Corrupt Bureaucrat: Difference between revisions

We have heard about them: Lazy, incompetent, always ''passing the buck'' and more than willing to accept a bribe to "speed things up". This character type exists somewhere in the overlap between [[Punch Clock Villain|Punch Clock Villains]]s and [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|Obstructive Bureaucrats]]s. And are only lazy and incompetent up to the point that it [[No Delays for the Wicked|prevents them]] from getting any work done, however, when someone or something threatens their position or privileges, they forget everything about laziness and incompetence and become relentless in abusing their power, as they would not be above committing murder itself, of crossing the [[Moral Event Horizon]]. This can also happen if they have the object of their ambition within grasp.

* [[Tales From the Mos Eisley Cantina|Feltipern Trevagg]] created new tariffs to line his own pockets, including on the water -- onwater—on a kriffing desert planet. {{spoiler|The barve ends up dead with [[Incredibly Lame Pun|delicious]] irony}}.

** Likewise in ''Up Jim River'', a man offers an official a large demonination bill -- askingbill—asking his opinion of the engraving.
