* His goal is to acquire an ancient source of great magical power in order to purge all the \\\"wickedness\\\" in the world.
* His day job is being the [[EvilChancellor royal advisor]] to the king of TheKingdom, but his alter ego is the never-been-seen-in-person \\\"Dark Overlord\\\" who is the mysterious leader of a group of [[ChessMotifs chess-themed]] minions who frequently hires and utilizes the various bandit gangs.
* His main hobby is [[SmartPeoplePlayChess playing chess,]] growing his own grapes, and making his own grape juice ([[FrothyMugsOfWater can’t use wine]] since this IS a children’s film after all).
** He does lampshade his preference for grape juice pointing out that \\\"alcohol clouds the mind\\\".
* He treats his personal chess-themed minions with repsect and trusts them, but has a low opinion of the bandit gangs he frequently has to use. He ultimatly views everybody as [[WeHaveReserves expendable to varying degrees]].
** He doesn’t bother to remember the names of those who won’t benefit him or aren’t a threat. While he memorizes the hero’s name it’s not because he views the hero as a threat, it’s because he views the hero as his [[NiceJobBreakingItHero most useful]] [[UnwittingPawn pawn.]]
* He is mainly based on [[TheGreatMouseDetective Professor Ratigan]] and [[DeathNote Light Yagami]].
* The hero of the story is a street smart DeadpanSnarker Type II AntiHero who is a bit BookDumb with ChronicHeroSyndrome and BloodKnight tendencies (who is also heavily based on Yuri Lowell from \\\'\\\'TalesOfVesperia\\\'\\\')
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** The BigBad is playing three games of chess at once while drinking [[EvilWineglass grape juice out of a wine glass]] when one of his minions comes in. The minion informs the BigBad that his [[{{Mooks}} bandit gang]] has been defeated by the [[RedShirts Kingdom\\\'s Knights]] and the following exchange occurs:
-->BigBad: \\\"I had already taken that possibility into account. [[XanatosGambit The outcome of that skirmish was irrelevant to my plans]].\\\"
-->Minion: \\\"That may be so, but the EliteMooks that you sent to steal the MacGuffin in the confusion were defeated by some passing-by IdiotHero.\\\"
--> ([[DramaticShattering The wineglass cracks]] (but doesn\\\'t shatter) [[AGlassInTheHand in the Big Bad\\\'s hand]])
-->BigBad: (Sternly) \\\"What.\\\"
