatural of that sort any time soon.
* Kevin seeks to be popular among the members of the House of Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence, but it's primarily to be able to stick up for other children like him. Having gone through quite some rough holidays dealing with thieves, he's more than willing to help out other children who want to deal with troublesome adults. He's an avid support of the Kids Next Door and their pursuit of justice against the tyranny of malicious adults as well, providing assistance whenever he can. While he doesn't plan to be as generous with support toward the more chaotic and immoral children in the Pantheon, he likes to hang out with Dennis the Menace, and Dennis in turn doesn't target Kevin's temple when he wants to slingshot some windows. He also found Bart Simpson to be a pleasant mischief maker to be around, at least most of the time, to the dismay of Sideshow Bob. There's also Edgar and Ellen, who believe that Kevin's mischievous reputation isn't as deserved as theirs is. From time to time, the twins will try to out-prank him, but Kevin always has something prepared for them. They have managed to catch Kevin off-guard with their tricks, though whether it's been worth the times they've been hospitalized from either their traps backfiring or trying to outsmart Kevin's house defenses and failing, they can't say for sure.
* While he's not against befriending adults, it's rather clear that Kevin doesn't want to rely on adults. He definitely has no interest in having the cops do what his house traps can do and some, though he's not adverse to letting them do their work. He's open to the advice and support given from adults, but it's usually with some uncertainty and doubt. There are adults he has felt completely comfortable being friendly with, mainly Old Man Marley, an old man falsely suspected of being a serial killer, but ended up saving Kevin's life, as well as an unnamed Pigeon Lady who too saved Kevin's life, as odd as she was herself. Kevin's considered making them his heralds, but isn't sure of whether they'd approve. Some of the adults in the Pantheon that have earned Kevin's absolute respect and admiration for are Hana and Gin, as well as the teenage Miyuki. While they initially didn't seem to be the type of people he'd be friends with, especially not [[ParentalAbandonment Gin]], learning of how the homeless trio returned the baby Kiyoko to their parents did touch his heart (even to the point of forgiving Gin), to the point that he even invited to his true temple for a temporary stay during a nasty Christmas blizzard in the Pantheon, through a route that kept them safe from Kevin's machinations. The three visitors thanked him dearly for his miraculous saving from the blizzard they caught up in, and while they didn't have much to give back at the time, Kevin hadn't sought taking from them anyway. He was even completely oblivious to all of the good luck the three had during Christmas, not that luck is something his works should require for delivering pain to unwitting robbers.
** Somehow, his friendship with the Pigeon Lady had spared him the wrath of the humanity-attacking Birds, who appeared before him in a great swarm, attacking every other human being near him, but consistently ignoring him. He attempted to plead for the Birds to stop, but his pleas were in vain. The Birds may take some sort of liking to him, but Kevin doesn't intend to [[EveryoneHasStandards reciprocate such sentiments due to their danger to fellow humans]]. The Murkrow Flock don't fare well with him too much better, since they used to try and steal from his as well. Since he was already planning some designs to counter the kinds of bandits that thought staying off the floor was sufficient, Kevin simply made them more effective against flying targets. To save the grief of a Murkrow that could've been a victim, he threw a rubber chicken at one in front of some Murkrow to demonstrate. Needless to say, they were smart enough to get the warning. Another bird that Kevin has a much more infuriating relation to is The Goose, who is among those who aren't necessarily indestructible or immune to pain, yet they've managed to get past ''all'' of Kevin's defenses just to snatch something out of Kevin's hands, to the boy's frustration. Can you him for investing hours into anti-goose traps?
* While it's not a particularly hostile relationship, Kevin doesn't have any particular fondness of his big family, or the House of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives for that matter. For him, his family, while caring at times, it's usually the source of [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood much grief from the likes of them]], being annoyed by both siblings and parents, to the point where it played a major part of Kevin's overall distrust toward adults. Due to beginning to prefer the time spent alone, he decided against ascending the other [=McCallisters=] as heralds. His perspective baffled Angela Sheehan since on her Christmas days, she would in contrast, hope to reunite with other family members, notably her father. And while she does understand having annoying siblings, she doesn't hold the same negative sentiments that Kevin has with his other siblings like Buzz for example, where she's had a more amicable relation to her own brother Pat. Kevin on the other hand doesn't really say much to address her thoughts since she doesn't understand how unbearable his own family can be at times. Additionally, learning of another kid to willingly live alone, Rynn Jacobs, he ran into the normally secluded girl while looking for more materials in the House of Craft, and from there, had learned of her rather frightening story of losing her own mother and dealing with someone who wasn't just out for her home, but for Rynn herself, on top of the fact that she ended up killing him through potassium cyanide, though not necessarily on purpose. While initially intimidated by her, the idea of accidentally being responsible for the death of their own parent made Kevin feel much sorrow for Rynn.
* A few deities have caught Kevin's attention to their reputation for stealth and evading traps, specifically [[Pantheon/MetalGear Solid Snake, Big Boss, and Raiden]], who would all have their own ways of bypassing Kevin's more infamous traps. While Kevin doesn't want to antagonize or experiment on those individuals for the sake of training his designs, given that they're not as dumb as the Wet Bandits and would not appreciate the kid getting in their way, he does observe recordings of their own infiltrations. He hopes to get what he can analyze from said infiltrations in order to make more effective house contraptions that would counter their strategies, for the purpose of hindering those who would use such tactics for immoral motives, of course. And then there's Carmen Sandiego, who decided to take a shot at Kevin's challenge for fun. While she too found traversing Kevin's temple to be difficult, with plenty of moments of barely avoiding or just scraping by some traps, she showed up in Kevin's room holding a few of Kevin's belongings, before putting them down and leaving without stealing anything, but not without stating that Kevin by stating that he would've been an interesting recruit for ACME. With Kevin considering her a WorthyOpponent, he aspires to improve enough to put a blemish on Carmen Sandiego's thieving record.
* A few victims of Kevin's work had found themselves bound to come back regardless of the effectiveness of the boy's work. Swiper the Fox, due to his compulsion to steal, attempted to sneak in, but always got himself in much pain getting caught by the traps Kevin sets up. Despite it all, he just can't fight the urge to try and come back and steal stuff. Kevin eventually took pity on him and set up a screen which plays a recording of himself saying "Swiper, no swiping!" multiple times, which has fortunately managed to save Swiper plenty of needless suffering. And then there was Salad Fingers, who may or may not have his own reasons for entering Kevin's temple. He may get easily caught and subdued by what Kevin had set up for more sane thieves, but it hasn't scared him off. In fact, Salad Fingers has found the experiences [[TooKinkyToTorture rather pleasing]] for the most part. The day Kevin saw the tall man happily covered in sharp traps and later learning about [[NighInvulnerable who the]] [[NightmareFetishist guy was]], many got to hear Kevin's [[TheScream famous scream]] in person.
* While startled by the extent to which Kevin is willing to put his opposers through, Jimmy Hopkins does admire the idea of punishing the most stubborn criminals with just enough pain to make them feel regret for their poor moral choices. On top of giving Kevin advice about effective trap designs, and nods to individuals that deserve a bit of what Kevin can create (Gary Smith was plenty miserable about getting painfully ejected from his own temple after Kevin found it), Jimmy also helps Kevin manage his mischievous side, reminding him that he should balance his desire to improve his traps with the acknowledgement that Kevin's creations are at their core a tool of deterring, not eliminating. Another individual capable of much deadlier traps, Karl Fairburne, has also given this advice himself, noting that while his traps are explosive and much more lethal, he's doing it to fend off Nazis and other fascists, and the kinds of people their plans and methods target are different.

* Heralds: [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty Pvt. Aleksandr Sokolov, Sgt. Alexei Ivanovich Voronin]]
* Pvt. Vasili Ivanovich Koslov was a Red Army Soldier who fought in the Battles of Moscow and Stalingrad, two of the fiercest urban battles of the Great Patriotic War.
* Deciding to join the Red Army after the Wehrmacht had killed several of his relatives following Operation ''Barbarossa'', he ended up as part of the 13th Guards Rifle Division, an elite infantry division in the Red Army that would be known for its heroic efforts in the Battle of Stalingrad.
* During the Battle of Moscow, he was pretty much a NewMeat who had never held a rifle until that point. Despite this, he proves to be a crack shot with the Mosin-Nagant rifle. And these skills come in handy not long after, when he and the rest of his unit are immediately pressed into fighting against far more experienced German infantry units.
* By the time of the Battle of Stalingrad, Vasili Ivanovich Koslov is already an ExperiencedProtagonist, having killed dozens if not hundreds of Germans, while also surviving the hellish and wintry landscape of Stalingrad. He also becomes a competent ColdSniper, killing quite a few German snipers and machine gunners while retaking the German-occupied parts of the city in January 1943.
* His last known actions during the Battle of Stalingrad would be the retaking of the Stalingrad City Hall, on January 15, 1943. He was last seen alongside his superior officer, Lt. Dimitri Volsky, firing back at retreating German forces. Following this ordeal, he was never heard from again.
* And so, thanks to his valuable combat experience, it was decided to ascend Pvt. Koslov into the Pantheon, as the '''Representative of [[UrbanWarfare House-to-House Combat]]'''. This was arranged by fellow Soviet soldiers and Stalingrad veterans Capt. Viktor Reznov and Pvt. Dimitri Petrenko, mainly due to a need for more Soviet personnel who would be willing to oppose Dragovich and his faction.
** Originally, it was intended to ascend Koslov alongside two other veterans of the Battle of Stalingrad. Pvt. Aleksandr Sokolov and Sgt. Alexei Ivanovich Voronin, like Koslov, were also members of the 13th Guards Rifle Division who had fought at Stalingrad. And, like Koslov, they both became highly skilled tacticians with regards to urban fighting. However, their actions were less well-known, with [[TheFaceless Voronin's face being anonymous]] and Sokolov mostly acting as a DecoyProtagonist in his own story, so it was eventually decided to have them serve as Pvt. Koslov's heralds, as their combat experience in urban environments was still very much coveted.
* Upon the Soviet Private's ascension, he's immediately greeted by the aforementioned duo, who immediately hand him an SVT-40 rifle and [=PPSH-41=] submachine gun. Koslov is then briefed by his new comrades, about the German threat in the Pantheon, as well as their traitorous fellow countrymen. With no other viable options, and in a place completely unfamiliar to him, the Private ultimately decides to help Reznov and Petrenko in their RoaringRampageOfRevenge against both the Nazis, now led by HYDRA leader Johann Schmidt, and the rogue Soviet faction, led by Soviet General Nikita Dragovich.
* In combat, Koslov proves once again to be a resourceful soldier, creating an improvised StickyBomb from scraps of TNT, grease, and old sacks and using them against several Nazi tanks and armored cars. While they don't knock out the enemy vehicles outright [[AttackItsWeakPoint unless placed on the engine compartment or fuel tanks]], when placed on tracks or wheels, the bomb in question can disable a vehicle's movement, allowing [[InsertGrenadeHere a soldier to drop a grenade through one of the vehicle's hatches]].
* Upon seeing the Nazis attempting to retreat during another combat outing, Capt. Reznov, Petrenko, and Koslov proceed to charge at them, killing many scared German soldiers in the process. They ultimately hole many of them up in an abandoned office building. In a repeat of his first onscreen mission at Stalingrad, Koslov begins planting sticky bombs on the building's foundations, with Reznov and Petrenko helping their comrade in the process. They end up killing the remaining Nazis, with Reznov and Petrenko agreeing that this was and still is the best way to "negotiate" with Fascists.
* During one combat outing, Koslov manages to meet the other protagonists [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty2 from his respective story]], Lt. Randall, Sgt. Bill Taylor, Sgt. John Davis, and Tank Commander David Welsh. Koslov himself is surprised that he even shared a story with them at all, given that his campaign was pretty much a standalone story all by itself, while the latter, at least, had some connections to their campaigns in the form of the Normandy campaign.
* Koslov gets along well with Sgt. Jack Barnes, who is himself a veteran of the Eastern Front as an observer for the OSS in Berlin. Lt. Karl Fairburne, having fought against DirtyCommunists during his time in Berlin, initially suspects that Koslov is one of Dragovich's men. Thankfully, Reznov, whom Karl has come to trust, explains that the Soviet Private is with him and Pvt. Petrenko, and that they have nothing to do with that treacherous Soviet General.
** Tashkent, whom Reznov was once High Priest to, is ecstatic at the addition of another fellow Soviet with a good track record, to say the least.
** One other deity that massively distrusts Pvt. Koslov is The Heavy, due to his family having been persecuted by the same Soviet regime that Koslov had served under. Seeing the Soviet Guards banner on the Private's Red Army uniform ignites anger in the Russian mercenary.
** Artyom also doesn't trust Koslov at first. This soon changes thanks to Pvt. Dimitri Petrenko, who tells Artyom that Koslov is one of his allies, and that he's not with the likes of Dragovich.
** On the flip side, Vasili absolutely finds folks like Dimitri Rascalov to be just as bad, if not worse, than the Nazis he fights against, despite Dimitri having formerly served in the Soviet Armed Forces. The Soviet Private also hates The Son for similar reasons, not helped by his reputation as an addict.
* Vasili, like many a Soviet or Russian deity, actually respects Olaf and his skills in WinterWarfare. At one point, the latter saves Vasili when he bogs down a German armored column by summoning snow on them, allowing Koslov, Petrenko, and Reznov to wipe the Nazis out.
* When not in combat, Pvt. Koslov demonstrates to his fellow Allied deities and Soviet comrades the training and combat experience he had earned on the Eastern Front, namely how he uses [[StickyBomb improvised anti-tank weapons]] and [[ImprovisedWeapon potatoes as training grenades]]. The former impresses Taylor, Davis, and OSS Lieutenant Mike Powell, while the latter earns the interest of O'Bannon, who asks Koslov to train with her in the art of ImprovFu.
** Sasha Blouse, meanwhile, opposes him for his "senseless" waste of throwing potatoes around.
* Not to be confused with RealLife Soviet sniper Vasili Zaytsev, although this Vasili also becomes a sniper himself, just not to the same notoriety or skill level.

[[folder:Gulliver]]
''I lay down on the grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I remembered to have done in my life, and, as I reckoned, about nine hours: for when I awaked, it was just day-light, I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir: for, as I happened to lie on my back, I found my arms and legs were strongly fastened on each side to the ground, and my hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same manner. I likewise felt several slender ligatures across my body, from my arm-pits to my thighs. I could only look upwards: the sun began to grow hot, and the light offended my eyes. I heard a confused noise about me: but in the posture I lay, could see nothing except the sky. In a little time I felt something alive moving on my left leg, which advancing gently forward over my breast, came almost up to my chin; when, bending my eyes downwards as much as I could, I perceived it to be a human creature not six inches high, with a bow and arrow in his hands, and a quiver at his back. In the mean time, I felt at least forty more of the same kind (as I conjectured) following the first.''

William Robinson, Aug. 5, 1706 - May 1707). Captain of the ''Adventurer'' (Sep. 7, 1710 - May 1711). Currently unemployed.
* Before this whole misanthropy conundrum befell him, Lemuel Gulliver was actually really sociable; part of the reason for his love of voyages was to become acquainted with the cultures and languages of the peoples he encountered. This is why, during those life-changing four adventures, he didn't have too much of a problem absorbing the tongues of the races he met.
* One cannot converse about Gulliver without discussing his first stop: Lilliput. The enormous size difference between him and the natives, in short, was both a terror and a fascination. As hard as his arrival turned out to be, the next few weeks gave him some opportunities to aid them in more than one difficult struggle.
* The utmost of labors the Emperor was to provide him, the capture of Blefuscu, at first seemed to be one of gilded honor. The reality soon came, shortly afterward, when the Emperor made clear his intentions with Blefuscu and the refugees that took refuge there: ''His majesty desired I would take some other opportunity of bringing all the rest of his enemy's ships into his ports. And so unmeasurable is the ambition of princes, that he seemed to think of nothing less than reducing the whole empire of Blefuscu into a province, and governing it, by a viceroy: of destroying the Big-endian exiles, and compelling that people would break the smaller end of their eggs, by which he would remain the sole monarch of the whole world. But I endeavoured to divert him from this design, by many arguments drawn from the topics of policy as well as justice; and I plainly protested, "that I would never be an instrument of bringing a free and brave people into slavery."'' His disagreement with Lilliput's choice to absorb Blefuscu became the first piece of evidence bringing him closer to his death sentence, an announcement that drove him to swim away to the opposing island. In asking the Blefuscudians for aid, he managed to sail off before the Lilliputian Emperor could finalize the execution.
* Brobdingnag, the isolated nation of giants, saw the sir under the supervision of that island's royals; contrary to common sense, they did not entirely view Gulliver's smallness as too much of an oddity because their servant was a comparatively-short 30 ft (Whereas typical adults there stood twice said servant's height). Much in the same way that the foliage and wildlife of Lilliput and Blefuscu were analogous to how they might size up to normally-sized people, Brobdingnagian organisms are also relative to the size of the people but far larger.
* Even moreso, though, his occupation in the area was a scarring experience. Combine the possibility of being flattened underfoot any day with being tagged as a traveling acrobat every minute and every hour, and you receive the perfect storm.
** Being used as a toy for, ahem, intimate vices, and witnessing a public beheading in all its sanguine grandeur, are also reason to feel irreversibly squicked. Justifiably, this was the first step in his path to spiting humankind.
* While overall undesirable, one aspect of the island provided him a much-needed mental cushion. ''This young girl was so handy,'' spoke regarding one of the mistress' children, ''that after I had once or twice pulled off my clothes before her, she was able to dress and undress me, though I never gave her that trouble when she would let me do either myself.'' From then on, Glumdalclitch, as Gulliver began to call her, toured him nationwide at her superiors' request
* The voyage just after, to Laputa (Eh, [[Anime/CastleInTheSky not that one]]), became a mind-numbingly stale expedition in relatively little time. The inhabitants were uneven-eyed geeks who only ever spoke of music and mathematics, darn all the other subjects. Although the sir had ample awareness of both arts, the whole lack of variety otherwise left him without a good reason to stay there as long as he had in his previous two outings. Their king was apparently so much an expert on those two fields that it fried his cranium and cost him the ability to effectively chit-chat with people, in addition to requiring roughly an hour's time just to be aware that someone in plain sight might be nearby. For the cherry on top, the men aren't especially concerned when their wives have the nerve to commit extramarital actions (Which is very often); said men would just dedicate their time to devising over-the-top calculus equations and it seemed like nothing changed at all.
* Directly below lay the science-savvy dependency of Balnibarbi. As promising as the experimental prospects in their capital city appeared, not only did the premises turn Gulliver off (For instance, transforming fecal matter back into digestible product), but they simply were not performable. Because these practices didn't work at all, the natives lived in disrepair - and only served to drive the Briton closer to spiting his own species.
* While waiting for a ship to travel homeward, Gulliver stopped by the nearby island of Glubbdubdrib, the citizens well-practiced in sorcery. The Governor in particular dabbled in necromancy; the sir was kind enough to let a number of deceased greats narrate the stories of their lives. ''I was chiefly disgusted with modern history,'' wrote the man upon learning about the extent to which humanity as a whole was uncouth, ''For having strictly examined all the persons of greatest name in the courts of princes, for a hundred years past, I found how the world had been misled by prostitute writers, to ascribe the greatest exploits in war, to cowards; the wisest council, to fools; sincerity, to flatterers; Roman virtue, to betrayers of their country...'' History, as he now understood, must have been written to honor the winners rather than the heroes.
* The aforementioned vessel, once boarded, laid him over in Luggnagg. At first glance, the people were -- for lack of more appropriate terminology -- normal. Conversation with the denizens were to unveil that this land, too, housed a unique charm. In this case, the Struldbrugs. Immortal as they were, to be born one was undesirable above all else; they did not remain eternally young. ''At ninety, they lose their teeth and hair: they have at that age no distinction of taste, but eat and drink whatever they can get, without relish or appetite. The diseases they were subject to still continue, without increasing or diminishing. In talking, they forget the common appellation of things, and the names of persons, even of those who are their nearest friends and relations. For the same reason, they never can amuse themselves with reading, because their memory will not serve to carry them from the beginning of a sentence to the end; and by this defect, they are deprived of the only entertainment whereof they might otherwise be capable.'' It should not come as any surprise that Luggnaggian law considers Struldbrugs effectively dead by that point.
* Gulliver was to become captain of his own vessel during the final voyage -- until unfavorable circumstances led to him being mutinied. The land in which he found himself this time was populated by equine-like beings who viewed their plain-and-simple society as a utopia, and a pocket of humanity so untaught in eligible processing that they had turned into sasquatch-like freaks of nature.
* His respect for his hoofed supervisors deepened upon seeing the afore-described Yahoos, humans without any shred of civilization and common sense, to which the Houyhnhnms despised with all their might. ''My reconcilement to the Yahoo kind in general might not be so difficult,'' wrote the disenchanted human at the sight of these enslaved individuals, ''if they would be content with those vices and follies only which nature has entitled them to.'' Since their masters were not at all advocates of murder, war, or similar methods of instilling death, they had long been forced to resort to owning them as essentially useless livestock. Gulliver's arrival, imperatively, inspired them to [[SterilityPlague utilize a previously-unknown middle ground]]...
* The verdict that Gulliver's advanced state of intelligence in relation to the Yahoos might lead them to start an uprising prompted him to return to England one last time, in this case against his aspirations. His faith in humanity had already vanished in the months he spent in the Houyhnhnms' company, and to be booted on those grounds was nothing short of melancholy.
* In a shocking transition from the man who opposed the enslavement of the independent back in Lilliput, the occupation at Houyhnhnm Land successfully transformed Gulliver into a recluse who merely could not care less about the well-being of other humans, let alone the freedom-deprived. Arriving homeward, he couldn't bear to attend dinner with his family, or spend more than an hour in the urban plane; two horses thus were purchased as a reminder of his final voyage, and the apparently-flawless race that he could do nothing to but admire and donate his time to.
** With this in mind, it would be especially unwise to inform him a search engine called "Yahoo" exists. Curse you, humanity!!!
* Upon revisiting Earth after his ascension, he was even more ashamed of humanity after seeing his accounts stripped down to a squeaky-clean version of his first voyage (Something he no longer views favorably), branded as a children's story. The gut of such disgusting pests!
** According to an interview prior to his ascension, he believes that the Japanese amusement park Gulliver's Kingdom is the nadir of the carelessness when it comes to handling his accounts; here, visitors filled the shoes of the Lilliputians while walking around a colossal statue made in his likeness, with shockingly little in the way of memorable pursuits. Tellingly, it closed after less than a half decade in business, and the aforementioned effigy had become a prime target for graffiti up until demolition was underway in the late aughts.
** Predictably, the man appeared to be miffed when he learned he was being ascended solely on the manner in which he was captured during his first voyage. Even with the presence of The Houyhnhnm race elsewhere in the pantheon, the very label given to him by the pantheon overseers fills him with unrivaled shame.
* One afternoon, Miles "Tails" Prower happened to be making some engine modifications to the Tornado when a literary freak, rushing home from the library, dropped a book; it just so happened to be ''Travels.'' After careful reading, Tails went to reexamine the third voyage, harboring imagery of a hovering chunk of earth. Knowing his friend Knuckles lived on the similarly-floating Angel Island, he rushed over to show him the chapter, wondering if it stayed afloat on the same or similar principles. The Higher Ups in the Pantheon soon began to piece together Tails' intentions and instructed him to first discuss matters with The Author himself, by this point an on-and-off emotional hermit.
** Upon tracking down Gulliver, Tails was greeted with a faint groan, the Englishman concerned that he must have been a neuronally-modified subject designed to fit human needs. The fox-echidna duo at first struggled to make him cooperate, that is until a critical thought came to him: if they don gloves and shoes, then why possibly naught in the way of trousers or shirts? Because of this realization, he let his insecurities slip and gave them permission to encounter their algebraic highness of Laputa, first thing.
** Although no Chaos Emeralds were to be found, it soon was taught to the mammals that the seemingly-inoperable king had the ability to move his island at will, barring sunlight from showering the citizens of Balnibarbi until they were willing to send him representatives on a regular basis (Keep in mind Balnibarbi is a territory the Laputian king has bound to a lifelong contract, and thus regulates the folk with severity). Thanks to a magnetic lodestone composing the core of the landmass (Being the closest thing the island has to a Master Emerald, which solves the levitation question), said king can manipulate the island to exact a repercussion of choosing (As harsh as [[ColonyDrop slamming Laputa onto the below properties]], but thus far he has hardly ever resorted to such a destructive prerogative).
* Much to the Pantheon's surprise, he took interest in fellow introvert Squidward Q. Tentacles. Like Gulliver, Squidward not only has a major disinterest in the people around him ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13d5hZ9I0zI "I Hate People"]] comes to mind), but the fact that [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS6E7GiantSquidwardNoNoseKnows one time]], he was tethered by rope when he was mistaken for a monster, treated as a servant for the Bikini Bottomites' every-day chores after claiming to be nice in saving his skin, and being suddenly turned against in a disproportionate manner draws the parallels between them even further.
* Captain Nemo, as soon as he was met, became an interesting individual in Gulliver's eyes. Although both have had maritime experiences and exhibit some degree of dislike for civilization, the grounds for said aspects are of disparate flavor. Whereas Gulliver traveled purely by traditional vessels, once hated slavery but stopped giving a rat's tail, and now despises humanity in its entirety, Nemo's expertise came from submersible travel, his spite of humanity not as a flawed race but instead from an opposition to aristocracy, and to this day his blood still boils at the mention of slavery (The primary reason for his stand against the aforementioned upper-crust). A feud that lasted a good two hours between the men prompted authorities to limit their encounters to no more than ten minutes.
* The Pantheon alliances all seem to agree never to let Gulliver encounter The Antagonist, another reputed people-hater dwelling in the temple network. In contrast to Gulliver's distancing from others, the so-called "Not Important" is more hands-on when it comes to exacting his worldview. Fearing that a meeting between the parties would influence Gulliver to translate his loathing into murderous aggression, psychic barriers have been applied that make them intangible to one another should they be within a mile-wide radius.
* Similar bans have been placed on Lysandre and David Banner, who like The Antagonist are more about actually dealing with humans personally to fulfill their misanthropy than Gulliver will be.
** The former, who heads the coalition known only as Team Flare, agrees with Gulliver that humans are flawed, ugly, and simply not worth spending time around. Because Gulliver, under the profession of the pacifist Houyhnhnms, has been unwilling to inflict harm on people himself, neither party can see eye to with each other and thus the GUAG thinks it would be pointless to legally allow them near one another.
** The latter, similarly to Gulliver, accumulated a dislike for their species due to the horrible things he heard about wars and similar military conflicts. Again, differences in approach have allowed the GUAG to rightfully determine that a prospective encounter between them would only result in a rhetorical clash.
** And whatever you do, do not even begin thinking about a theoretical chit-chat with [[Pantheon/HatredAndRancor Zamasu]] (More on that in the Houyhnhnms' profile).
* Having kept their eyes on [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Li]][[Pantheon/MultiWieldingWeapons nk]] and [[Pantheon/{{Ungulates}} Epona]] (The latter whom Gulliver desperately wished and still wishes to be self-serving rather than a steed) to gain vital tidbits, the deities traced them back to a grove housing a particularly notable, unascended enity: Horse God Malanya. The GUAG politely asked the once-incarcerated paragon if he could meet Gulliver, now a man with a special connection to these faunas. In meeting the Englishman, much trivia was to be distributed between either side. When mentioning to the lonesome mister that resurrecting horses was his specialty, Gulliver quickly rebutted that the Houyhnhnms would reject this offer. Knowing that one, they reject the belief or presence of deities in favor of acknowledging what they already know and sense, two, do not see any merit in resurrection because it would make death feel less significant, and three, that Malanya revives fallen equines at the behest of Yahoos was entirely a subject they'd never wish to affiliate with (To be honest, old Lemuel got chills from seeing this guy). From that moment on, Malanya has yet to leave his quarters in Hyrule once more, primarily because a second request for his presence has yet to filed.
* Strolling around the halls of the Pantheon one evening, a beaked being in a vermilion suit walked adjacent to him, inferiors in pursuit. Intrigued by their stance, the surgeon turned around to find another army of bird-like organisms, theirs paraded by an overseer in cornflower. In asking for the reasons behind their bitterness, Zook (In the orange clothing) elaborated that they had been locked in conflict over the manner in which butter was to be applied to a given slice of bread; the memories of Lilliput soon returned to him, having fought with Blefuscu over housing refugees who left because they cracked eggs "the wrong way." Since this isn't the same Gulliver, personality-wise, as the one who saw nothing good come from the fight, ignorance got the best of him and he retreated back the way he came.
* The GUAG were aware of the Houyhnhnms' dislike for Equestria's residents, but wanted to see what Gulliver himself thought. [[Pantheon/CharacterChanges Starlight Glimmer]], former mayor of Our Town and presumably the biggest control freak in her homeland, was summoned as ambassador to Equestria. Witnessing the two Earth-descended horses standing close to Gulliver in his shrine, she struggled to spit out anything of importance due to sheer nervousness until it came to her one of the basics of Equestria in her mind. With enough explaining of the -- ahem -- prominence of the three pony races to her listener, Gulliver was convinced to make a reply and stood straight. Because he had heard from the Houyhnhnms themselves of their refusal to acknowledge Equestria or its occupants, the former surgeon could not entirely accept himself to befriending any kind of horse that wasn't "Houyhnhnm-like".
** Starlight, particularly, was chastised because of all the ponies living in greater Equestria, she would have been the '''''worst''''' to send down as representative. Why? Let's see, she [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E1TheCutieMapPart1 positioned herself in a seat of supremacy]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E2TheCutieMapPart2 and claimed to be as equal as her citizens yet as mayor gave herself substantially more privilege]] (AKA: Replacing ''their'' Cutie Marks, but simply making a new one above ''hers''), [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E25TheCutieReMarkPart1 was skilled enough at magic to almost]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E26TheCutieReMarkPart2 cause an unrepairable disruption in Equestria's timeline]], and [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E14AMatterOfPrincipals fired a Kamehameha-level stream of raw magic at someone once because they were being disruptive in school]]. The Houyhnhnms explicitly told them that for these critical reasons (Among others), that neither they nor Gulliver would feel comfortable in her presence and ought to keep out of their business at every turn. To them, once a dictator, always a dictator, and thus the standards of Gulliver and Houyhnhnm-kind regarding Equestrians and other non-mundane equines have been declared one and the same.
* His blood really froze when Drake Mallard, of whom faced off against a shrink-savvy adversary referred to as Lilliput [[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E3GettingAntsy once]], decided to interrogate him in the situation that the villain may have gotten his name from reading about the man's first voyage. Regardless of how much the avian tried to explain the buck-toothed jerk's intent on making a golf course for ants, his listener showed no interest in the story and shoved him through the temple exit, cutting him off just before he could explain how he managed to put an end to the machination. Apparently, having a god from the Extrovert Characterization house didn't sit well with the former surgeon-turned-captain.
* For reasons elaborated in the Houyhnhnms' profile, Gulliver is put-off by the existence of Crystal (Despite being almost-wholly normal in contrast to Equestrian ponies) or others hailing from ''her'' home dimension. Currently, the alliances are at a standstill as to whether non-normal horses should be allowed to even canter by the edifice, even without actually running into Gulliver himself.
* Another behavioral anomaly with the man keeps in mind his chemistry with mundane, non-horse equines. Take Marty the zebra, for instance: when escorted by the authorities to examine how Gulliver would react, the response was interesting. While the disgraced adventurer did say that Marty individually could not, in any form, be a Houyhnhnm due to seeing the world through overly rose-colored glasses (The Houyhnhnms did, after all, prioritize self-control over feelings, knacks, and attachments to the unknown) and his friendship with a group of non-equines (He explicitly recalled them owning milk cattle). Contrarily, he theorized that maybe, a group of zebras were out there who could be considered distant relatives of the Houyhnhnms, but only if the population was completely immune to any and all ailments and intelligent enough to form a reasonable society with basic infrastructure. To this day, the Pantheon statistics list Gulliver's relationship with the striped ungulates as "Undecided".
** Zecora, being yet another resident of greater Equestria, is exempt from the above-stated ambiguity on zebras just for coexisting with "non-normal" equines.
* Although mortified with the Fleischer variant of his freshman adventure, he is thankful they didn't make it all about [[Pantheon/MealsNToZ Popeye]] as was once planned. If that were the case, then he would probably scream his soul out for being substituted with said green-eater until he's had enough of the bickering and wallop him.
** Understandably, the entire Mario-universe pantheon (And possibly ''every video game-derived character'' post-1981) are just as thankful Popeye (Whom VideoGame/DonkeyKong was originally supposed to be about) was rejected from the final cut of ''Travels.'' Had that been the case, this would have extended his already-deep hatred all the way into an entire thriving medium of entertainment.

* In the span of a few Christmas days, one mischievous but troubled youngest sibling of a big family found himself left behind in his [[TitleDrop home alone]], and forced to deal with thieves doing what they did best. What would have been a traumatizing experience for many other kids instead became the [=McCallister's=] moment of notoriety. With only what he had available within his own home, and no support from police, he made the Wet Bandits regret ever trying to steal from his home with wits and creativity alone. Rigging the buildings the burglars attempted to break into with plenty of painful traps, the criminals who underestimated him would undergo more and more painful experiences the further they attempted to get the boy. Succeeding at stopping the Wet Bandits twice, Kevin [=McCallister=] not only saved Christmas for his family, but he even helped out a children's hospital whose charity money the Wet Bandits were trying to steal off for themselves.
* While Kevin [=McCallister=] wasn't too much of a fame seeker, his feats of turning home supplies into effective traps would catch the eyes of the deities in the Pantheon. Soon enough, he woke in his room, opened the door, and found himself in a new realm entirely. Intimidated by all the new things around him, he initially cowered back into his room, but eventually came out on his own, deciding to wander out to see what he was getting into. Soon enough, he would meet friendly deities that informed Kevin that he had become a deity for his success against the Wet Bandits, thus letting him hold the HomeAloneAntics trope to let him become part of the Pantheon. Asking what that meant, he would receive his own temple for him to stay at, which some comment on for being like a big house, all to himself. But once Kevin learned about the ascended criminals and thieves in the Pantheon, that temple was no longer much of a welcome place to walk around in, much less for potential home intruders.
** Kevin's main "temple" is in actuality not Kevin's main home, due to the numerous amount of traps and other home-made defenses within that it's practically impossible to traverse it normally unscathed, unless you either know it by hand, or are a god of a much greater rank capable of [[TheJuggernaut just walking through everything that could be thrown at you]] anyways. That noted, Kevin doesn't really keep anything valuable that could benefit the latter group, though Kevin intends on somehow fixing that. Otherwise, the chance that an intruder will find themselves in a hospital after entering Kevin's temple increases proportionally, if not ''exponentially'', to the amount of time they stay in Kevin's domain. However, if you're Kevin himself or someone he wants to spare from his rigged defenses, he may take you to his ''true'' temple, said to consist of a couple of rooms, including one where he designs his infamous traps, and one resembling a room within the Plaza Hotel, among others.
* Given that there are many talented thieves and rogues in the Pantheon that aren't as dim-witted as the Wet Bandits, Kevin has taken to further improve and adapt on his methods and defenses, learning from failures and other observations, due to all of the freedom and time he has as a Pantheon deity. Whereever Kevin decides to set up his usual designs becomes the bane of many a non-superpowered thief, and although the Good-aligned thieves don't have as much of a reason to bother him, they've tried from time and time again to find that traps he set up not only change from time to time to prevent redundancy, but trying to bypass a few can lead to some nasty injuries. One mentor that Kevin is getting along with for the sake of improving his work is [=MacGyver=], who additionally plays games of table-hockey with him. While [=MacGyver=] respects what he does, he gives the occasional warning about making his traps too cruel, especially nothing that there may be some deities either forced to go through them by bullies and such, or otherwise may not genuinely understand the warnings that keep most pain-sensitive deities away. As such, Kevin does experiment with designs that are intended to be more precise and to focus the hurt on those who are asking for it, on top of ways to keep potential innocent wanderers in less distress.
* There have been many a doctor in the Pantheon that have complained about Kevin's designs for traps, including how lethal a few could potentially be. There was even a mortal who elaborated on how Kevin could have effectively [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTHPxaql_Ws caused fatal injuries multiple times]] during his time in the Big Apple, which has raised plenty of concern and terror at the [=McCallister=]. And given how satisfactory he was emotionally, perhaps to the point of sadism, though [[AssholeVictim the victims weren't really nice guys]]. Kevin wasn't willing to let it all slide, and had a couple of his own arguments about the Wet Bandits that were victims of his craft. One, the fact that they had met before their second and more infamous meeting, where the two robbers had intentions to rob his family, and almost managed to torture him when they caught him. Two, the fact that they had intended to steal ''charity money'' for a children's hospital, which he argues was a terrible line to cross. And finally, the fact that the Wet Bandits not only pursued the money they wanted to take from Kevin, but were [[WouldHurtAChild willing to]] [[WouldHurtAChild him]], so he had justification to go to such dangerous lengths. While many members of the House of Law of Justice still distrust Kevin greatly, they have acknowledged his arguments as fair, and haven't sought to punish him heavily.
--> '''The Judge''': [[LampshadeHanging Huh, does this boy even have a lawyer?]]
** Santa acknowledges Kevin's immature but understandable and sympathetic intentions, and he's more than proud of Kevin for standing up against letting injustices happen on Christmas as well as helping out fellow children as well without expecting too much of a reward himself. Santa did have a messenger to tell Kevin that he's certainly a good-hearted fellow, but that he should be more mindful of his behavior towards others, and to do his best to ensure that his endeavors to get back at bandits do not go too far. Should that occur, Kevin just might find himself on the Naughty List. Heeding the warning, Kevin does try his best to be a better kid and to regulate his own mischief, even when interacting with the less morally conscious pranksters in the Pantheon.
* There were plenty of trap creators in the Pantheon that Kevin became curious of, with Woody being quite the contrasting type of prankster, setting up traps and other tricks within his own cranky neighbor's house, using the neighbor's own items against him instead of bringing his own. Impressed, Kevin has decided to learn from Woody, attempting to do similar but with his own twist on the thing. Despite having issues doing so at first, and almost getting caught by Rottweiler multiple times, he eventually set upon Rottweiler a whole stream of traps that Rottweiler kept getting caught in, one after another. Succeeding in outwitting the nasty neighbor, Kevin's skills at setting up traps for potential pursuers on the fly has made Kevin an even more fearsome kid to try and mess with. And he's also been advised to stay away from Laetitia, who's capable of giving out deadly gifts that ended up horrifying the boy when he saw them in action. Thankfully, Kevin has no interest in experimenting with anything supernatural of that sort any time soon.
* Kevin seeks to be popular among the members of the House of Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence, but it's primarily to be able to stick up for other children like him. Having gone through quite some rough holidays dealing with thieves, he's more than willing to help out other children who want to deal with troublesome adults. He's an avid support of the Kids Next Door and their pursuit of justice against the tyranny of malicious adults as well, providing assistance whenever he can. While he doesn't plan to be as generous with support toward the more chaotic and immoral children in the Pantheon, he likes to hang out with Dennis the Menace, and Dennis in turn doesn't target Kevin's temple when he wants to slingshot some windows. He also found Bart Simpson to be a pleasant mischief maker to be around, at least most of the time, to the dismay of Sideshow Bob. There's also Edgar and Ellen, who believe that Kevin's mischievous reputation isn't as deserved as theirs is. From time to time, the twins will try to out-prank him, but Kevin always has something prepared for them. They have managed to catch Kevin off-guard with their tricks, though whether it's been worth the times they've been hospitalized from either their traps backfiring or trying to outsmart Kevin's house defenses and failing, they can't say for sure.
* While he's not against befriending adults, it's rather clear that Kevin doesn't want to rely on adults. He definitely has no interest in having the cops do what his house traps can do and some, though he's not adverse to letting them do their work. He's open to the advice and support given from adults, but it's usually with some uncertainty and doubt. There are adults he has felt completely comfortable being friendly with, mainly Old Man Marley, an old man falsely suspected of being a serial killer, but ended up saving Kevin's life, as well as an unnamed Pigeon Lady who too saved Kevin's life, as odd as she was herself. Kevin's considered making them his heralds, but isn't sure of whether they'd approve. Some of the adults in the Pantheon that have earned Kevin's absolute respect and admiration for are Hana and Gin, as well as the teenage Miyuki. While they initially didn't seem to be the type of people he'd be friends with, especially not [[ParentalAbandonment Gin]], learning of how the homeless trio returned the baby Kiyoko to their parents did touch his heart (even to the point of forgiving Gin), to the point that he even invited to his true temple for a temporary stay during a nasty Christmas blizzard in the Pantheon, through a route that kept them safe from Kevin's machinations. The three visitors thanked him dearly for his miraculous saving from the blizzard they caught up in, and while they didn't have much to give back at the time, Kevin hadn't sought taking from them anyway. He was even completely oblivious to all of the good luck the three had during Christmas, not that luck is something his works should require for delivering pain to unwitting robbers.
** Somehow, his friendship with the Pigeon Lady had spared him the wrath of the humanity-attacking Birds, who appeared before him in a great swarm, attacking every other human being near him, but consistently ignoring him. He attempted to plead for the Birds to stop, but his pleas were in vain. The Birds may take some sort of liking to him, but Kevin doesn't intend to [[EveryoneHasStandards reciprocate such sentiments due to their danger to fellow humans]]. The Murkrow Flock don't fare well with him too much better, since they used to try and steal from his as well. Since he was already planning some designs to counter the kinds of bandits that thought staying off the floor was sufficient, Kevin simply made them more effective against flying targets. To save the grief of a Murkrow that could've been a victim, he threw a rubber chicken at one in front of some Murkrow to demonstrate. Needless to say, they were smart enough to get the warning. Another bird that Kevin has a much more infuriating relation to is The Goose, who is among those who aren't necessarily indestructible or immune to pain, yet they've managed to get past ''all'' of Kevin's defenses just to snatch something out of Kevin's hands, to the boy's frustration. Can you him for investing hours into anti-goose traps?
* While it's not a particularly hostile relationship, Kevin doesn't have any particular fondness of his big family, or the House of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives for that matter. For him, his family, while caring at times, it's usually the source of [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood much grief from the likes of them]], being annoyed by both siblings and parents, to the point where it played a major part of Kevin's overall distrust toward adults. Due to beginning to prefer the time spent alone, he decided against ascending the other [=McCallisters=] as heralds. His perspective baffled Angela Sheehan since on her Christmas days, she would in contrast, hope to reunite with other family members, notably her father. And while she does understand having annoying siblings, she doesn't hold the same negative sentiments that Kevin has with his other siblings like Buzz for example, where she's had a more amicable relation to her own brother Pat. Kevin on the other hand doesn't really say much to address her thoughts since she doesn't understand how unbearable his own family can be at times. Additionally, learning of another kid to willingly live alone, Rynn Jacobs, he ran into the normally secluded girl while looking for more materials in the House of Craft, and from there, had learned of her rather frightening story of losing her own mother and dealing with someone who wasn't just out for her home, but for Rynn herself, on top of the fact that she ended up killing him through potassium cyanide, though not necessarily on purpose. While initially intimidated by her, the idea of accidentally being responsible for the death of their own parent made Kevin feel much sorrow for Rynn.
* A few deities have caught Kevin's attention to their reputation for stealth and evading traps, specifically [[Pantheon/MetalGear Solid Snake, Big Boss, and Raiden]], who would all have their own ways of bypassing Kevin's more infamous traps. While Kevin doesn't want to antagonize or experiment on those individuals for the sake of training his designs, given that they're not as dumb as the Wet Bandits and would not appreciate the kid getting in their way, he does observe recordings of their own infiltrations. He hopes to get what he can analyze from said infiltrations in order to make more effective house contraptions that would counter their strategies, for the purpose of hindering those who would use such tactics for immoral motives, of course. And then there's Carmen Sandiego, who decided to take a shot at Kevin's challenge for fun. While she too found traversing Kevin's temple to be difficult, with plenty of moments of barely avoiding or just scraping by some traps, she showed up in Kevin's room holding a few of Kevin's belongings, before putting them down and leaving without stealing anything, but not without stating that Kevin by stating that he would've been an interesting recruit for ACME. With Kevin considering her a WorthyOpponent, he aspires to improve enough to put a blemish on Carmen Sandiego's thieving record.
* A few victims of Kevin's work had found themselves bound to come back regardless of the effectiveness of the boy's work. Swiper the Fox, due to his compulsion to steal, attempted to sneak in, but always got himself in much pain getting caught by the traps Kevin sets up. Despite it all, he just can't fight the urge to try and come back and steal stuff. Kevin eventually took pity on him and set up a screen which plays a recording of himself saying "Swiper, no swiping!" multiple times, which has fortunately managed to save Swiper plenty of needless suffering. And then there was Salad Fingers, who may or may not have his own reasons for entering Kevin's temple. He may get easily caught and subdued by what Kevin had set up for more sane thieves, but it hasn't scared him off. In fact, Salad Fingers has found the experiences [[TooKinkyToTorture rather pleasing]] for the most part. The day Kevin saw the tall man happily covered in sharp traps and later learning about [[NighInvulnerable who the]] [[NightmareFetishist guy was]], many got to hear Kevin's [[TheScream famous scream]] in person.
* While startled by the extent to which Kevin is willing to put his opposers through, Jimmy Hopkins does admire the idea of punishing the most stubborn criminals with just enough pain to make them feel regret for their poor moral choices. On top of giving Kevin advice about effective trap designs, and nods to individuals that deserve a bit of what Kevin can create (Gary Smith was plenty miserable about getting painfully ejected from his own temple after Kevin found it), Jimmy also helps Kevin manage his mischievous side, reminding him that he should balance his desire to improve his traps with the acknowledgement that Kevin's creations are at their core a tool of deterring, not eliminating. Another individual capable of much deadlier traps, Karl Fairburne, has also given this advice himself, noting that while his traps are explosive and much more lethal, he's doing it to fend off Nazis and other fascists, and the kinds of people their plans and methods target are different.
