** Short version: like {{Dexter}}, Niels is a sociopath who has a very few people he has an honest emotional connection to and cares about, but unlike Dexter does not channel his psychopathic tendencies into trying to do good.

* FreudianExcuse: Niels lost his virginity at a young age to a much older black woman whom he saw as a mother figure. As a result he grew up to have a particular taste for black people, as well as considering sex to be the ultimate form of familial love, hence why he murdered his pseudo-father figure mentor for not reciprocating his feelings. Humon has stated this could become an issue when Kiddo grows older.

* ButNotTooEvil: After growing sick of all the [[DracoInLeatherPants Draco-ing]] of rapist/child molester/cult leader Peter, Humon posted an image of him about to [[{{Squick}} molest his daughter]], to underline the fact that "He is not a nice person, no matter how [[EvillyAffable funny]] he is." The InternetBackdraft was incredible. Most of it was made of people asking [[CompletelyMissingThePoint how could she draw something so cruel]].

He's really quite tactless and inept in any situation where he's required to ''be himself'' - he's fine in situations when there's a certain "script" to follow (for example, his run-ins with Niels have a standard pattern; likewise, seducing a woman requires the same general conversation every time).

* SpotlightStealingSquad: The moment Agent 250 was introduced, he and 300 had been getting much more attention than Niels and the others, mostly because if 250 was in the same room as the other's he'd shoot them dead. Humon seems to enjoy making multiple pages of their budding relationship.
