The Halfblood Chronicles/YMMV
- Complete Monster: Lord Dyran is utterly without redeeming qualities. He has character traits that might be seen as "good" in another character, or else a mark of a Noble Demon, but in his case these are purely a means to an end.
- Magnificent Bastard: Lord Dyran. An example of My Species Doth Protest Too Much who discards a lot of the Politically Incorrect Villainy of his kind and rewards his slaves and retainers generously...and all his virtuous qualities just make him more dangerous.
