→Martellus von Blitzengaard
Line 791:
* [[Didn't Think This Through]]: It's a definite pattern with this guy. He's had 95% of a great plan almost every time he's ever made a major play, and that last 5% he missed is what got him stomped. Has tapered off since he started working with the protagonists, largely because he now has peers available to point out what he's missing.
** Also played with in that several times ''Martellus'' has been the one to point out when the ''heroes'' weren't fully thinking it through.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Despite having tried to kill most of the protagonists multiple times and abduct Agatha, Martellus legitimately ''despises'' the Other. And all parties involved have come to the realization that if they don't unify against the Other then there won't be a Europa left for them to fight over.
{{quote|'''Martellus:''' I will not insult your intelligence by playing the innocent. But I ''swear'', I would put aside this crown in an ''instant'' if I knew it would end the machinations of the Other.}}
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Martellus doesn't hesitate at kinslaying, mass assassinations, abusing [[Sacred Hospitality]] via technicalities, poisoning, kidnapping, or altering a woman's biochemistry so that without regular bodily contact (although not ''that'' kind of contact, simply grabbing his arm will work fine) she'll go into shock and die, or very many other things. But even he has no ruck with Lucrezia Mongfish's use of mind-control wasps, stealing other peoples' bodies, or similar atrocities.
{{Quote|'''Lucrezia:''' You! You want to be the Storm King? Help me and all of Europa will be yours!
'''Martellus:''' I am ''already king'', and ''you'' are a plague upon the land!}}
