Dwight Schrute

**Dwight Schrute** is the deuteragonist of the American adaptation of *The Office*. He is assistant to the regional manager Michael Scott who he seems to have an inexplicable admiration for. Dwight is a great salesman but his arrogant authoritarian attitude alienates him from most others. Dwight does have good qualities though and cares for his colleagues more than he would like them to know.

### Why He Doesn't Stand Out?

* His actions are bog-standard niceness mostly.
* Though his resentment of Jim is somewhat justified due to all the pranks, Dwight's treatment of him can be downright horrible such as stealing 25% of his commission and trying to ruin his career through malicious slander. However, he was disgusted by Ryan's suggestion of enacting a *Saw* trap for Jim which shows he has standards.
* His blind loyalty to Michael often causes him to do mean and vicious things to Toby under Michael's orders.
	+ While he does have standards on what'd be excessively mean, such as when he called out Michael for making him give Toby a rock labeled "suck on this!" as a going-away gift under Michael's name, there are times when Dwight himself is actually more enthusiastic on mistreatment methods for Toby than Michael, such as when he suggested they frame him for using drugs.
	+ In the series finale, he fires Toby alongside Kevin for unknown reasons, possibly to either stop Toby from interfering in Kevin being fired, on orders from corporate, or just sheer dislike of Toby.
* He is not always loyal as shown when he tries to steal Michael's job in "The Coup".
* He's done a number of morally bad things, such as exploiting immigrant workers and giving Stanley a heart attack that make him an On & Off villainous character.
* He repeatedly slept with Angela while she was engaged to Andy.
* He is very arrogant and treats all his co-workers like they are beneath him.
