True. but I also want ot foreshadow his vicious feral inner nature (a la Professor Ratigan from \'\'TheGreatMouseDetective\'\') in the ECM. It\'s a big part of his personality and motives.

True. but I also want ot foreshadow his vicious feral inner nature (a la Professor Ratigan from \\\'\\\'TheGreatMouseDetective\\\'\\\') in the ECM. It\\\'s a big part of his personality and motives. In fact when his plans fail, he isn\\\'t losing his temper out of arrogance like a SmugSnake. Rather, he\\\'s aware that plans that fail will upset the planner, but when he gets upset it causes his inner monster to want to come out and he tries to restrain his inner monster using his facade of [[FauxAffablyEvil eleg]][[WickedCultured ance]] and [[DeadpanSnarker sarcasm.]]

* Speaking of which, he also has a [[TheDragon right-hand-man]] codenamed \\\"Queen\\\" (still deciding on the gender of TheDragon) who is the field commander of his forces and acts as TheWatson.
** In another demonstration of his genre savviness, during his NearVillainVictory (when the source of great magical power is just within his reach) he pulls the WeCanRuleTogether card on the hero, pointing out that their [[NotSoDifferent goals aren\\\'t so different]] and that keeping all that power to himself will [[DrunkWithPower surely drive him insane.]] When the hero refuses, the BigBad smugly points out that if he refused the offer, he was just distracting the hero while TheDragon gets into position to attack the princess. This causes the hero to perform a TakingTheBullet to save the princess and the princess uses ThePowerOfLove to [[DisneyDeath bring him back to life]], but it also unlocks the final seal on the magical power source.

I also forgot to mention that he is \'\'very\'\' DangerouslyGenreSavvy and uses his GenreSavvy to create gambits that take advantage of ThePowerOfLove. For example, one XanatosGambit has him ordering his minions to kidnap the princess and then he convinces the king to send the hero to rescue her. If he fails, the hero will be destroyed and won\'t be able to interfere with his plans plus he can eliminate the princess which will cause a succesion crisis in TheKingdom that he can exploit. If the hero suceeds then the princess and the hero [[RescueRomance will fall]] [[LoveAtFirstSight in love]] (this causes his [[TheDragon right-hand-man]] to do a FlatWhat when he tells him/her this).

*Oh Yeah, the princess is a DeadpanSnarker BadassBookworm ActionGirl. (I should probably put this idea in TroperWorks)
