T Earl King VI (No. 94) provides examples of:


  • Even Evil Has Standards: Tyler King thinks the Russian roulette idea used by the King family is nonsense, but has no problems with it when he's not involved if just to get rid of one less competition from the family.
  • Evil Cripple: T Ear King, who is confined to a wheelchair, hooked into IV's, and using a voicebox. However, his evil business of selling people predates his crippling.
  • Inheritance Murder: The potential heirs have to do auctions as a part of a contest for their inheritance. Whoever loses has to play a game of Russian Roulette. This is to both build up the wealth of the family and to make sure there isn't any squabbling over the inheritance. T Earl King and his sons seem to relish the idea that this will eventually result in one of the sons' deaths.
  • Noodle Incident: Earl and Red had an incident in Bolivia with some soldiers that resulted in King's confinement to a wheelchair, and likely his use of a voice box.
  • Russian Roulette: One of the King heirs has to play a game every year in order to decide who will inherit the family fortune. The player is decided by who has gained the family the most wealth. In the past year.
  • Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: The King family have no redeeming features and their business includes selling people at auctions.
