* CompleteMonster: [[SmugSnake Hans Gruber]] is the egotistical terrorist leader who leads the takeover of the Klaxon Oil Building intent on the destruction of its Vault. Personally killing a security guard--and locking the entrance with the latter's key card--Hans takes over 30 people hostage, taking a piece of identification from each hostage. Feigning pleasantries while taking Klaxon executive Joseph Rivers into the boardroom, Hans kills Rivers for a lack of cooperation, [[SmallNameBigEgo taking offense to Rivers's lack of fear towards him]].
