Major Characters

    Merchant Dulard 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_23_84359_pm.png
some caption text
A Fat Bastard and a merchant by trade. He helped kidnap the princess and then tried to kill the king a few games later.
  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: He's begging for help when Dregg knocks him into the water. He unfortunately doesn't end up drowning.
  • Asshole Victim: A non-fatal example. He was knocked into the ocean then chased down by two professional killers. It's a traumatic ordeal, though one he deserved every second of.
  • The Bus Came Back: He's the attempted murderer in one of the later games, long after being chased off by Ethan and Emily.
  • Butt-Monkey: Things don't tend to go well for him, though he deserves whatever misfortune comes his way.
  • Catchphrase: "Nobody calls me fat." Unfortunately for him, everyone calls him fat.
  • Dirty Coward: He freaks out and runs away when Ethan and Emily try to kill him for failing his end of the deal.
  • Evil Is Petty: He tried to kill the king due to his plan to kidnap his daughter being foiled by Dregg, who is barely related to the king in any way.
  • Evil Redhead: He's got red hair and has personally victimised two members of the royal family.
  • Fat Bastard: He's obese and a total prick. His weight actually is a vital point in catching him in a later game, as Amber points out he shouldn't be sweating so much for a guard that's supposedly in top physical condition.
  • Hate Sink: He's an arrogant and petty dickbag.
    Dregg's internal monologue This arrogant dough is the reason gyms were invented.
  • Humiliation Conga: He's knocked into the water and then hunted down by Ethan and Emily. A little while later, his assassination attempt on the king is foiled and his fat ass is finally hauled off to jail.
  • Hypocritical Humor: He gets upset when Dregg insults him, despite insulting him a mere second ago.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: He got away unpunished by the law with kidnapping princess Sarah, though he was humiliated by Ethan and Emily. He was finally arrested after dressing up as a soldier in an elaborate plan to murder King Frake.
  • Master of Disguise: He was able to convincingly disguise himself as a soldier. The only thing that gave him away was his excessive sweating due to his obesity.
  • Meaningful Name: Dullard is a term for a stupid person. This merchant certainly fits the bill.
  • Misplaced Retribution: He tries to kill King Frake despite the king doing nothing to him. Dregg was the one that knocked him into the water, after all.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: He actually did succeed in killing King Frake, though this was nullified by Amber reversing time.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: He's incredibly classist, having no respect whatsoever for peasants of any sort.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: He's an average merchant, though he likes to believe he's something special.
  • Stupid Evil: He's easily manipulated by other people and his plans fall apart with only a little bit of pressure.
  • Super Drowning Skills: Subverted. He's so fat that he just washes up on a nearby shore. It still doesn't appear like he can swim though.
  • Uncertain Doom: He's chased by Ethan and Emily, two criminals far more athletic than he is. It's unknown what happens to him when they catch him.
    • Subverted. Somehow, he got away, and came back a little while later to try and take revenge on the king.
  • Walking Spoiler: He's still alive, and back with a grudge against King Frake.

    Soldier Captain

some caption text
A soldier currently guarding the crime scene.
  • The Alcoholic: He's apparently always drinking.
  • Ascended Extra: He's the drunken soldier from the dragon case. Now, he has his own fleshed out personality, hence why he has a page here.
  • Brutal Honesty: He makes it quite clear to Polly exactly what he thinks of him.
    Polly Could you please open a window? I would like to jump out now...
    Captain I would love to Sir, but then I would be charged with accessory to suicide.
  • Catchphrase: Hold my bottle and watch this.
  • No Name Given: He's still only referred to by his rank.

    Maid Martha 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_24_104505_am.png
some caption text
Princess Sarah's trusted maid.
  • Catchphrase: Let me take care of you.
  • Didn't See That Coming: Like everyone else, she was completely unprepared for the fact that someone working inside the castle could have kidnapped Princess Sarah.
  • Hidden Depths: She apparently likes death metal.
  • Maid: It's in her name, after all.
  • Mr. Exposition: She provides some information about the castle security. This ends up being useful to show how the culprit got inside the castle.
  • Nice Girl: She's very friendly and polite, even under incredibly stressful situations.

Minor Characters

    Evil post officers 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_22_100426_pm.png
some caption text
Two evil post officers in Dregg's fantasy. They're evil and they're post officers.
  • Asshole Victim: According to Dregg anyways. They deserve to die for all the unspeakable horrors they commit as post officers.
  • Evil Is Petty: Here's a little "conversation" they have.
    Post office employee So I said to him, I don't care if you are the son of a counselor. Your parcel will reach you when the postman feels like it.
    Post office employee 2 Ha! You showed him alright. Just because we deliver letters and parcels, people think that is our job.
  • Evil Laugh: They laugh manaically when threatening not to have a customer's parcel reach its destination.
  • Evil Redhead: They both have red hair and are irredemable monsters.
  • Flat Character: They have no depth whatsoever.
  • Hate Sink: What Dregg would want you to believe. Due to them being figments of his imagination, they're made to seem as loathesome as imaginable.
  • Jerkass: Their only character trait.
  • Protagonist-Centered Morality: They're just doing their job, even if they're being assholes about it, but since this is Dregg's fantasy, they're the embodiment of evil who deserve to die.
  • Take That!: To post office employees.
  • Tempting Fate: When a customer warns them not to treat them this way, they scoff and sarcastically ask who is going to stop them. They find out.

    Post office customers 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_22_100928_pm.png
some caption text
Some unfortunate people being victimised by the evil post officers.
  • Damsel in Distress: They only exist for Dregg to save them from the evil post officers.
  • Hero-Worshipper: They all adore Dregg, with some of the women even wanting his babies.
  • You Monster!: They something along these lines to the post office employees.

    Fantasy Dregg 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_22_101827_pm.png
some caption text
How Dregg sees himself, apparently.
  • Big Damn Heroes: He comes in to save the day at just the right moment.
  • Chick Magnet: All the ladies want him due to his utterly basass aura.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Even in this fantasy, the post office workers probably didn't deserve to die.
  • The Hero: He saves the day by vanquishing the evil post office workers using his dragon.
  • Informed Attribute: He's apparently the most handsome man in the kingdom. He looks just like Dregg, who is not good looking in the slightest.
  • Protagonist-Centered Morality: Calling him a "hero" is a bit of a stretch since he still murders people for ridiculously petty reasons.
  • Sociopathic Hero: He still has two post officers brutally murdered for a minor reason, showing that this is certainly Dregg.

    Adventurer 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_22_103419_pm_200x200.png
some caption text
Some guy. He has no relevance to the story whatsoever.
  • Flat Character: He has only one line of dialogue.
  • Hero of Another Story: He's an adventurer, so he probably has some cool stories to tell.
  • Mr. Exposition: He gives Dregg a bit of information about how dangerous wild animals inhabit the forests, which along with the river, form a border between kingdoms.
  • No Name Given: He's simply adventurer.

    Lassie 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_22_104013_pm.png
some caption text
A dog trying to get Timmy from a well.
  • Heroic Dog: Lassie is just trying to rescue Timmy from the well.
  • Hero of Another Story: They're trying to get Timmy out of the well while Dregg rescues a kidnapped princess.
  • Shout-Out: To Lassie, the heroic dog.
  • The Unreveal: It's never stated if they got Timmy out of the well.

    Neighbor 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_22_104500_pm.png
some caption text
A woman worried about catching Dregg's negativity.
  • Hypocritical Humor: She's worried about catching Dregg's negativity, not realising her personality isn't much better than his.
  • No Name Given: Neighbor probably isn't her real name.
  • Properly Paranoid: She's worried about Dregg infecting her with negativity. She's not wrong to be terrified, since Dregg is an infamous Hope Crusher.

    Grandma 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_22_105000_pm.png
some caption text
Someone's grandma, who likes to complain.
  • Anachronism Stew: The time period she lives in apparently didn't have walkways until recently, yet she has a pension, something that wasn't introduced until the 1890s. While this may be because the place she lives is dirt poor, the houses would suggest otherwise and walkways are extremely easy and cheap to make, not to mention vital for a large neighborhood.
  • Hypocrite: She mentions how kids have it so easy these days due to having walkways while she has a retirement fund provided to her.
  • No Name Given: She's simply called grandma.
  • When I Was Your Age...: She uses this when saying that Dregg's lucky that he has a sidewalk, as she apparently didn't have one in her youth. Dregg responds by saying she has retirement benefits so she should quit complaining.

    Chicken 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_22_105628_pm.png
some caption text
It's a chicken.
  • Chicken Joke: Dregg makes a "joke" about the chicken
    Dregg Why did the chicken cross the road? Because the king is incompetent.
  • Flat Character: It doesn't talk or have any personality, only existing so Dregg can make a snarky comment relating to it.

    Horse 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_22_110114_pm.png
some caption text
A horse.
  • Ridiculously Average Guy: Compared to all the zany and quirky characters in the series, it's just a horse. Dregg tries to initiate a conversation with it, and all it does is neigh. Not that Dregg was expecting it to do anything special.

    Housewife 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_22_110524_pm.png
some caption text
A woman who works on her dad's farm.
  • Antagonistic Offspring: She's only living with her father so she can inherit his house when he dies.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She may seem nice, but she's waiting for her own dad to die so she can inherit his house. From the looks of it, she won't be waiting long.
  • Housewife: It's even in her name!
  • No Name Given: She's simply known as housewife.

    Old farmer 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_22_110946_pm.png
some caption text
An old farmer who thinks he's growing cabbages.
  • Scatterbrained Senior: He thinks he's growing cabbages when he's actually growing carrots. He also believes that cabbages are red.

    Farmer's son 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_22_111306_pm.png
some caption text
The farmer's son.
  • Noodle Incident: The carrot business has apparently been going badly due to a time where the king accidentaly sat on one.

    "Soldiers" 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_23_125016_pm.png
some caption text
Three corrupt soldiers barring Dregg from taking the bridge.
  • Bad Liar: They are abysmal at upholding their soldier facade, either being too overzealous in their manufactured personality or too lazy to keep the charade up for more than a sentence.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: They're a Bad Liar going up against a Great Detective. It's harder to lose by accident than it is to win.
  • Evil Plan: They're loitering around the bridge, claiming that a tax has to be paid to cross it. The rule was apparently made just seconds ago and they're dilligent enough to have been upholding it even before it "existed."
  • Karma Houdini: They get away with attempting to extort Dregg due to Felicia beating him up due to a misunderstanding.
  • Obviously Evil: They're rather conspicuous in how they act, outright saying they're looking for victims within earshot of Dregg.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: They apparently don't approve of interracial mingling, becoming distracted if Dregg claims two people of different races are chatting with one another.
  • Reused Character Design: They're just the soldier sprite used for a different character.
  • Rule of Three: There's three of them blocking the bridge.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When Felicia arrives at the scene and wrongfully attacks Dregg, they make haste, using the confusion to leave immediately.
  • Sore Loser: When Dregg outsmarts them in a debate, they resort to trying to beat him up instead.
  • Stupid Evil: While their Evil Plan is sound, their execution is beyond incompetent.
  • Warm-Up Boss: They're the first medieval debate opponents Dregg faces in the game.

    Guard 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_23_84428_pm_1_200x200.png
some caption text
Two soldiers who are actually doing their job by guarding the castle. Apart from letting the princess be smuggled out in a cart, they're doing a decent job. There's also a third guard in Princess Sarah's quarters, and two outside her room.
  • Call-Back: One of the guards has the same misspelled line from the second game.
    guard Please stay in this area until furthur notice.
  • Dumbass Has a Point: They might suck at their job, but they know it's a bad idea to let Dregg into the king's quarters.
  • Epic Fail: The princess got kidnapped on their watch. She's one of the most important people in the kingdom.
  • Flat Character: They don't have much personality at all. They're mainly a sentient set decoration.
  • No Name Given: They're only referred to by their occupation.
  • The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: They mainly spend their time standing around and trying to make it look like they serve a purpose. They prefer to ask people if they've seen anything suspicious and didn't notice Princess Sarah was being kidnapped, showing that they either don't bother to do their job or that they are the worst guards in the world.
    Guard So she started targetting people outside of the city. You should tell a guard when you see her again.
  • Reused Character Design: They've got the same model as most generic soldiers in the series.

    Clerk 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_23_90945_pm.png
some caption text
A clerk for the castle.
  • Blue Is Heroic: She helps keep law and order in the kingdom, and she wears blue.
  • Not So Above It All: She has this gem if Dregg talks to her before meeting with the King.
    Clerk If we could pass laws for killing people, I would have got one for my mother-in-law.
  • Only Sane Man: She refuses Dregg's petition, stating she won't allow a law to pass that causes people harm.

    Samuel 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_24_14610_pm.png

A guard by the door.

    Eva's other guards 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_11_24_15401_pm_5.png
some caption text
Eva's other guards. There's not much more to them.
  • Dark Is Evil: Naturally, fitting for their role as Eva's guards.
  • Dumb Muscle: Their implied role. They're just an extra weapon at Eva's disposal.
  • Evil Counterpart: To the castle guards. They're both a bunch of idiots who serve as hired protection for their boss.
  • Flat Character: Even more so than Samuel. They're just there to be hired muscle for Eva.
  • Mr. Exposition: They only serve to announce to Eva that Dregg has foiled her plan.
  • Reused Character Design: They share the standard evil guard outfit.
