## His Qualities

### What Makes Him Entertaining?

* He is a charismatic and faux-affable trickster who is very good at getting people to make deals with him.
* While they don't detract from his heinousness, he has a multitude of comedic moments, mostly black comedy that shows his chaotic personality.
* He has an iconic design inspired by the real-world Eye of Providence symbol.
* He manipulated Standford Pines into building a portal to serve his agenda, all the while using his charm to make Stanford think he was his friend.
* In his debut, he nearly succeeded in stealing the code to the Mystery Shack's safe.
* He tricked Dipper into making a deal with him where Dipper had to give Bill "a puppet," which Bill used as a chance to possess Dipper's body.
* While possessing Blendin Blandin, he tricked Mabel into giving him the dimensional rift by saying that he'd make summer endless.
* He imprisoned Mabel in a prison bubble where she could live out her fantasy to keep her distracted.
* During Weirdmageddon, he had several hammy and awesome lines.

### What Makes Him Detestable?

* He is incredibly sadistic and has committed a litany of "for the evulz" crimes, such as:
	+ Possessing Dipper and using the chance to abuse Dipper's body in a multitude of ways.
	+ Shuffling the functions of every hole in Preston Northwest's face for his amusement.
	+ Turning random civilians into statues and stacking them into a "frozen throne of human agony."
	+ Placing Wendy, Gideon, McGucket, Robbie, Soos, and Pacifica in a state of conscious torment.
	+ Trying to kill one of the Pines twins while Stanford and Stanley watched "just for the heck of it."
* For all of his intelligence, he is ultimately out-gambited by Stanley Pines in a humiliating display where he has a villainous breakdown, begs for mercy despite all of his crimes, and is instead justly killed.
