Removed the 'Jerkass Hero' entry since Redrick IS supposed to be a jerk, albeit one with good intentions.


* JerkassHero: Redrick. He's impolite, somewhat selfish, confrontational and unsympathetic toward anyone outside his immediate circle. [[spoiler:However, he redeems himself in the end (immediately after allowing a younger man to die) by making a selfless wish for all of humanity.]]
