Pantaloons

"Now listen here, you'll do as I say, and that's an order! An order! No, I didn't ask for hors d'urves, and you know that!"- Pantaloons being very much ignored when trying to manage food preparation!
==Profile==
Allegedly, Pantaloons is the ringmaster of the World's End Carnival. I say "allegedly" because nobody actually listens to him. In fact, more gets done by doing the opposite of what he says than by actually listening to him.
He resents this so very; very much. But he never actually ceases to try and domineer and boast and bluster as the self-presumed leader, even as everyone jokes he's more full of hot air than the actual balloon-themed member of the World's End Carnival (Don't worry, we'll get to them eventually).
Ironically, despite his meanness, he's better liked in the Carnival than; say; Mr Punch. Mainly because he's too bad at what he does to be hateable, he's treated as more pathetic than a threat; all bark and no bite. Of course, this is amongst the carnival, if you're a normal person, he can still be quite terrifying...
==Abilities==
His powers include the usual clowny WEC suite, with a love for whip-themed abilities especially, but he specializes in that hat with the swirling dial. He can use it for hypnosis on "lesser" beings if he gets them helpless in a corner (Though even this is far more inconsistent than he likes), but he far more often uses it to change the "scenery" to a miniature pocket-world of his desiring. 
Of course, these worlds do need to be prepared beforehand, and they're often... not to his liking.
==Characterization==
He is a sour creature, a bitter old man full of piss and vinegar (And yes, people have made jokes about his golden pantaloons to that regard), and utterly humorless in a way that he's the perfect living setup for jokes at his expense. Which, somehow, tend to work towards his goals, even if it's never in the way he wants. Which, of course, he always complains about.
Given he is the ultimate straight-man he's able to employ the most diverse variety of secondary clowns, which means a tendency to delegate, which means the most diversity of ways for things to go wrong. Yet, also somehow, they tend to go right when they go wrong. Funny how that works. 
==Additional Info.==
...Also, he gets really angry if you mess with his shiny; fancy pants. And also if you imply that bulge comes from him stuffing socks into there.
==Author Commentary==
As with all the core of the World's End Carnival, he's based on a character from the Commedia Dell'arte, in this case Pantalone. 
A friend of mine said they looked plausible as a Tumblr Husbando-type character. God help us all if that's the case...
