In novels, greedy characters can serve as antagonists. Take the character of Ebenezer Scrooge from 'A Christmas Carol' before his transformation. He was extremely greedy for money, hoarding it and not caring about the well - being of others around him. His greed made him cold - hearted and isolated. But his journey also shows how a greedy character can change when confronted with the truth about his actions.
They are often portrayed as self - centered. For instance, many greedy characters will put their own desires above the needs of others, like the Duke in 'The Duchess of Malfi' who desires power and control over the Duchess so much that he is willing to do immoral things.
Obviously, there is the greedy king. There might also be his servants or advisors who either enable his greed or try to stop it. And of course, his subjects, the common people in his kingdom, would be important characters as they are affected by the king's greedy actions.
The main character is the Greedy King. In addition to him, there might be his family members. For example, a queen who might try to influence his actions, either towards more greed or towards reform. There could be his children who may be heir to his kingdom and whose future is affected by his greed. Then there are the nobles in his court. Some of them might be in cahoots with the king in his greedy undertakings, while others might be secretly plotting against him because of his excessive greed which is harming the kingdom as a whole.
I'm not sure specifically as you haven't provided the details of the story. But generally, they would be the so - called 'greedy friends' which could be two or more individuals whose actions are driven by greed.
The main character is the greedy king. He is the central figure around whom the story revolves. There could be courtiers in the story as well. These courtiers might be sycophants who fuel the king's greed by constantly flattering him and suggesting ways to amass more wealth or power. There might also be a character like a wise old man who tries to warn the king about the consequences of his greed.
πI recommend the following novels to you. I hope they meet your requirements:
1. "The Western Kingdom War Emperor of the Primordial World": Although the main character, Li Zhan, was an Earthling, he was especially greedy. In the Primordial World, he had to face almost all the forces, but he was not invincible. He needed to grow step by step.
2. In "I'm in the Chaos Stacking System", the main character Chu Haoxuan was also very greedy. He kept getting rewards from the system and constantly improving his strength. He was not invincible and needed to cultivate hard.
I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
