Mephistophelian-looking - tall, dark, imposing, with a face sharp and pointed, a magnificent rack of curved horns and an equally magnificent beard and mane, and eyes the color of hellfire. Walks with a pronounced limp. Typically wears a sharp business suit over a black sweater, or, less formally, subtly militaristic rivethead-style outfits. His chimerical garb complements that with a dense mantle of torn burlap and numerous chains wrapped around his body. A bell of dull-colored metal rattles on a leather collar on his neck.

Quotes

"I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are the good people and the bad people. You are wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides."
- Lord Havelock Vetinari.

"The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination."
- Voltaire

"You do not make history. You can only hope to survive it."
- G'Kar, "Babylon 5"

"Oh, on most days we lose. But once in a while, just once, it works. And those moments of perfect clarity where all the world is in the palm of your hand, a hundred thousand middling minds made into flawless assembly by your will? Those are worth all the rest."
- Dread Empress Regalia II

"Diese Welt ist der Wille zur Macht — und nichts ausserdem! Und auch ihr selber seid dieser Wille zur Macht — und nichts ausserdem!"
- Friedrich Nietzsce, "Der Wille zur Macht"

Ich will dass ihr mir vertraut
Ich will dass ihr mir glaubt
Ich will eure Blicke spüren
Jeden Herzschlag kontrollieren
- Till Lindemann

"[Ich bin] ein Teil von jener Kraft, / Die stets das Böse will und stets das Gute schafft."
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, "Faust"

And what matters ain't the "Who's baddest," but the
Ones who stop you fallin' from your ladder, 'cause
This is ain't no place for no hero
This ain't no place for no better man
This ain't no place for no hero
To call home
- The Heavy, "Short Change Hero"


  • "You couldn't make him up in a story, it would be too unbelievable. He's one of the most interesting and strangely delightful characters I've come across in my travels, and that's saying a lot."Erzulie Daniels
  • "A capable leader, to be sure. Some of his proclivities do leave me wondering... for example, why he is so fond of thwarted villainy that I expect he craves being beaten repeatedly by Moose and Squirrel."Edwin Devonshire
  • "Oh he's a wonderful Tyrant, he eats my cookies and gives me new recipes to try out he even will snuggle up in warm blankets when we watch movies. He's also really brave because he laughs during the scary parts." - Sweetcrumb
  • "The Tyrant and I understand one another, our roles and our duties, yes. Believe me, I would take cold comfort in that if only I could, but we are what we are, each of us. But we also understand that beggars cannot be choosers in the depths of Winter." - Iris Argiope
