* IntrafamilialClassConflict: Played for BlackComedy. Monty Navarro spent his life in poverty, until he learns after his mother's death that she was an heiress of the incredibly wealthy [[PunnyName D'Ysquith]] family, disinherited for marrying his working-class father. Monty, as eighth in line for the Earl of Highhurst position, decides to improve his station and take revenge for his mother's disgrace by [[AssholeVictim killing off everyone ahead of him in succession]]. Downplayed since he never tells his victims he is related to them, so it's more of a one-sided conflict.
