* PowerStereotypeFlip: Of [[spoiler: humanoid Soulsborne {{Final Boss}}es. Normally, when the final enemy is some kind of EvilCounterpart or MirrorBoss to the player, they're portrayed as either some kind of tragic FallenHero, a WorthyOpponent who wants one final duel, or a HumanoidAbomination of some variety. Firth on the other hand is none of those, being a selfish opportunist who's solely out to better his own interests who only has the power he does through exploiting the work of others. Instead of his motivations being sympathetic or too alien to understand, he has the plain and infuriatingly simple motivation of just being a greedy asshole who doesn't care for anyone but himself.]]
