History Characters / SuccessionMainCharacters

* JerkassHasAPoint: Deconstructed. He often manages to accurately pin-point the faults of others, such as his dad's abuse, Roman's phony fratbro persona, Shiv's NotSoDifferent behavior, and Greg's parasitic relationship to the family. However, he's often needlessly cruel and vindictive when he verbalizes those faults, ensuring they'll never take his observations to heart.

* NoSocialSkills: Kendall has real issues in formal or social settings, using inappropriate language in a business meeting and struggling to maintain conversations. Almost everyone finds him incredibly off putting as a result.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Logan is not an obvious racist or misogynist, and generally he doesn't often display overt racist or white supremacist views, but that doesn't mean he lacks those tendencies.

** As Logan becomes more stressed, he becomes more openly racist, using a racial slur directed at Latino people and later making a vaguely antisemitic remarks toward Josh Aaronson.

* BadassDecay: She loses the cool charisma she had in the first season during the second, when her desire to be Logan's successor drives her to a series of humiliating moments.

* AmicableExes: With his ex-wife Rava, initially, although things end up deteriorating between them.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Kendall obviously grew up disconnected from the real world and might just be crumbling under the weight of his own emotional stress, but there is definitely a way to read his self-destructive tendencies, addictive personality, bouts of disassociation, stilted mannerisms and poor social skills as indicative of either a mental illness or a personality disorder. His son Iverson also seems to have a similar issue.
** His behavior during the whole first episode of Season 3 seems very similiar to a maniac episode.

* DisappointingOlderSibling: Although he isn't Logan's oldest son (that's Connor), Logan makes it clear that he is also disappointed in Logan most of the time, despite being highly well-trailed.

** {{Manchild}}: Prior to the start of the show, he's a twentysomething slacker with no marketable skills and no ability or desire to keep a job.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: On one hand, Frank comes across as genuinely nice guy who lacks the corruption of others in Logan's circle, with us yet to see him committing any heinous actions. But the fact that he works at Waystar and made it up high enough to where he is means it's more likely than not that Frank's dirtied his hands a bit. Still, as we've yet to see any of this, it's possible Frank's clean.

* AmbiguouslyBi: He shows no interest in any other woman except Shiv and no men...except he's very, very attached to Greg. The first thing he does when he meets him is try to bully him, asking if he'd hiss him, and he's very jealous when Greg moves in with Kendall.

* BigBad: Of the entire show and to so many different people. Logan is the most toxic influence in everyone's lives, including his own, and his political agenda has been slowly poisoning the world over the course of his reign.

** As Logan becomes more stressed, he becomes more openly racist, using a racial slur directed at Latino people and later making a vaguely antisemitic remark toward Josh Aaronson.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Logan's yet to display any overt racist or white supremacist views, but ATN is a direct reflection of his own idealogies, and they're so right-wing they employed a fascist as one of their biggest names. He's also no stranger to misogyny, which is a possible motivation for why he kept Shiv in the cold for so long. There's also been plenty of hints that far from merely covering up the cruises scandal, he may have been a direct participant in the sexual abuses that took place. Connor even claims there was an unspoken policy at the company of "no blacks, no Jews and no women above the fourth floor" and we hear Logan use a racial slur against Latino people and make what Kendall calls an anti-semitic remark towards Josh Aaronson in the same episode.
* {{Pride}}: He will not let go of his company. He also refuses visitors in his weakened state after his stroke.

* LargeHam: When he gets going, Logan can be ''very'' theatrical and really commits to making his threats and insults as theatrical as possible.

* PetTheDog: For all his flaws, he does come to genuinely like and care for Greg.

* ProfessionalButtKisser: He's good at subtlely

* SmallNameBigEgo: Not really "small" given his status and influence but Logan occasionally forgets that there are limits to what even he can do and not everyone he does business with is in awe or terrified of him enough to let him walk all over them nor can he merely force people above him, such as the government or President, to bow to his will as he demands. One notable moment during Season 3 is him being told that the FBI are not his employees and he can't simply tell them to "fuck off" when they have a warrant to search company records.
