* TheNarcissist: To the extreme with Norman. Norman had intense narcissism, which manifested itself in him regarding Empress Theresa as the greatest book of all time, beliving he has greater reach or power than he really has (For example, he believes that his now-defunct website had far greater than Amazon, one of the largest websites on the internet), and believes that Empress Theresa is a masterpiece to the point of arguing with anyone who saw it as anything less, to name a few examples.
