INTRODUCED SHREK    LORD FARQUAAD LORD FARQUAADVOICED BY: JOHN LHGOW FOREIGN VAS  PHILIPPE CATOIRE (EUROPEAN FRENCH), HUMBERTO VéLEZ (LAT AMERIN SPANISH DUB), FU SHUANG (TW MANDAR) "MIRROR, MIRROR, ON THE WALL, IS THIS NOT THE MOST PERFECT KGDOM OF THEM ALL?"LORD FARQUAAD IS THE ILLY SHORT, THLS LER OF THE HUGE STLE OF DULOC AND THE BIG BAD OF THE FIRST FILM. AMBN IS EVIL: WHY DO HE WANT TO MARRY FNA? SO HE N BEE ROYALTY BY MARRIAGE AND PROCLAIM HIMSELF A KG. AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICG: EVERYONE ATTENDG HIS WEDDG LGHS AND CHEERS WHEN DRAGON CRASH THROUGH THE WDOW AND EATS HIM ALIVE. ARISTOCRATS ARE EVIL: HE BANISHED ALL FAIRY TALE CREATUR DULOC TO A SWAMP, AND IS HEAVILY IMPLIED TO BE AN THORARIAN. BAD BOSS: HIM WANTG FNA FOR HIMSELF? HE'LL JT TOSS SR OF KNIGHTS AT THE DRAGON GUARDG HER. SOME OF THEM MAY DIE, BUT THAT IS A RISK HE'S WILLG TO TAKE. BASEMENT-DWELLER: KEEPS PLAG THE MIL ABOUT HIS FATHER ABANDONG HIM BUT HIS DAD SAYS HE THREW HIM OUT BEE HE WAS 28 AND LIVG THE BASEMENT. BIG BAD: HE IS THE DIRECT STIGATOR OF ALL STORY NFLICTS THROUGH SENDG FAIRY-TALE CREATUR TO THE SWAMP, SENDG SHREK OUT TO BRG BACK FNA WH THE AL OF GETTG THE CREATUR OUT OF HIS SWAMP, AND THEN TRYG TO FORCIBLY MARRY FNA AFTER SHE FALLS FOR SHREK. BOOMERANG BIGOT: IN SHREK: THE MIL, 'S REVEALED THAT HIS FATHER WAS GMPY OF THE SEVEN DWARV. CONSIRG DWARV ARE A TYPE OF FAIRY TALE CREATURE THAT WAS MOVED TO SHREK'S SWAMP, IS PRETTY CLEAR THAT FARQUAAD ISN'T PROUD OF THIS FACT AND IS JT AS RACIST TO HIS FELLOW DWARV AS HE IS TO EVERY OTHER MAGIL CREATURE. CANON FOREIGNER: HE WAS CREATED JT FOR THE MOVIE. COLD-BLOOD TORTURE: INFLICTS ON GGY. COMPENSATG FOR SOMETHG: SHREK SPECTS THIS WHEN HE SE HIS HUGE STLE. THOUGH NSIRG HE HADN'T YET SEEN HIM, 'S IMPLIED HE BELIEV TO BE PENSATN FOR SOMETHG OTHER THAN HIS HEIGHT... CEL AND UNUAL DEATH: HE'S SHOWN TO STILL BE ALIVE SI DRAGON'S STOMACH AT THE END OF THE MOVIE, BUT THE 4D RI MAK FAIRLY OBV THAT HE WAS DIGTED TO ATH SOON AFTER. DEAR THAN DEAD: IN THE 4D RI, FARQUAAD'S GHOST IS VAPORIZED BY DRAGON'S FIRE BREATH AT THE END. DEADPAN SNARKER: HAS HIS MOMENTS, PECIALLY TOWARDS SHREK.FARQUAAD: [UPON FIRST SEEG SHREK] WHAT IS THAT?! IT'S HIO! SHREK: AH, THAT'S NOT VERY NICE. IT'S JT A DONKEY. [DONKEY LOOKS CRLO] FARQUAAD: INED. DEPRAVED DWARF: HE'S VERY SHORT AND A TERRIBLE MAN. TAKEN FURTHER THE MIL WHERE HE LERALLY IS HALF-DWARF. DIRTY COWARD: THIS IS THE CLEAR REASON WHY HE WOULDN’T PERSONALLY RCUE FNA OM THE DRAGON GUARD STLE AND TRI TO GET SOMEONE ELSE TO DO FOR HIM. DO NOT LIKE MAGIC: HE ORRS ALL OF THE FAIRY-TALE CREATUR HIS LAND TO BE ROUND UP AND IMPRISONED SHREK'S SWAMP, SEEG THEM AS A BLIGHT ON HIS "PERFECT WORLD". EATEN ALIVE: FARQUAAD GETS WHAT HE SERV AT THE WEDDG AND GETS EATEN BY DRAGON. DRAGON BELCH OUT HIS CROWN A FEW SENDS LATER. EGOPOLIS: DULOC IS ONE FOR HIM.EVIL BR: HE SPEAKS WH A VAGUELY ENGLISH ACCENT, NTRAST TO SHREK'S STTISH ACCENT.--> EVIL IS HAMMY: HE REALLY BRGS THE HAM AS YOU'D EXPECT OM A FAIRY TALE VILLA. OF URSE, BEG PLAYED JOHN LHGOW MAK UNAVOIDABLE. EVIL OVERLORD: THOUGH PARATIVELY MOR (HA!) THE GRAND SCHEME OF THGS PARED TO THE VILLAS OF THE NEXT THREE MOVI, HE STILL FS THE ARCHETYPE THE WAYS THAT TLY MATTER. EVIL SOUNDS DEEP: JOHN LHGOW'S VOICE IS PRETTY EP, EVEN THOUGH LORD FARQUAAD IS RATHER SHORT. FACE PALM: HAS THIS REACTN WHEN HIS MEN ARE GETTG TRASHED BY SHREK AND DONKEY THE ARENA BRAWL. FAY-UNIENDLY DEATH: BEG EATEN ALIVE IS A B EXTREME. THE KARAOKE SEGMENT IMPLI HE SURVIVED DRAGON'S BELLY FOR SOME TIME BEFORE HE WAS EVENTUALLY DIGTED. FANTASTIC RACISM: HE HAT ALL FAIRY TALE CREATUR, CLUDG HUMAN ON SUCH AS WCH AND THE PIED PIPER. FOR HIM, THE PERFECT WORLD IS ONE WHOUT FAIRY TALE CREATUR. FX AFFABLY EVIL: PRENTS HIMSELF AS POLE AND RDIAL, IF SMUG. BUT HE'S AN THORATIVE, THLS, SADISTIC, AND SELFISH LER WHO WANTS TO CLEANSE HIS "PERFECT WORLD" OF ALL FAIRY TALE CREATUR.FARQUAAD: [TO FNA, AFTER SHE STAT SHE WAS SAYG GOODBYE TO SHREK] THAT IS SO PREC. YOU DON'T NEED TO WASTE GOOD MANNERS ON THE OGRE! [CHUCKLG, THEN GLARG AT SHREK] IT'S NOT LIKE HAS FEELGS. FDAL OVERLORD: ONE WHO WANTS TO CLIMB THE SOCIAL LADR AND BEE A KG. FOR THE EVULZ: WHILE HIS TORTURE OF GGY IS FOR PURPOS OF TERROGATN, HE TAK ALTOGETHER TOO MUCH PLEASURE TO SAY 'S JT A MEANS TO AN END. FOR WANT OF A NAIL: FARQUAAD'S SIRE TO HAVE FNA AS HIS QUEEN HIM TO SILENCE THE MAGIC MIRROR WHEN HE TRI TO WARN HIM ABOUT FNA'S CURSE. THIS SETS OFF THE PLOT NOT JT OF THIS FILM BUT EVERY SUBSEQUENT FILM THE ANCHISE AND FOILS THE PLANS OF EVERY OTHER VILLA. GHASTLY GHOST: HE RETURNS THE 4D RI AS A GHOST WH THE GOAL TO KILL FNA AND MAKE HER HIS QUEEN. GLOR LEAR: PRETENDS TO RE ABOUT HIS SUBJECTS WHEN REALY HE ONLY WANTS THE PRCS SO HE N BE A KG. NEEDLS TO SAY, THE PEOPLE OF DULOC DO NOT MOURN HIS ATH. GOLD DIGGER: HE ONLY WANTED FNA'S TLE. HE STANTLY TURNS ON HER THE MOMENT HE DISVERS HER SECRET. HALF-HUMAN HYBRID: IN THE MIL, HE'S HALF-HUMAN, HALF-DWARF. HATE SK: WHILE FARQUAAD HAS SOME HILAR QUALI, DON'T EXEMPT THE FACT THAT HE'S STILL A SPIBLE HUMAN BEG. HE'S A BIGOT WHO GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO EXILE FAIRY TALE CHARACTERS FOR WHAT THEY ARE, HE HAS A SPEFUL AND HGHTY EGO, WARDLY TRI TO EXPLO HIS TROOPS TO RCUE FNA OM THE FIERY STLE (WHICH UNDOUBTEDLY WOULD'VE RULTED MOST IF NOT ALL OF THEM DYG) AND TAK CRED FOR THEIR WORK BEFORE THEY EVEN GO, TRI TO EXPLO FNA FOR THE TLE HE'D GET OM MARRYG HER (AND THEN CELLY TRI TO SEPARATE HER OM SHREK AND IMPRISON HER FOR LIFE AFTER HE DISVERS HER OGRS FORM), DON’T THANK SHREK AND DONKEY FOR THE RCUE AND 'S IMPLIED THAT HE HAD AN NOCENT MOTHER (ONE OF THE THREE BEARS) KILLED JT TO MAKE HER HI TO A THROWG. WHEN HE MEETS HIS ATH AT THE MAW OF THE DRAGON, HE GETS ABSOLUTELY NO SYMPATHY OM THE DIENCE... EVEN -UNIVERSE AT HIS OWN WEDDG. HEIGHT ANGST: IS MUCH SHORTER THAN OTHER CHARACTERS HIS REALM, FOR WHICH HE TAK RIDICULO MEASUR TO PENSATE. HYPOCRE: DPE HIS SELF-PROFSED HATRED TOWARDS FAIRY TALE CREATUR, FARQUAAD SEEMGLY HAS NO PROBLEMS WH KEEPG THE MAGIC MIRROR HIS STLE AND FERRG TO HIM FOR ADVICE. IT'S ALL ABOUT ME: EVERYTHG HE DO IS ABOUT SATISFYG HIS OWN WHIMS AND FURTHERG HIS OWN AMBNS. I GAVE MY WORD: WHILE HE'S AN EVIL CREEP, HE'S AT LEAST A MAN OF HIS WORD. AS SOON AS SHREK PLET THE QUT TO BRG FNA TO DULOC, FARQUAAD IMMEDIATELY GIV SHREK THE ED TO HIS SWAMP BACK, AND HAS HIS MEN CLEAR OUT THE FAIRY TALE CREATUR FOR HIM, JT AS PROMISED. FARQUAAD WOULD HAVE BEEN QUE HAPPY TO LEAVE SHREK ALONE TO HIS LONOME, BEE HE GOT WHAT HE WANTED. JERKASS: AS VILE OF A PERSON AS HE IS, HE AT LEAST TREATS FNA WELL WHEN HE MEETS HER, EVEN AGREEG TO WED ON THE SAME DAY THEY MET AT HER REQUT—BUT OF URSE, THIS IS ONLY BEE 'LL MAKE HIM KG, AND HE ONLY HAS A LTFUL CSH ON HER STEAD OF GENUE LOVE. ONCE HE GOT WED TO FNA AND FOUND OUT ABOUT HER OGRS FORM, HE IMMEDIATELY DROPS THE CHARA, LLS HER HIO (AND AN "IT" AS WELL), SICS HIS GUARDS ON HER AND HOLDS A DAGGER TO HER THROAT, MAKG HIS TENTNS TO IMPRISON HER CLEAR. EVEN IF FNA WASN’T CURSED, THERE’S NO GUARANTEE HE WOULD’VE TREATED HER RIGHT.FARQUAAD: AND AS FOR YOU, MY "WIFE", I'LL HAVE YOU LOCKED BACK THAT TOWER FOR THE RT OF YOUR DAYS! JT DSERTS: DRAGON VOURS HIM AFTER HE ORRS SHREK AND FNA TO BE IMPRISONED. KARMIC DEATH: HE IS EATEN BY THE VERY DRAGON WHO HAD BEEN GUARDG THE PRCS HE WANTED TO MARRY. KICK THE DOG: MOCKG GGY'S ABILY TO N ANYMORE AND THEN CSHG HIS LEFT LEG RIGHT ONT OF HIM WHILE MAKG RACIST REMARKS AT HIM AND THE OTHER FAIRY TALE CHARACTERS. WHEN SHREK BRGS FNA AS PROMISED, WHILE HE DO HAND OVER THE ED TO HIS SWAMP AS AGREED HE DON’T THANK SHREK AND TELLS HIM TO TAKE BEFORE HE CHANG HIS MD. WHEN HE REALIZ SHREK IS LOVE WH FNA, HE NOT ONLY LGHS AT HIM DISBELIEF, BUT GETS THE ENTIRE CHURCH TO LGH AT SHREK ALONG WH HIM. AND THE FAL CHERRY ON THE SUNDAE? AS SOON AS HE FDS OUT FNA IS AN OGRS, HE LLS HER AN "IT" AND ORRS HER IMPRISONED BACK THE TOWER FOR THE RT OF HER LIFE WHILE SHREK, HER REAL TE LOVE, WILL BE TORTURED TO ATH. LARGE HAM: IT MORE THAN PENSAT! LGHABLY EVIL: DPE BEG A HATE SK, HE STILL PROVIS A FEW OF THE FILM'S MANY HUMORO MOMENTS DUE TO JOHN LHGOW BRGG HIS UAL THEATRILY. MEANGFUL NAME: HIS NAME SOUNDS AN AWFUL LOT LIKE WHAT THE "F" G.I.F.T STANDS FOR. WORD OF GOD NFIRMS THIS AS TENTNAL, SAYG WAS THE CLOST THEY ULD GET. MISSG MOM: HIS MOTHER, PRCS PEA, WHILE SLEEPG, FELL 25 MATTRS HIGH TO HER ATH, MEANG THAT GMPY RAISED FARQUAAD ALONE. MISTER BIG: ABOUT THREE FEET TALL AND THE EVIL HEAD OF A RACIST KGDOM. NAMED BY THE ADAPTATN: THE MIL GIV HIS FIRST NAME AS MAXIM. WHICH IS IRONIC, AS THE MEANGS OF MAXIM ARE "LARGT" AND "GREATT", BOTH OF WHICH HE CERTALY ISN'T, UNLS, OF URSE, STEAD REFERS TO HOW MUCH OF AN "F" HE IS... THE NAPOLEON: FARQUAAD IS SO SHORT THAT SOME POSTERS HAVE FNA TOWER OVER HIM EVEN WHEN SHE'S STG AND HE'S STANDG. A NAZI BY ANY OTHER NAME: DULOC (AND THE SURROUNDG TERRORI SEEMS TO OCCUPY) WAS SIGNED TO BE A MUGGLE ETHNOSTATE, TAKG ANYONE OR ANYTHG MAGIL (EXCEPT FOR THE MAGIC MIRROR WHICH HE FOR EGO-BOOSTG) AND HAVG THEM FORCIBLY RELOTED AWAY TO SHREK'S SWAMP.FARQUAAD: I'M NOT THE MONSTER HERE, YOU ARE. YOU AND THE RT OF THAT FAIRY TALE TRASH POISONG MY PERFECT WORLD. NICE JOB FIXG IT, VILLA: QUE BY ACCINT, HE SCREWS UP THE PLANS OF ALL THREE OTHER BIG BADS OM THE OTHER MA SHREK FILMS. NO CELEBRI WERE HARMED: BELIEVED TO BE A PARODY OF MICHAEL EISNER, DUE TO DREAMWORKS FOUNR JEFEY KATZENBERG'S WELL-KNOWN DISGT FOR THE FORMER DISNEY CEO. HIS ROUNDG UP AND IMPRISONG OF ALL OF THE FAIRY TALE CREATUR ULD BE SEEN AS A DIG AT DISNEY FOR MONOPOLIZG THE MARKET FOR ANIMATED AND/OR FAIRY TALE FILMS. NO HISTORIL FIGUR WERE HARMED: FARQUAAD SEEMS TO BE BASED ON THE FRENCH NOBLE DE CHARL, THE BOLD OF BURGUNDY, WHO, JT LIKE FARQUAAD, LED A POWERFUL DUCHY BUT GOT KILLED BEE OF HIS ARROGANCE AND EXPANSNIST POLICI, WHICH LED HIS REALM AND DYNASTY TO . NON-ACTN BIG BAD: THE MOST VLENT THG HE DO THE MOVIE IS GRAB FNA AND HOLD A KNIFE TO HER TOWARDS THE END, WHICH LEADS DIRECTLY TO HIS ATH. NOT-SO-WELL-INTENTNED EXTREMIST: WHEN HE WANTS TO JTIFY HIS ACTNS, HE AM WHAT HE DO AS TRYG TO MAKE HIS REALM A "PERFECT WORLD," BUT 'S CLEAR THAT HE JT WANTS POWER AND FOR HIS DOMN TO NFORM TO HIS STANDARDS. PARENTAL ABANDONMENT: CLAIMS THIS THE MIL, BUT WAS ACTUALLY THROWN OUT FOR BEG A BASEMENT-DWELLER. THE PERFECTNIST: HE WAS OBSSED WH MAKG DULOC PERFECT. THIS IS WHY HE EXPELLED ALL THE FAIRY TALE CREATUR AS HE VIEWED THEM AS G HIS PERFECT IMAGE. HE TEND TO MARRY PRCS FNA, VIEWG HER AS PERFECT, TO OFFICIALLY HAVE THE TLE OF KG AND MAKE DULOC A KGDOM. PET THE DOG: WHILE HE HAD SOME JERK WH A HEART OF JERK MOMENTS, HE WAS WILLG TO GIVE SHREK HIS SWAMP IF HE RCU PRCS FNA RETURN AND KEEPS HIS WORD ONCE HE DO WH NO STRGS ATTACHED. POLILLY INRRECT VILLA: LOATH FAIRY TALE CREATUR AND HAS THEM ALL PORTED TO SHREK'S SWAMP. PRAGMATIC VILLAY: SHREK MAY HAVE ENTERED TO THE TOURNAMENT AT THE LAST MUTE, BUT FARQUAAD CLEARLY SE A WAY TO GET WHAT HE WANTS THROUGH SHREK ONCE HE WS. AFTER SHREK BRGS FNA TO DULOC AS PROMISED, FARQUAAD KEEPS HIS WORD AND GIV SHREK THE ED TO HIS SWAMP WHILE CLEARG OUT ALL THE FAIRY TALE CREATUR, JT AS PROMISED. IN FACT, FARQUAAD WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECTLY NTENT TO LEAVE SHREK ALONE AFTER THAT, BEE HE HAD NO FURTHER REASON TO ANTAGONIZE SHREK. PUNNY NAME: AN OBV MCED OATH FOR "FUCKWAD," WHICH SUS HIS VILE PERSONALY. ALSO UNTS AS A MEANGFUL NAME. RED AND BLACK AND EVIL ALL OVER: HIS OUTF IS MOSTLY RED AND BLACK (WH SOME GOLD) AND AS THE RT OF THIS PAGE N TELL YOU, HE IS NOT A GOOD MAN. RELATED THE ADAPTATN: IN THE MIL, HIS PARENTS ARE PRCS PEA AND GMPY. SMUG SNAKE: THOUGH HE HAS PRETENSNS TOWARDS BEG A GREAT KG, 'S BLATANTLY OBV HE'S AN IDTIC, CHILDISH, SELF-CENTERED PRAT WHO MANDS NO RPECT OM ANYONE. SPANNER THE WORKS: IF HE HADN'T CID TO PURSUE PRCS FNA AND SENT SHREK AFTER HER, THE FAIRY GODMOTHER'S AL WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH WHOUT A HCH. HELL, HE MANAG TO BE THIS TO ALL THREE OF THE OTHER MOVI' VILLAS: HE SCREWED OVER PRCE CHARMG BY EXTENSN OF G FAIRY GODMOTHER'S PLAN. RUMPELSTILTSK WAS ABOUT TO SUCCSFULLY NVCE FNA'S PARENTS TO SIGN A NTRACT TO SAVE HER AND GET THEIR KGDOM, BUT THEY THEN GET THE NEWS THAT SHREK HAD RCUED FNA. STARTER VILLA: SERV AS THIS FOR THE SHREK SERI, BUT IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPACTFUL OF THEM ALL AS WELL AS SEEN ABOVE. SWALLOWED WHOLE: HE IS SWALLOWED WHOLE BY DRAGON, AND IF THE KARAOKE DANCE PARTY SEGMENT IS TO BE BELIEVED, HE STAYED ALIVE HER STOMACH FOR SOME TIME BEFORE EVENTUALLY BEG DIGTED BY HER BEFORE THE EVENTS OF THE SEQUEL. TEENY WEENIE: IT'S A RUNNG GAG THAT DONKEY AND SHREK THK HE HAS THIS, BUT 'S KEPT SUBTLE ENOUGH THAT YOU ULD MISTAKE FOR CRACKS ABOUT HIS HEIGHT. THAT SAID, 'S AT LEAST LARGE ENOUGH TO MAKE A NOTICEABLE BULGE AGAST HIS BEDSHEETS...SHREK: [SEEG LORD FARQUAAD'S LARGE STLE] DO YOU THK HE'S COMPENSATG FOR SOMETHG? TY GUY, HUGE GIRL: TY GUY TO FNA'S HUGE GIRL, BEFORE SHE MARRI SHREK. TOOK A LEVEL JERKASS: FARQUAAD OM THE FIRST MOVIE WAS STILL AS CEL AS EVER, BUT HE ALSO WAS WILLG TO NEGOTIATE WH SHREK TO GET HIS SWAMP BACK AND EVEN CLEARS OUT AS PER THEIR AGREEMENT. IN SHREK 4D, HE DON'T SEEM TO SHOW ANY SIAR REEMG QUALI WHATSOEVER. HE ALSO WASN'T QUE AS MALIC/PABLE OF MURR AS HE WAS THE ATTRACTN. UGLY HERO, GOOD-LOOKG VILLA: EVEN WH HIS EXCEPTNALLY SHORT STATURE, LORD FARQUAAD IS RATHER HANDSOME, WH STYLISH BLACK HAIR, A EP VOICE, AND A SQUARE CH. SHREK, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS BALD, FAT, AND HAS EARS LIKE LTLE SNAIL'S EYE-STALKS. UNGRATEFUL BASTARD: WHEN SHREK BRGS FNA, FARQUAAD DON’T THANK SHREK OR DONKEY AND PLETELY TAK CRED FOR THE RCUE, EVEN TELLG FNA SHE SHOULDN’T SAY GOODBYE TO SHREK. DOWNPLAYED THAT HE ACTUALLY DO FULFILL HIS END OF THE BARGA BY GIVG SHREK THE ED TO HIS SWAMP AND RELOTG THE "SANCTUARY". UTOPIA JTIFI THE MEANS: IT'S A "UTOPIA" ONLY FOR HIM, THOUGH. VILLAO BREAKDOWN: HAS ONE WHEN SHREK STORMS HIS WEDDG AND FNA REVEALS HER NATURE AS AN OGRS. HE ORRS HIS KNIGHTS TO SEIZE THEM BOTH AND STARTS SHOUTG FOR ORR AND RANTG ABOUT HOW HE'S KG. AND THEN HE SPENDS HIS FAL MOMENTS SCREAMG FEAR AS DRAGON EATS HIM ALIVE. VILLAO CSH: HAS A VERY CREEPY ONE ON FNA... UNTIL HE DISVERS HER SECRET. VILLAS NEVER LIE: THE ONE AND ONLY REEMG TRA HE HAS TO HIS NAME IS ACTUALLY GIVG SHREK HIS SWAMP BACK AS PROMISED. IT DON’T MAKE HIM LS UNGRATEFUL, THOUGH.FARQUAAD: VERY WELL, OGRE. THE ED TO YOUR SWAMP, CLEARED OUT, AS AGREED. TAKE AND GO, BEFORE I CHANGE MY MD. VOL DISSONANCE: HE'S A VERY SMALL MAN WH JOHN LHGOW'S POWERFUL, DRAMATIC VOICE. WE HAVE RERV: HE VIEWS HIS KNIGHTS AS EXPENDABLE AND READY TO SACRIFICE THEM TO RCUE PRCS FNA.FARQUAAD: SOME OF YOU MAY DIE, BUT 'S A SACRIFICE I AM WILLG TO MAKE. XANATOS GAMB: WHEN SHREK FEATS THE KNIGHTS HE GATHERED FOR THE TOURNEY, HE PROMIS TO GIVE HIM OWNERSHIP OF THE SWAMP WHICH HE LIV AND PUT THE PTURED FAIRY TALE CREATUR SOMEWHERE ELSE... IF HE BACK TO DULOC WH PRCS FNA. HE N CLAIM VICTORY WHETHER SHREK SUCCEEDS OR FAILS: IF SHREK SUCCEEDS, HE HAS FNA, HASN'T RISKED THE LIV OF ANY OF HIS MEN, AND ONLY HAS TO GIVE UP A B OF SWAMPLAND; IF SHREK FAILS, HE'LL HAVE ONE LS NUISANCE TO AL WH AND N ALWAYS SEND SOMEONE ELSE TO DO THE JOB. XANATOS SPEED CHS: HIS IAL PLAN IS TO HOLD A TOURNAMENT TO TERME WHO THE FIRST KNIGHT HE'LL SEND FOR FNA WILL BE. WHEN SHREK SHOWS UP, HE CIS TO NAME THE KNIGHT WHO N KILL SHREK HIS CHAMPN AND SEND HIM TO GO AND SAVE FNA. WHEN SHREK BEATS THEM ALL, HE SIMPLY CLAR SHREK THE CHAMPN AND CUTS A AL WH HIM. YOU ARE WHAT YOU HATE: THE MIL REVEALS THAT HE'S HALF-DWARF, MEANG THAT HE'S ONE OF THE FAIRYTALE WEIRDOS HE'S TRYG TO BAN OM DULOC.    THELON THELONVOICED BY: CHRISTOPHER KNIGHTS FOREIGN VAS  RAúL LA FUENTE (LAT AMERIN SPANISH DUB) LORD FARQUAAD'S RIGHT-HAND MAN, TORTURER AND EXECUTNER. CHUCK CUNNGHAM SYNDROME: AFTER 4D, HE IS NEHER SEEN NOR MENTNED AGA ASI OM A FEW VIO GAME APPEARANC. THE DZ: SHOWS SIGNS OF THIS. HE TOLD LORD FARQUAAD TO PICK NUMBER THREE: PRCS FNA... WHILE HOLDG UP TWO FGERS. THE DRAGON: TO FARQUAAD. DUMB MCLE: HE DON'T HAVE MUCH THE WAY OF SMARTS, BUT HE'S STRONG ENOUGH TO SMASH A MIRROR EFFORTLSLY. DISNEY VILLA DEATH: IN THE IC BOOK ADAPTN OF 4D HE FALLS TO HIS ATH OM A CLIFF AND IS SEEN AS A GHOST LATER. THIS ISN'T THE SE THE FILM, BUT HE IS STILL NEVER SEEN AGA. THE FACELS: HIS FACE, OR ANY PART OF HIS BODY, IS NEVER SEEN DUE TO HIS LONG UNIFORM. HEEL–FACE TURN: HTED AT AFTER SHREK NFS HIS LOVE TO FNA, AT WHICH POT HE STCTS THE STLE DIENCE TO "AWWW" AND IS LATER SHOWN CLAPPG AT THEIR WEDDG. IN 4D AT THE VERY END, HE'S SHOWN STANDG BEHD SHREK, FNA, AND DONKEY RIGHT BEFORE THE DRAGON STROYS FARQUAAD'S GHOST AND DON'T MAKE ANY MOVE TO STOP HIS MISE.

BOOK BY WILLIAM STEIG. SHE SEEKS TO GET THE BT FOR HERSELF AND HER SON PRCE CHARMG, RATHER THAN OTHERS. SHE OFTEN RORTS TO BLACKMAIL AND TRICKERY THROUGH MAGIC TO GET HER WAY. SHE ACTS AS THE BIG BAD OF SHREK 2. ADAPTATNAL HEROISM: WHEN SHREK 2 WAS NEW, THERE WAS AN ONLE FLASH GAME, SIMPLY TLED SHREK 2 MAGIC POTN MAKER, ON THE OFFICIAL WEBSE THAT HAD HER AS AN ALLY. YOUR GOAL WAS TO FD ALL OF THE GREDIENTS FOR THE POTN TO TURN DONKEY TO A HORSE. POSSIBLY DONE AS A WAY TO HI HER TE ROLE AS THE MOVIE'S BIG BAD. IN SHREK THE MIL, SHE'S JT ANOTHER ONE OF THE WELL-MEANG AND DISPLACED FAIRY TALE CREATUR. ADAPTATNAL UGLS: THE NSOLE GAM MAKE HER A UMPY, WRKLED OLD HAG. ADAPTATNAL VILLAY: USUALLY WHEN YOU THK "FAIRY GODMOTHER", THE IMAGE IS THAT SHE'S A KD AND LOVG BEG, WHO DON'T JUDGE ANYONE BASED ON APPEARANCE. HOWEVER, THIS FAIRY GODMOTHER IS THE OPPOSE OF THAT TRADNAL OUTLOOK EVERY WAY. AGE LIFT: SHE APPEARS A GOOD AL OLR THE NSOLE GAM. ARRANGED MARRIAGE: SHE AND KG HAROLD ARRANGED THIS FOR FNA AND CHARMG EXCHANGE FOR TURNG HAROLD TO A HUMAN AND UNDOG HER OGRE CURSE. IMPLIED TO HAVE DONE THE SAME WH HAROLD AND LILLIAN. AWOMENS BY ANALYSIS: AFTER SHREK AND HIS IENDS STEAL THE BETY POTN OM HER POTN FACTORY, AS SOON AS SHE HEARS OM ONE OF THE WORKERS WHAT POTN WAS STOLEN, SHE IMMEDIATELY PUTS TOGETHER WHAT SHREK PLANS TO DO WH , AND ALSO FORMULAT A UNTER PLAN. BATMAN GAMB: WHEN LIFE GIV YOU LEMONS, MAKE LEMONA. WHEN SHREK STEALS HER HAPPILY EVER AFTER POTN TO MAKE HIMSELF A HANDSOME HUMAN AN ATTEMPT TO BE A BETTER SUED HBAND FOR FNA, SHE CIS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND PASS CHARMG OFF AS THE TRANSFORMED SHREK TO GET HIM AND FNA TOGETHER. BETY EQUALS GOODNS: A FIRM BELIEVER OF THIS. SHE BELIEV ONLY BETIFUL PEOPLE N GET HAPPY ENDGS, WHEREAS UGLY PEOPLE DON'T EVEN SERVE TO GET HAPPY ENDGS. BIG BAD: OF THE SEND MOVIE, THOUGH SHE N ALSO BE SEEN AS THIS FOR THE SERI, SCE SHE DICTATED WHO N HAVE A HAPPILY EVER AFTER, AND HOW 'D GO DOWN, THE TWO PRIMARY SENTIMENTS THE FILMS REBEL AGAST. ADDNALLY, SHE SET UP PRCE CHARMG TO BE FNA'S HBAND SO THAT SHE N HER THE THRONE AND LE FAR FAR AWAY, A PLOT POT THAT'D NTUE TO THE THIRD MOVIE VIA CHARMG'S REVENGE, AND TO SOME EXTENT EVEN THE FIRST FILM, WHERE FNA MENTNS THIS HAVG TO BE THE SE WHEN SHREK RCU HER. BIG BETIFUL WOMAN: IS ON THE HEAVY SI, BUT THE BT POSSIBLE WAY. BCH SHEEP'S CLOTHG: COM OFF AS SWEET AND KD DURG HER FIRST APPEARANCE, BUT IS LATER REVEALED TO BE QUE CEL. BLACK-AND-WHE INSANY: SHE HOLDS FIRM TO THE CLASSIC FAIRYTALE STEREOTYP WH THE GOOD GUYS BEG THE BETIFUL AND THE BAD GUYS ARE THE UGLY ON. THAT SHE DON'T WANT SHREK TO BE FNA'S HBAND ISN'T JT BEE TERFER WH HER PLAN TO SECURE POWER OVER FAR FAR AWAY, BUT ALSO BEE SHE IS UNABLE TO FANTHOM THAT EVEN HIO CREATUR LIKE SHREK N LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER, WHICH PLAYS A PART G HER VILLAO BREAKDOWN. BLACKMAIL: HOW SHE KEEPS HAROLD UNR HER THUMB. UNTIL THE ENDG THAT IS... CARD-CARRYG VILLA: SHE'S NOT ASHAMED TO ADM TO THE KG THAT SHE TRICKS UP HER SLEEVE TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE'S FEELGS AND MAKE THEM FALL LOVE, AS SHE PLANS TO DO WH PRCE CHARMG AND FNA. THE CHSMASTER: HER "HAPPILY EVER AFTERS" ARE ACTUALLY HER WAY OF CURRYG FAVOR WH THE NOBILY, AND SHE SPENDS MOST OF THE FILM MAKG E OF THOSE FAVORS TO MANIPULATE HER SON TO THE PATH OF THE THRONE. COLD-BLOOD TORTURE: SUBVERTED ONLY TO BE PLAYED STRAIGHT LATER ON: WHEN SHE FIRST APPEARS TO HAROLD, SHE IMPLI THAT SHE IS GOG TO TORTURE HIM WHEN SHOUTG AT HIM FOR FNA MARRYG SHREK. HOWEVER, IMMEDIATELY SHOWS THAT THE THG SHE WAS GONNA DO THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO IF HE DIDN'T TELL HER WAS BREAKG HER DIET (APPARENTLY, SHE OVERDULG ON JUNK FOOD WHEN IRRATED). PLAYED STRAIGHT, HOWEVER, WHEN SHE THREATENS HAROLD WH WHAT IS HEAVILY IMPLIED TO BE TURNG HIM BACK TO A OG IF HE DIDN'T SPIKE FNA'S TEA WH A LOVE POTN. WHEN HE DON'T, SHE REALLY DO TURN HIM BACK TO A OG WHICH PROBABLY NTRIBUT TO HIS ATH THE NEXT MOVIE. SO HIS FEARS WERE PLETELY FOUND. COMFORT FOOD: SHE ENJOYS EATG JUNK FOOD TO RELIEVE STRS. HER FIRST SCENE WH KG HAROLD HAS HER STOPPG AT A FAST-FOOD RTRANT TO TAKE OUT A BO MEAL, EXCLAIMG THAT HER DIET IS ED. LATER, AFTER SEEG THE MS HER WORKSHOP WAS LEFT , SHE ORRS ONE OF HER WORKERS TO BRG HER A CHOLATE-THEMED SSERT. CONTRASTG SEQUEL ANTAGONIST: LORD FARQUAAD WAS WILY SPISED EVEN BY HIS OWN CIZENS AND FAIRLY NORMAL PARED TO THE VAR FAIRY TALE CREATUR HE WAS EXILG. THE FAIRY GODMOTHER IS HERSELF A FAIRY TALE CREATURE, WH THE MAGIL POWERS THAT E WH , AND IS ORIGALLY WELL-LOVED BY THE POPULACE. ALSO, WHILE FARQUAAD WAS BASILLY AN UPPER-CLASS TW WHOSE ONLY REAL STRENGTHS WERE HIS WEALTH AND POLIL FLUENCE, THE FAIRY GODMOTHER IS GENUELY MANIPULATIVE AND CLEVER, AND QUE POSSIBLY THE MOST POWERFUL CHARACTER THE SERI. CONTROL FREAK: SHE MANDS WHATEVER SHE WILLS TO GO HER WAY, BY HOOK OR CROOK. CORPT CORPORATE EXECUTIVE: SHE'S A NNIVG BSWOMAN WHO IS ONLY OUT TO E OTHERS TO BENEF HERSELF AND HER SON PRCE CHARMG. EVEN EVIL HAS LOVED ON: THE ONLY ONE THE FAIRY GODMOTHER LOV TLY IS HER SON PRCE CHARMG, WHOM SHE DOT ON AND WANTS TO MAKE KG BY MARRYG HIM TO FNA. AT THE SAME TIME THOUGH, SHE WANTS POWER FOR HERSELF, AND CHARMG AS A WAY TO GET . EVIL CANNOT COMPREHEND GOOD: SHE HAS NO QUALMS ABOUT G THOSE AROUND HER TO GET HER OWN WAY, CLUDG HER SUPPOSEDLY BELOVED SON. SHE DO NOT UNRSTAND WHY HAROLD EVEN R IF FNA ACTUALLY LOV HER SON AND THREATENS HIM TO GIVE FNA A LOVE POTN, MUCH TO HIS HORROR. EVIL COUNTERPART: TO KG HAROLD, AS TURNS OUT. SHE DDL AND NTROLS CHARMG, EFFECTIVELY MAKG HIM A GENERATE MANCHILD, WHILE HAROLD LEARNS TO RPECT FNA AND ALLOW HER TO FD HER OWN PARTNER AND HAPPS. EVIL SORCERS: SHE HAS ACCS TO POWERFUL MAGIC. THE FAIR FOLK: SHE IS A FAIRY AND PRENTS HERSELF AS THE MORN BENEVOLENT VERSN, BUT SHE'S AS PETTY AND CEL AS ANY FOLKLORIC FAIRY. FAIRY DEVILMOTHER: WHILE THE FAIRY GODMOTHER LIV UP TO HER TLE, SHE ALSO ACTS AS THIS HER METHODS, THREATENG TO UNDO HAPPY ENDGS FOR FAVORS. FANTASTIC RACISM: AN TERTG EXAMPLE. HER PREJUDICE SEEMS TO BE AGAST PEOPLE'S LEVEL OF PHYSIL ATTRACTIVENS — SORT OF AN EXTREME FORM OF BETY EQUALS GOODNS. IN HER EY, ONLY BETIFUL PEOPLE (OR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN MA BETIFUL) GET HAPPY ENDGS. IF THEY'RE UGLY, THEN NOT ONLY DO THEY NOT GET HAPPY ENDGS — BUT HER EY, THEY DON'T EVEN SERVE HAPPY ENDGS. NOTICEABLY, WHEN SHE RATTL OFF THE LIST OF FAMO FAIRY TALE "HAPPY ENDGS" TO SHREK, THE ONE PROMENT FAIRY TALE SHE DO NOT CLU IS BETY AND THE BEAST. IT'S POSSIBLE SHE ALSO LOOKS DOWN ON HUMANS, AS IMPLIED WHEN SHE YELLS AT HAROLD AFTER FDG OUT THEIR AL DIDN'T GO AS PLANNED, AND THREATENED HAROLD JT FOR MERELY POTG OUT HER SON WAS TOO LATE TO RCUE FNA. FX AFFABLY EVIL: SHE PRETENDS TO GENTLY AND KDLY NVCE SHREK TO "STOP LIVG A FAIRYTALE," BUT ONCE SHE'S SEEN FOR WHAT SHE REALLY IS, SHE'S THLS, VENGEFUL, EVIL, CEL, SELFISH AND WILL STOP AT NOTHG TO REMOVE THOSE WHO STAND HER WAY. GENRE BLD: FOR SOME SANE REASON, SHE THOUGHT WAS A GOOD IA TO SG AN EPIC HERO BALLAD THE CLIMAX OF THE FAL ACT. IN ALL HONTY, HER ENTIRE PLAN TO PUT CHARMG ON THE THRONE IS THIS. SHE TEND TO HAVE CHARMG BE THE ONE TO RCUE FNA AND BREAK HER CURSE, BUT AS SHOWN FOREVER AFTER, HE WOULD'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO BREAK BEE HE WASN'T HER ONE TE LOVE AND WOULD'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO MAKE FNA FALL LOVE WH HIM LIKE SHREK DID WHEN THEY FIRST MET. AND THAT'S NOT UNTG THE PRENCE OF A DRAGON, THAT HAVE EASILY KILLED DOZENS OF KNIGHTS, AND AGAST WHICH SHREK AND DONKEY WERE ONLY SUCCSFUL TO RCUG FNA BEE THEY RAN OM AND OUTSMARTED HER STEAD OF TRYG TO FIGHT HER. YOU'D THK A FAIRY GODMOTHER WOULD REALIZE THAT YOU N'T FAKE TE LOVE LIKE THAT, PECIALLY WHEN HAS SOMETHG LIKE BREAKG A MAGIL CURSE. THERE WAS NO POT SENDG CHARMG WHOUT FIVE PROOF HE WAS FNA'S TE LOVE, OTHERWISE SHE MIGHT VERY WELL HAVE GOTTEN HIM KILLED. GOD SAVE US OM THE QUEEN!: SHE GETS HER DREAM OF BEG QUEEN OF FAR FAR AWAY RUMPLTILSK’S AU THE SHREK FOREVER AFTER VIO GAME, ALBE ONLY FOR A WEEK. GOLD DIGGER: WISH FOR HER SON TO MARRY FNA SO THAT SHE MAY BEE ALL-POWERFUL AS QUEEN MOTHER AND HAS NO REGARD FOR FNA HERSELF, NOR ANYONE ELSE REALLY CLUDG HER (SUPPOSEDLY) BELOVED SON. GRACEFUL LOSER: SHE TAK HER FEAT THE VIO GAME ADAPTATN (THE NSOLE VERSNS AT LEAST) SOMEWHAT WELL ("WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW? I N BE BEATEN.") GREATER-SPE VILLA: OF THE FIRST SHREK FILM; IT'S IMPLIED SHE STCK A BARGA WH FNA'S PARENTS TO LOCK HER UP THE TOWER THE FIRST PLACE TO ORCHTRATE FNA'S IMPRISONMENT SO THAT HER SON, PRCE CHARMG, ULD RCUE HER AND HER THE THRONE. HOIST BY HER OWN PETARD: SHE GETS H BY HER OWN MAGIC, WHICH TURNS HER TO BUBBL, SPARKL... AND MOST TELLGLY... A SHOWER OF TEARS. HYPOCRE: WHEN SHREK TERVEN CHARMG'S SEND KISS AT THE BALL, GODMOTHER AND ACC HIM OF NOT LEAVG WELL ENOUGH ALONE. SHE'S THE ONE WHO'S DOG HER BT TO TERFERE TE LOVE, TO BEG WH. IRONIC NURSERY TUNE: WHEN SHE FIRST SE FNA, SHE THOUGHT THAT PRCE CHARMG’S KISS DIDN’T WORK TO KEEP HER HUMAN, SO SHE SGS THE “FAIRY GODMOTHER SONG” TO MANIPULATE HER TO STAYG WH HIM. IT'S ALL ABOUT ME: IN THE END, EVERYTHG SHE DO IS FOR HER OWN SAKE, AND HER SON IS NOTHG MORE THAN JT ANOTHER PAWN HER PLANS, AS MONSTRATED BY HER LACK OF RE TOWARDS FNA HEADBUTTG HIM DUE TO HER ANGER OVER HAROLD NOT GIVG FNA THE LOVE POTN. JERKASS: THE FAIRY GODMOTHER THIS VERSN ISN'T LIKE HER CLASSIC BENEVOLENT UNTERPART WHO HER MAGIC FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. LIGHT IS NOT GOOD: DPE HER NAME, APPEARANCE AND WHE MAGIC, SHE IS NOT A HERO. KARMIC DEATH: IN NTRAST TO ALL ARRANGEMENTS AND GLZ SHE OPERAT ON, HER ATH BY HER OWN LIGHTNG BLAST REBOUNDG ON HER IS SIMPLE AND ABPT AND UNEXPECTEDLY, RIGHT DOWN TO HER THKG SHE SURVIVED THE BLAST AND DI MID-REBOUND. SHE ALSO HAS A PRETTY LARGE NNECTN WH BUBBL AND TEARS, AND GUS WAS THE BLAST TURNS HER TO? MADAME FORTUNE: HER NAME IS DAMA FORTUNA AND SHE IS BASED ON A FORTUNE TELLER. MANIPULATIVE BCH: SHE ANY AND EVERY UNRHAND TRICK, SOME THAT MAKE HER APPEAR MORE BENEVOLENT AND KR THAN SHE REALLY IS. NOTICEABLY SHE'S ABLE OF MANIPULATG SHREK TO RENOUNCG TO RNE WH FNA AND MATAG THE CHARA OF PRCE CHARMG BEG HIM TRANSFORMED BY HER POTN, BY PLAYG ON HIS SECURI AND LOVE FOR FNA TO MAKE HIM BELIEVE THAT FNA WILL HAPPIER WH CHARMG THAN WH HIM. MEAN BOSS: SHE IS SHOWN TO BE DOWNRIGHT SNIPPY TOWARDS HER EMPLOYE, NOT EVEN GIVG THEM A NTAL PLAN. MOTHER MAK YOU KG: INTEND TO HAVE HER SON RCUE AND MARRY FNA TO PUT HIM ON THE THRONE AND REIGN AS QUEEN MOTHER. THIS DON'T GO ACRDG TO PLAN AS FNA FELL LOVE WH SHREK, TH THE FAIRY GODMOTHER ATTEMPTS TO GET RID OF HIM, EHER BY BLACKMAILG HAROLD TO GETTG RID OF SHREK OR BY G SHREK'S OWN FEELGS TO MANIPULATE HIM TO THKG FNA DON'T REALLY WANT TO BE WH HIM. UNFORTUNATELY FOR HER, HER PLANS THERE FAIL AS WELL. MS. FANSERVICE: IS VERY BUXOM, SHOWS OFF HER CLEAVAGE, AND ACTS AND MOV QUE SCTIVELY. DURG THE CLIMAX, SHE CHANG TO A RED, SPARKLY DRS THAT HIGHLIGHTS HER CURV AND FEATUR A LEG SL. NEPOTISM: THE PERSON SHE WANTS FNA TO ACTUALLY MARRY? CHARMG, HER OWN SON. NICE TO THE WAER: VERY SURPRISGLY GIVEN HOW CEL AND SELFISH SHE NORMALLY IS. IN THE SEND FILM AS IRATE AS SHE IS WH HAROLD WHEN SHE ORRS FAST FOOD SHE'S PLEASANT AND URTEO TO THE DRIVE THROUGH WORKER. NO BODY LEFT BEHD: AFTER GETTG H WH HER OWN MAGIC, SHE DISSOLV TO BUBBL AND WATER, LEAVG ONLY HER WAND AND HER SHATTERED GLASS ON THE FLOOR. OBLIVLY EVIL: FAIRY GODMOTHER IS HARDLY THE VIRTUO WOMAN SHE CLAIMS TO BE. SHE'S SPENT HER WHOLE LIFE MATCHMAKG AND MANAGG ROMANC THAT SHE DON'T UNRSTAND OR RE IF ONE GO WELL ENOUGH WHOUT HER VOLVEMENT. THE KG LLS HER OUT ON G LOVE POTNS, TO WHICH SHE POTS OUT THAT THEY'RE PART OF HER WORK. POLILLY INRRECT VILLA: "OGR DON'T LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER!" ALSO, HER CHARACTERIZATN OF THE CROSS-DRSG BIG BAD WOLF AS "GENR-NFED". RED IS VLENT: IN THE CLIMAX, SHE SWCH OVER TO WEARG A RED DRS, AND IS WHAT SHE IS WEARG WHEN SHE ENTERS HER VILLAO BREAKDOWN AND GO ON A MURR SPREE AGAST SHREK. SCREW THE RUL, I HAVE MONEY!: SHE HAS NO QUALMS ABOUT RORTG TO TRICKERY AND EXTORTN TO GET WHAT SHE WANTS: THIS SE, THE CROWN OF FAR FAR AWAY. WHEN FNA DIDN'T FALL LOVE WH CHARMG ON HER OWN, SHE CID TO DG HER WH A POTN SO THAT SHE WOULD MARRY CHARMG. THIS IS WHAT FALLY CROSS THE LE FOR HAROLD AND GIV HIM THE URAGE TO STAND UP TO HER. SILVER VIXEN: SHE IS MIDDLE-AGED, HAS GRAY HAIR AND OBV WRKL. DPE THAT, SHE IS RATHER ATTRACTIVE AND FLNTS LIKE CRAZY DURG THE "HOLDG OUT FOR A HERO" SEQUENCE. SIR NOT-APPEARG--THIS-TRAILER: SHE DON'T APPEAR THE FIRST TRAILER FOR SHREK 2, BUT APPEARS OTHER PROMOTNAL MATERIAL FOR THE FILM. SMUG SNAKE: THOUGH ARGUABLY THE MOST PETENT ONE THE SERI. THE SOCPATH: SE FNA AS NOTHG MORE THAN A MEANS TO POWER AND HAS NO NCERN FOR HER FEELGS NOR FORCG HER TO FALL LOVE WH CHARMG. ONE POPULAR THEORY WAS THAT SHE WAS THE WCH WHO ST THE ORIGAL SPELL ON FNA. TERMAL TRANSFORMATN: IN THE FALE, THE FAIRY GODMOTHER ATTEMPTS TO KILL SHREK ONCE AND FOR ALL, ONLY FOR KG HAROLD TO THROW HIMSELF THE WAY OF HER SPELL, HIS POLISHED ARMOUR IMMEDIATELY FLECTG BACK ON HER. THE FAIRY GODMOTHER IS IMMEDIATELY RCED TO A MASS OF BUBBL AND WATER - HER WAND AND SMASHED GLASS BEG THE ONLY PART OF HER LEFT UNCHANGED. SCE SHE'S NEVER SEEN ANY OF THE SEQUELS, N BE ASSUMED THAT THE TRANSFORMATN KILLED HER. VILLA WH GOOD PUBLICY: UNTIL THE CLIMAX, NO ONE IS AWARE OF THE FAIRY GODMOTHER'S REAL PERSONALY. VILLAO BREAKDOWN: THOUGH 'S SHORT-LIVED, HER FAL ACT TO TRY AND BLAST FNA AND SHREK SHOWS ALL PRETENSE OF GOODNS AND LOVG ARE OFF THE TABLE, EVEN WH THE ENTIRE KGDOM WATCHG. XANATOS SPEED CHS: AFTER SHE HEARS OM ONE OF THE WORKERS AT THE POTN FACTORY WHAT KD OF POTN SHREK AND HIS IENDS STOLE, SHE QUICKLY MA HER OWN PLAN AROUND . PRCE CHARMG WOULD PRETEND TO BE SHREK'S NEW FORM TO FNA WHILE FAIRY GODMOTHER WOULD PLAY TO SHREK'S INSECURE LOVE INTERT FEELGS AND NVCE HIM TO GIVE UP FOR FNA'S SAKE. FOR ADD MEASURE, SHE ALSO GAVE KG HAROLD A POTN TO MAKE FNA DRK THAT WOULD MAKE HER FALL LOVE WH THE FIRST MAN SHE KISS.

HE IS VERY HANDSOME, AND WAS SUPPOSED TO RCUE PRCS FNA OM HER DRAGON-GUARD TOWER. HE STARTS OFF AS THE SENDARY ANTAGONIST SHREK 2 AND BE THE BIG BAD OF SHREK THE THIRD. ADAPTATN SPECI CHANGE: MOST ERATNS OF PRCE CHARMG ARE HUMAN. HERE, DUE TO BEG THE SON OF THE FAIRY GODMOTHER, THIS PRCE CHARMG'S AT LEAST PART-FAIRY. ADAPTATNAL VILLAY: THIS VERSN ISN'T REALLY VERY "CHARMG" AT ALL. WELL, TERMS OF PERSONALY ANYWAYS. ALTAR DIPLOMACY: INTEND TO MARRY FNA SOLELY SO HE ULD BEE KG OF FAR FAR AWAY AND HAD NO REGARD FOR HER FEELGS. AMBIGUOLY BI: NOT ONLY DO HE E OFF AS RATHER EFFEMATE, 'S IMPLIED HE ONLY WANTS TO MARRY FNA SO HE N BEE KG OF FAR FAR AWAY. BEG VOICED BY THE OPENLY GAY RUPERT EVERETT DON'T HELP. THERE IS A HUGE PARENTAL BON THE SCENE WHERE HE TALKS TO HIS MOTHER ABOUT HIS RELUCTANCE TO MARRY FNA — APPARENTLY, HE IS NOT TERTED WOMEN AT ALL. HE DO SEEM ROMANTILLY TERTED RAPUNZEL THE THIRD MOVIE, BUT THERE'S NOTHG PRECLUDG HIM OM BEG BISEXUAL. ARRANGED MARRIAGE: WAS TEND TO MARRY FNA AS A WAY FOR HER FATHER TO PAY BACK HIS MOTHER FOR TURNG HIM TO A HUMAN. UNFORTUNATELY FOR HIM, SHE FALLS LOVE WH AND MARRI SHREK BY THE TIME HE ARRIV TO GET HER. ASCEND EXTRA: DOWNPLAYED. CHARMG WAS ALREADY A PROMENT ANTAGONIST SHREK 2 BUT SHIFTED TO THE BIG BAD SHREK THE THIRD. BETY IS BAD: HE MAY F THE TEXTBOOK FN OF THE HANDSOME PRCE ARCHETYPE, BUT THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHG GOOD ABOUT HIM. BIG BAD: IN SHREK THE THIRD. CHARMG UN THE VILLAS TOGETHER TAKG OVER FAR FAR AWAY AND TENDS TO MURR SHREK FOR THE EVENTS OF SHREK 2. BLUE IS HEROIC: INVERTED. HIS OUTF IS MOSTLY BLUE WH A FEW GOLD PATTERNS , BUT HE'S AN ANTAGONIST. BREAKOUT VILLA: HE WENT OM THE FAIRY GODMOTHER'S DRAGON SHREK 2 TO THE BIG BAD OF SHREK THE THIRD. IN ADDN, HE'S MA SEVERAL APPEARANC SP-OFF GAM SUCH AS SHREK SUPERSLAM AND SHREK SMASH N'CRASH RACG, PART DUE TO BEG THE ONLY MAJOR VILLA STILL ALIVE AT THAT POT THE SERI. BUTT-MONKEY: HE'S EQUENTLY TREATED LIKE A JOKE, AND IS SUBJECT TO EDIC MISFORTUNE SHREK 2, SUCH AS BEG TOO LATE TO RCUE FNA AND ENUNTERG THE BIG BAD WOLF STEAD, HAVG A BIRD POOP ON HIS SHOULR, AND GETTG HEADBUTTED BY FNA THE CLIMAX. BY THE THIRD MOVIE, HE'S BEEN RCED TO A LOW-RENT DNER THEATER ACTOR WHO GETS REPEATEDLY HECKLED DURG ONE OF HIS PLAYS. THE CALIGULA: FAR FAR AWAY BE A WRETCHED HIVE UNR HIS LERSHIP. CAMP STRAIGHT: ALTHOUGH THERE HAS BEEN SPECULATN... THE CAVALRY ARRIV LATE: HE HAS A TERRIBLE HAB OF DOG THIS. HE'S ACTUALLY RATHER PETENT AT BOTH SCHEMG AND FIGHTG, BUT ALMOST ALWAYS ENDS UP STEPPG ONLY AFTER HE'S ALREADY LOST. IN FACT, THE WHOLE OVERARCHG PLOT OF THE FILMS HAPPENS BEE HE SHOWED UP FAR TOO LATE TO RCUE FNA. DPOTISM JTIFI THE MEANS: ONCE HE TAK OVER, HE TURNS FAR FAR AWAY TO A WRETCHED HIVE. ON TOP OF THAT, THE ONLY THG CHARMG REALLY DO IS FORCE EVERYBODY TO WATCH A MIL HE WROTE AND STARRED ABOUT WHAT A GREAT PERSON HE THOUGHT HE WAS. THOUGH TO BE FAIR, HE ONLY LED FOR A WEEK AT THE ABSOLUTE MOST. PERHAPS IF HIS MOTHER WAS STILL AROUND (AND/OR SHREK, FNA, AND THEIR FAIRY-TALE IENDS WEREN'T AROUND TO POSE HIM), HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO E UP WH SOME KD OF ERNMENT POLICY. DISAPPEARED DAD: HIS FATHER IS UNNAMED, NEVER MENTNED, AND IS MOST LIKELY AD (HE WAS PROBABLY A NORMAL HUMAN LIKE HIS SON SEEMS TO BE). THE DZ: AS A RULT OF HIS MOTHER HANDLG EVERYTHG FOR HIM. HELL, SHREK 2, WHEN IMPERSONATG SHREK, HE DON'T EVEN TRY TO PY HIS MANNERISMS. THE DRAGON: IN SHREK 2, HE IS HIS MOTHER'S RIGHT HAND. DRAGON ASCENDANT: IN SHREK THE THIRD HE PLANS TO FISH WHERE HIS MOTHER STARTED. DU, WHERE'S MY RPECT?: AT THE START OF SHREK THE THIRD CHARMG HAS BEEN RCED TO A PLETE LGHG STOCK FOLLOWG HIS MOTHER'S ATH, AND THE NSTANT RIDICULE HE FAC PH HIM TO HIS VILLAO PLOT. HE PLOTS TO TAKE THE THRONE BY FORCE AND KILL SHREK ONT OF THE WHOLE KGDOM TO RTORE THE DIGNY HE'S LOST, BUT SHREK STILL MANAG TO BELTLE AND HUIATE HIM. EVEN BAD MEN LOVE THEIR MAMAS: IT IS SHOWN HE GENUELY LOV HIS MOTHER AND HE MOURNS HER ATH SHREK THE THIRD. BIS HIS GOAL OF TAKG OVER THE KGDOM, HE ALSO WISH TO AVENGE HIS MOTHER'S MISE BY KILLG SHREK. EVIL COUNTERPART: HE'S SENTIALLY FNA PRR TO HER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT — STUCK UP, , AND TERMED TO ACHIEVE THE TYPIL FAIRY TALE HAPPY ENDG. UNLIKE FNA, OF URSE, HE DON'T GET BETTER. EVIL OVERLORD: BRIEFLY BE ONE SHREK THE THIRD WHEN HE NQUERS FAR FAR AWAY. FAKE ULTIMATE HERO: INVOKED WH THE THEATRIL PERFORMANCE HE BUILDS AROUND SHREK'S PUBLIC EXECUTN, WHERE HE PORTRAYS HIMSELF AS THE DASHG HERO RCUG A BETIFUL PRCS AND FORC SHREK TO THE ROLE OF THE VILLA. FAY-UNIENDLY DEATH: ONE TERPRETATN OF HIS UNCERTA DOOM. DRAGON CSH HIM WH A PROP TOWER, THIS TIME MA OF ACTUAL MASONRY, AVERTG BY WALL THAT IS HOLEY. FROM NOBODY TO NIGHTMARE: AFTER HIS MOTHER'S FEAT THE SEND FILM, HE'S RCED TO WORKG AS A LOW-RENT DNER THEATER ACTOR WHO IS BUT A SHELL OF HIS FORMER SELF. HE IS NSIRED A LGHGSTOCK, EVEN BY OTHER VILLAS. LATER ON, HE'S FORCED TO PARTAKE TO OBV VILLAY, APPEALS TO THE VILLAS' EPT SIRE FOR A HAPPILY EVER AFTER OF THEIR OWN, AND BE A SER THREAT AFTER TAKG OVER FAR FAR AWAY. GO-KARTG WH BOWSER: HE PARTICIPAT THE FAR FAR AWAY IDOL A DVD EXTRA FOR SHREK 2, HIS ANIMOSY WH SHREK AND FNA APPARENTLY FOTTEN OR HE JT WANTED AN OPPORTUNY TO BE A BIG SHOT. GOLD DIGGER: HE ONLY WANTS TO MARRY FNA TO BEE KG AND HAS NO REGARD FOR THE FACT THAT SHE'S LOVE WH SOMEONE ELSE NOR G A LOVE POTN TO ENSURE SHE FALLS LOVE WH HIM. HAIR FLIP: CONSTANTLY (".. SOFT AND BOUNCY HAAAAAAIRRR!"). HALF-HUMAN HYBRID: HIS MOTHER IS A FAIRY, AND HIS FATHER IS PRUMABLY HUMAN GIVEN HIS APPEARANCE. IRONIC NICKNAME: HE'S LLED PRCE CHARMG, BUT HE'S FAR OM . THIS IS MOST LIKELY TENTNAL. IT MT BE ME!: HE REF TO HAVE ANY OTHER PRCS BUT FNA, LARGELY OUT OF SPE AT HAVG BEEN BEATEN BY SHREK (NEVER MD IF WASN'T TENTNAL). "IT" IS DEHUMANIZG: SHREK'S EXISTENCE REPULS HIM, TO THE POT THAT HE REFERS TO HIM AS AN "". JERKASS: HE MAY LOOK VERY HANDSOME AND DRS FE CLOTHG, BUT HE IS REALLY A SNOBBY, EVIL, POWER-HUNGRY, PSYCHOPATHIC, AND NARCISSISTIC VILLA. KARMIC DEATH: HE DI BY HIS OWN STAGE PROP FALLG ON HIM, REPRENTG HIS DREAM BEG NOTHG MORE THAN AN ARTIFICIAL AND IMPERMANENT FANTASY. LARGE HAM: AS BEFS A ROLE BY RUPERT EVERETT. LEGN OF DOOM: LEADS ONE THE THIRD MOVIE, MA UP OF FAIRY TALE VILLAS. THEY, EXCEPT FOR CHARMG HIMSELF, PULL A HEEL–FACE TURN AT THE END, THOUGH. THE LOAD: HE DO VERY LTLE TO AID THE FAIRY GODMOTHER DURG THE CLIMAX EXCEPT TO THROW HER WAND TO HER, WHICH ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BACKFIR FOR HER.

WHEN THE OPPORTUNY ARIS, RUMPEL CIS TO TRICK A VULNERABLE SHREK TO SIGNG A NTRACT THAT ENDS UP ALTERG HISTORY. HE IS THE BIG BAD OF SHREK FOREVER AFTER. ACTUALLY A GOOD IA: HE THREATENS TO THROW WATER ON THE WCH UNLS THEY N E UP WH A WAY TO PTURE SHREK. HE THEN RRI OUT HIS THREAT ON ONE UNFORTUNATE WCH SPE THE NDNS BEG MET. AMBIGUOLY GAY: WHEREAS CHARMG IS JT FLAT-OUT EFFEMATE, RUMPLE HAS EXTREMELY FLAMBOYANT MANNERISMS AND IS OBSSED WH WIGS.NOTE WHILE NOT THE FILM SELF, HOWEVER, RUMPEL WAS MOSTLY PAIRED WH THE MEMBERS OF HIS WCH ARMY MERCHANDISG, AND RUMPEL MAK THE FAIRY GODMOTHER HIS "QUEEN FOR A WEEK" THE VIO GAME. THIS MAY SUGGT THAT HE IS CAMP STRAIGHT OR BISEXUAL/PANSEXUAL. ANIMAL MOTIFS: GEE. HE HAS A PET GOOSE, THE MURAL BEHD HIM WHEN HE FIRST APPEARS THE ALTERNATE TIMELE HAS HIS PET GOOSE ON , HIS PALACE HAS A UPLE OF TY GOLN SCULPTUR OF HIS HEAD ON THE BODY OF A GOOSE, AND HE WEARS A GOOSE-SHAPED WIG THE CLIMAX. ANIME HAIR: HIS WIGS, ALL OF WHICH ARE AS TALL AS HE IS AND E WACKY STYL AND LORS THAT GO BEYOND THEIR ALREADY SILLY RO ORIGS. HE EVEN HAS ONE STYLED TO LOOK LIKE A GOOSE - NOT TO MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE A GOOSE, AS THE HAIR REMBL AN ENTIRE GOOSE ON HIS HEAD! ARCH-ENEMY: HE IS THE CLOST TO THIS ROLE TO SHREK OF ALL VILLAS. WHILE OTHER VILLAS RRIED A CERTA THREAT TO SHREK BUT NOT ONE OF THEM WENT SO FAR AS TO ERASE THE VERY EXISTENCE OF SHREK, VALUG THE WHOLE PATH THAT HE HAS E TO THIS MOMENT (KEEP MD THAT THE EVENT OF THE ABSOLUTE VICTORY OF RUMPEL, SHREK LOS NOT ONLY HIS LIFE, BUT THE LIFE OF HIS CHILDREN WHO WILL NOT BE BORN, AND ALSO DOOMS THE ENTIRE KGDOM TO EXISTENCE UNR TYRANNY). WHEN RUMPEL EXPLAS TO SHREK WHAT THEIR AL WILL LEAD TO THE END, SHREK FALLS TO A RAGE AND TRI TO TEAR HIM TO PIEC. AX-CRAZY: HE'S OBVLY NOT RIGHT THE HEAD. THE SCENE WH HIM MURRG ONE OF HIS OWN WCH MNS IS MERE ICG ON THE KE, AS HE ANGRILY KILLS HER FOR OFFERG AN IA, RIGHT BEFORE CIDG WAS ACTUALLY A GOOD IA AND G . BAD BOSS: HE SEEMS LIKE A BENEVOLENT BOSS AT FIRST, LETTG HIS WCH HAVG A RAVE HIS STLE AND ALL THAT. AFTER SHREK P HOWEVER, HE DROPS ALL THE NICENS AND STARTS THREATENG THEIR LIV, NEVER MD THAT HE WAS THE ONE THAT PHED SHREK TOO FAR. SPECIFILLY: THE SCENE WHERE HE SUMMONS A UNCIL OF WCH WHERE HE FIRST STARTS OUT AS A LOVG PATRON, SLDS THEM ABOUT LETTG SHREK PE AND FALLY SNAPS TO RAGE, KILLG ONE OF THEM ON SCREEN BY POURG WATER ONTO HER. THAT JT DON'T MARK HIM AS EVIL, BUT AX-CRAZY TO BOOT. BIG BAD: OF FOREVER AFTER, AND FAR MORE NVCGLY THAN THE PREV BIG BADS, WHO WERE HALFWAY-SYMPATHETIC OR PART-EFFECTUAL. BUNNY-EARS LAWYER: HIS AFOREMENTNED OBSSN WH WIGS DON'T MAKE HIM ANY LS DANGERO AND EFFECTIVE. THE CALIGULA: FAR FAR AWAY IS A YG UNR HIS LE, WH THE CY SELF FALLG TO PIEC WHILE HE LIV A LIFE OF EXTRAVAGANCE HIS PALACE. CONTRASTG SEQUEL ANTAGONIST: TO FARQUAAD. DPE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE BOTH SHORT PEOPLE WH LNS OF GRANUR, LORD FARQUAAD IS AN ORDARY PERSON WHOUT ANY MAGIL POWERS, NOT PENCHANT FOR CUNNG PLANS, ALWAYS KEEPG HIS WORD AND NOT POSG A SUFFICIENT GREE OF DANGER SPE ALL HIS AMBNS. RUMPEL ON THE OTHER HAND IS SMART, MANIPULATIVE, AND A LONG-TERM PLANNER WHO MAK MAGIL ALS WH OTHERS, CEIVG THEM THE PROCS AND ACHIEVG HIS GOALS MORE THAN FARQUAAD ULD EVER HAVE HOPED. CURSE ESPE CLSE: ALL OF RUMPELSTILTSK'S NTRACTS HAVE ONE OF THE, BUT HE'S SMART ENOUGH TO HI BY MAKG SO THAT YOU HAVE TO FOLD THE NTRACT A CERTA WAY ORR TO READ . IN SHREK'S SE, 'S A TE LOVE'S KISS. MENTN IS MA OF THE ORIGAL "GUS MY REAL NAME" CLSE OM THE ORIGAL FAIRY TALE, BUT RUMPELSTILTSK HAD TO ABANDON AFTER HIS NAME BEME TOO WI SPREAD. DEADPAN SNARKER: RIVALS SHREK AT THIS. DEAL WH THE DEVIL: HIS JOB SCRIPTN. DEPRAVED DWARF: HE PENSAT HIS TY STATURE WH HIS HIGHLY DANGERO PERSONA. DPOTISM JTIFI THE MEANS: IN THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, THE FAR FAR AWAY HE L IS RELICT AND ROTTG, WHILE HE THE OGRE POPULATN AND SHREK'S PALS FOR SLAVE LABOR. HE DON'T SEEM TO RE THAT THGS HAVE GONE TO POT UNR HIS REIGN. DIRTY COWARD: HE GLEEFULLY BS SHREK'S FACE HOW HE'S GOG TO CEASE TO EXIST ONCE HIS 24 HOURS ARE UP AND THAT HIS CHILDREN NO LONGER EXIST AS A NSEQUENCE OF THEIR NTRACT, AND THE MUTE SHREK SNAPS AND STGGL AGAST HIS RTRATS TO ATTACK HIM, RUMPLE IMMEDIATELY HIS BEHD HIS HOURGLASS AND ORRS HIS WCH TO ATTACK. DISPROPORTNATE RETRIBUTN: MOST NOTABLY THE SCENE WH THE GLASS OF WATER... EARLY-BIRD CAMEO: HE FIRST APPEARS THE THIRD FILM AS PART OF PRCE CHARMG'S ARMY AND RETURNS THE FOURTH FILM WH A RESIGN. ESTABLISHG CHARACTER MOMENT: EVERYTHG OM THE START TO THE PART WHERE RUMPELSTILTSK GETS KICKED OUT OF POCCH'S BOOKSTORE AND WISH SHREK WAS NEVER BORN IS BOTH THIS AND BACKSTORY FOR HIM. EVEN EVIL HAS LOVED ON: HE REACTS WH HORROR WHEN HIS GOOSE FIFI DISAPPEARS THE ALTERNATE TIMELE, AND AGA WHEN SHE'S BLOWN UP BY FNA THE PRENT TIMELE. EVIL GLOATG: THIS PROV TO BE HIS UNDOG, AS SHREK WILL CEASE TO EXIST ONCE HIS 24 HOURS ARE UP ANYWAY. NO FURTHER EVIL SCHEMG REQUIRED. BUT HE FEELS THE NSTANT NEED "TO PLUNGE THE KNIFE " AND PROVE HIS SUPERRY OVER HIS ENEMI. THIS ALLOWS SHREK TO NNECT THE DOTS AND REALIZE THE NSEQUENC OF HIS AL AND RNE WH HIS LOVE TO NULL AND VOID . EVEN THEN, WHEN RUMPLE IS AWARE OF THE RISK HE'S , HE STILL LATER SISTS ON IMPRISONG THEM BOTH TOGETHER TO 'TWIST THE KNIFE'. EVIL OVERLORD: ACHIEV HIS GOALS MORE THAN FARQUAAD ULD EVER HAVE HOPED. EVIL REDHEAD: RUMPLE IS ACTUALLY A REDHEAD, BUT HIS "ANGRY WIG" SYMBOLIZ THIS TROPE. FACE DEATH WH DPAIR: WHEN THE ALTERNATE TIMELE GETS ERASED AFTER SHREK SUCCSFULLY KISS FNA BEFORE HIS ATH, RUMPLE IS HEARD REPEATG RAPID FIRE NOS AND HOW HE ISN'T READY TO GO. FX AFFABLY EVIL: INIALLY SEEMS TO BE AFFABLY EVIL... UNTIL THGS FAIL TO GO HIS WAY. FXDIAN SLIP: RUMPEL TO SHREK AFTER HE ASKED WHICH DAY HE'D HAVE TO GIVE UP.RUMPELSTILTSK: OH, I DON'T KNOW, ANY DAY; A DAY OM YOUR PAST. HOW ABOUT A DAY YOU HAD THE FLU? A DAY YOU LOST A PET? A DAY SOME MEDDLG OAF STUCK HIS BIG NOSE WHERE DIDN'T BELONG, STROYG YOUR BS AND RUINING YOUR LIFE?! ... JT FOR AN EXAMPLE. FISHER KG: RUMPELSTILTSK'S LUXUR PALACE SURROUND BY THE BARREN FIELDS AND N-DOWN CY. THIS IS LIKELY DUE TO SIMPLE GREED AS OPPOSED TO A MAGIL NNECTN BETWEEN THE KG AND THE LAND THOUGH. FROM NOBODY TO NIGHTMARE: HE STARTS OUT AS A SHORT MAN LIVG A TRAILER PARK AND ROOTG THROUGH A DUMPSTER LOOKG FOR SOMETHG TO EAT, AND HE GO ON TO BEE THE EVIL DICTATOR OF FAR FAR AWAY WH AN ARMY OF WCH. GONK: RUMPLE’S NOT EXACTLY HANDSOME WH HIS HUGE EY, WEIRDLY-SHAPED NOSE, GIANT BUCKTEETH, AND GIANT CH. HATE SK: THOUGH LGHABLY EVIL, HE'S ALSO AN CREDIBLY SELFISH, SMUG PRICK AND EASILY ONE OF THE MOST SANE VILLAS THE MA SERI. HIS LIBERAL LOOPHOLE ABE ONLY MAK HIM MORE TENTNALLY TRATG. THE HEDONIST: HIS TE MOTIVATN. AFTER SUCCSFULLY PLETG HIS PLAN TO BEE THE LER OF THE KGDOM HE LIV A LIFE OF EXTRAVAGANCE HIS PALACE WHILE FAR FAR AWAY IS A YG UNR HIS LE. HIDN DEPTHS: IN SHREK THE THIRD, 'S SHOWN THAT HE'S GENUELY SADNED OVER NOT GETTG THE FIRSTBORN BABY THAT THE LER'S DGHTER PROMISED HIM, TO THE POT OF GETTG A TATTOO OF A PACIFIER ON HIS ARM. THIS SUGGTS HE HAS SOME EP-SEATED SIRE TO HAVE A CHILD. IT'S ALL ABOUT ME: HE DIDN'T RE THAT SHREK'S ACTNS HELPED BRG PEACE TO FAR FAR AWAY, ONLY THAT THE OGRE HAD ED HIS BS. JACKASS GENIE: WHILE NOT A GENIE, THE FACT THAT HE GRANTS WISH WH EQUENT AMOUNTS OF LOOPHOLE ABE HIS FAVOR IS HIS M.O. KARMA HOUDI: IF THE MOVIE'S SOUNDTRACK IS TAKEN AS NON, HE HAS STARTED HOSTG A POPULAR RAD SHOW AFTER SHREK FEATED HIM, WHICH MAY SUGGT HE PED OM HIS GE AT SOME POT AFTERWARDS. KNIGHT OF CEREB: WHILE HE'S VERY OVER-THE-TOP AND LGHABLY EVIL, THE MOVIE DON'T GLOSS OVER THE FACT THAT HE'S A VIC MANIPULATIVE BASTARD WHO TRICKS SHREK TO A DEAL WH THE DEVIL THAT WILL END UP WH HIM BEG ERASED OM EXISTENCE AT THE END OF THE DAY, AND NSEQUENTLY BE A VIC DICTATOR WHO STROYS THE KGDOM OF FAR FAR AWAY, PRUMABLY KILLG AND IMPRISONG HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THE PROCS. KRYPTONE FACTOR: THE EX CLSE IS HIDN SI THE NTRACT, REVEALED NOT THE SMALL PRT — WHICH AT LEAST SOME PEOPLE WOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO READ, BUT BY REFOLDG THE PAPER TO REVEAL THE HIDN WORDS (KNOWG RUMPELSTILTSK'S NAME AS PER THE LEGEND ISN'T ENOUGH, AS EVERYONE KNOWS RUMPELSTILTSK, SO HE HAD TO GET CLEVER). LANTERN JAW OF JTICE: AN EVIL EXAMPLE. HIS CH IS HUGE. LARGE HAM: IRONILLY, GIVEN HIS HEIGHT - HE HAS A PENCHANT FOR OVER-THE-TOP MANNERISMS AND STUM. POSSIBLY THE BIGGT THE SERI. LGHABLY EVIL: CALLO AND CEL AS HE MAY BE, THERE'S NO NYG THAT HE'S A GOOD SOURCE OF HUMOR. LERAL METAPHOR: HE LOV THEM: HE PROMISED THE KG AND QUEEN "ALL YOUR PROBLEMS WILL DISAPPEAR." THAT WAS TE. RUMPEL MAK THEIR PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR BY MAKG THEM DISAPPEAR. RUMPELSTILTSK MAK A REMARK ABOUT HOW 'S "TIME TO PAY THE PIPER". NOTHG HAPPENS. HE THEN EXPLAS TO ONE OF THE WCH THAT HE MEANS LERALLY PAY, AS HE'S A BOUNTY HUNTER. LOOPHOLE ABE: RUMPELSTILTSK'S SPECIALTY: HIS NTRACT WH SHREK IS TO TRA A DAY OM HIS LIFE HE WON'T REMEMBER - A DAY WHEN HE WAS A BABY, FOR STANCE - EXCHANGE FOR A NSEQUENCE EE DAY AN ALTERNATE TIMELE WHERE HE WILL BE FEARED AGA SO HE N HAVE FUN TERRORIZG PEOPLE AND AFTERWARDS EVERYTHG WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. THE DAY QUTN TURNS OUT TO BE THE DAY SHREK WAS BORN, AND THE ALTERNATE TIMELE IS ONE WHERE SHREK WAS NEVER BORN; SO STEAD OF REVERTG BACK TO THE ORIGAL TIMELE WHEN THE DAY ENDS, THE TIMELE WHERE SHREK WAS NEVER BORN WILL BEE THE REAL TIMELE AND SHREK WILL CEASE TO EXIST STEAD. IN THE OPENG IS REVEALED THAT SPERATN, THE KG AND QUEEN HAD TURNED TO RUMPELSTILTSK TO SAVE FNA OM HER CURSE. HIS AL TO "MAKE ALL THEIR PROBLEMS GO AWAY" EXCHANGE FOR THE CROWN TO FAR FAR AWAY IS TERPTED BY SHREK'S ACTNS THE FIRST FILM. IN THE SHREK-LS TIMELE THEY AGREE TO THE AL AND RUMPELSTILTSK MAK THEIR PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR BY MAKG THEM DISAPPEAR. BOTH SHREK AND RUMPELSTILTSK PULL THIS NEAR THE END OF THE FILM. RUMPELSTILTSK PLAC A BOUNTY ON SHREK, OFFERG A WISH TO THE ONE WHO BRGS HIM SHREK. SHREK CIS TO TURN HIMSELF , WH THE WISH BEG FOR RUMPELSTILTSK TO EE ALL OGR. RUMPELSTILTSK AGRE, BUT REVEALS THAT FNA ISN'T EED DUE TO THE FACT THAT, DUE TO HER ONLY BEG AN OGRE DURG THE NIGHT TIME, SHE ISN'T "ALL OGRE". MANIPULATIVE BASTARD: HIS SENTIAL FUNCTN WHEN HE'S NOT BEG A SMUG SNAKE. HE EASILY MANIPULAT SHREK TO MAKG A AL WH HIM BY PREYG ON THE OGRE'S DISSATISFACTN WH HIS LIFE, AND LATER NVC ALL OF FAR FAR AWAY TO HUNT HIM DOWN AFTERWARDS BY PROMISG A WISH TO WHOEVER UGHT HIM. THE NAPOLEON: SHORT, FULL OF HIMSELF, AND PLETELY AX-CRAZY. NEAR-VILLA VICTORY: WHAT MAK HIM STAND OUT AMONG SHREK VILLAS IS THAT HE ACTUALLY SUCCEEDS HIS PLAN, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE GOAL OF THE MOVIE IS TO UNDO RUMPEL'S VICTORY! HE TRICKED SHREK TO SIGNG THE NTRACT TO REMOVE THE DAY THE OGRE WAS BORN, WHICH ALLOWS HIM TO TAKE OVER FAR FAR AWAY. NON-ACTN BIG BAD: DPE THE FACT THAT HE IS THE MA CULPR OF ALL BAD EVENTS OF SHREK FOREVER AFTER, HE HIMSELF IS NOT A FIGHTER AND PREFERS TO HI BEHD THE BACKS OF HIS ARMY OF WCH. NON-STANDARD CHARACTER DIGN: COMPARED TO THE OTHER HUMAN CHARACTERS WHO LOOK MORE REALISTIC, RUMPELSTILTSK REALLY STANDS OUT WH HIS POTY EARS AND EAKISHLY EXAGGERATED FACIAL FEATUR. EVEN THE RIMPELSTILTSK OM SHREK THE THIRD LOOKED PROPERLY HUMANOID. PET THE DOG: AS MUCH AS A TERRIBLE BOSS HE IS, HE STILL ALLOWED THE WCH TO THROW A PARTY HIS STLE. ALSO WHEN HE BE KG OF FAR FAR AWAY, HE MAK SURE FIFI LIV LUXURY. REALY WARPER: IF SIGNED, RUMPELSTILTSK'S NTRACTS ALLOW HIM TO WARP REALY TO HIS AND THE SIGNER'S WHIMS. WHEN HE SUCCSFULLY MANIPULATED SHREK TO GIVG UP THE DAY HE WAS BORN, RUMPLE SENTIALLY REPLACED THE CURRENT REALY WH A NEW ONE WHERE HE REIGNED AS KG OF FAR FAR AWAY. REMPTN REJECTN: IF HE AND THE RUMPELSTILTSK OM SHREK THE THIRD ARE ONE AND THE SAME, THEN UNLIKE THE OTHER FAIRY TAL VILLAS HE CID TO NOT CHANGE HIS WAYS AFTER ARTIE'S SPEECH. RET-GONE: HIS FATE THE ALTERNATE TIMELE, BEG WIPED OM EXISTENCE LIKE EVERYTHG ELSE. THE RUMPLE SHREK'S TIMELE THEN GETS APPREHEND AND GED BEFORE HE N EVEN START HIS PLAN UP. RIPPLE-EFFECT-PROOF MEMORY: AFTER SHREK SIGNS HIS MAGIC NTRACT CREATG A NEW TIMELE WHERE HE WAS NEVER BORN, RUMPEL IS THE ONE PERSON BIS SHREK WHO REMEMBERS HIM AND THE OLD TIMELE. SAME CHARACTER, BUT DIFFERENT: HIS APPEARANC THE THIRD AND FOURTH MOVI DIRECTLY NTRADICT EACH OTHER APPEARANCE, MOTIVATNS, AND PERSONALY. SATANIC ARCHETYPE: HE HAS A TENNCY TO MAKE BARGAS WH PEOPLE, CLAIMG HE WILL HELP THEM BUT PLANNG TO SCREW THE OTHER PERSON OVER FOR HIS BENEF. ON THE SIGN HIS TRAILER PARK, SAYS "ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE" WHICH IS A REFERENCE TO SUPPOSED SCRIPTN AT THE GATE TO HELL OM THE DIVE COMEDY. HE ALSO HE HAS A PRONOUNCED HUMAN APPEARANCE WH HIS POTY EARS AND EAKISHLY EXAGGERATED FACIAL FEATUR. SMUG SNAKE: WHILE TAKG A BREAK OM MANIPULATN. THIS PROV TO BE A MISTAKE. TIME MASTER: AS PART OF HIS MAGIC NTRACTS, HE HAS THE ABILY TO NULLIFY THE EFFECT OF A DAY THE PAST ORR TO GRANT A "EE" DAY THE PRENT, WHICH IS WHAT HE DO WH SHREK. IN THE OGRE'S SE, RUMPEL NULLIFI THE DAY SHREK WAS BORN. SUICIDAL "GOTCHA!"!: VILLAO VERSN. IN THE CLIMAX RUMPEL IS RNERED BY THE OGRE WARRRS AND JUMPS BACKWARD OFF THE BALNY, G THEM ALL TO GASP. HE THEN APPEARS RIDG FIFI, HIS GIANT PET GOOSE AND SAYS "SO LONG!". TRASHY TRAILER HOME: RUMPELSTILTSK IS TRODUCED LIVG A HACKNEYED FANTASY EQUIVALENT, A "RRIAGE PARK" POPULATED PRIMARILY BY WCH ACTG OUT VAR REDNECK STEREOTYP. THE QUEEN LOCKS THE DOORS WHEN THEY RI THROUGH. TRRRILLG RRRS: INTRODUC HIMSELF AS "RRMPELSTILTSK" DURG HIS SPEECH. VILLA BALL: IF HE HADN'T TOLD SHREK EXACTLY WHAT THE NTRACT HAD DONE (REMOVG THE DAY OF SHREK'S BIRTH), SHREK WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HIS PLAN AND WOULD HAVE DISTEGRATED BY THE END OF THE DAY, LEAVG RUMPEL TO LE FAR FAR AWAY WHOUT OPPOSN. VILLAO BREAKDOWN: DETERMED NOT TO LET SHREK RECLAIM FNA'S LOVE FOR HIM AND NULLIFY RUMPEL'S NTRACT, RUMPEL BE MORE AND MORE ENRAGED HIS TERMATN TO KEEP THE ALTERNATE TIMELE THE DYSTOPIA IS. WHEN SHREK FALLY SUCCEEDS RECLAIMG FNA'S TE LOVE'S KISS, NULLIFYG THE NTRACT, RUMPEL STARTS BEGGG FOR MORE TIME LIKE A HYSTERIL BABY AS HIS WHOLE ALTERNATE REALY FALLS APART BEFORE HIS VERY EY. VILLA HAS A POT: WHILE HE DID MANIPULATE SHREK SIGNG THE NTRACT TO BE AN OGRE FOR A DAY AND MA SO SHREK WAS NEVER BORN, WHEN SHREK BLAM HIM FOR WHAT HE DID TO HIS FAY, RUMPEL MAK A VALID POT THAT SHREK WILLGLY LET HIM TAKE ANY DAY OM HIS PAST THAT HE WANTED AND SIGNED THE NTRACT OF HIS OWN EE WILL.SHREK: YOU TOOK THE DAY I WAS BORN... RUMPEL: NO, SHREK. YOU GAVE TO ME. VILLAO UNRDOG: UNLIKE EVERY OTHER BIG BAD THE SERI, RUMPELSTILTSK ( THE NORMAL REALY) MANDS NO ARMI AND IS NOT ROYALTY, JT ONE SUPREMELY NNIVG MANIPULATIVE BASTARD LIVG ALONE A TRAILER PARK WHO ENGEERS HIS PLANS THROUGH LETHALLY WEAPONIZED LOOPHOLE ABE. WOULD H A GIRL: HE KILLG ONE OF HIS WCH ON SCREEN BY POURG WATER ONTO HER. HE WAS ALSO READY TO FEED FNA TO THE DRAGON. WOULD HURT A CHILD: BY MAKG A AL WH SHREK AND TAKG AWAY THE DAY HE WAS BORN, RUMPLE TECHNILLY MS THE MURR OF A NEWLY BORN CHILD, AS WELL AS ERASG SHREK’S THREE BABI OM HISTORY ALONG WH HIM. WOUND GAZELLE GAMB: HE THAT GAMB TO MEET SHREK. HE'S TRAPPED UNR HIS RRIAGE à LA WICKED WCH OF THE EAST, WH ONE OF THE ONT WHEELS OFF.
