Mr Rabbit is not a villain in the true sense of the word. He doesn’t plot, doesn’t build empires, doesn’t seek power. But in his own quiet way, he’s something worse: a parasite who always survives. Petty, calculating, and spineless, he slips through the story not by winning – but by never risking anything.

He is one of those figures who thrive in broken systems. A servant here, a merchant there, always with a smile wide enough to hide the sneer. His betrayals are never grand, but always precise. And somehow, he’s always in just the right place to do harm – and gone before the dust has settled.

Mr Rabbit doesn’t change. That’s what makes him dangerous. He never changes, because he doesn’t have to. He fits in anywhere – as long as there’s something to gain and someone else to take the blame. You don’t notice him until it’s too late. You forget him – and then he returns, wearing a different hat, with the same smile.

In a world of fire and ghosts, of revolutions and sacrifice, Mr Rabbit is a symbol of something quietly corrosive: the constant face of petty self-interest. He is not evil. He is something worse – he is everywhere.

– Ears = always seeking gain, never truth

– Teeth = small bites, small damage – but constant

– Paws = always ready to take, never to hold

– Tail = vanity without substance

– Cowboy outfit = his only mask, often changed, always the same underneath

Simple deal: you need a bit of cash. Without it, nothing works... Me though, I don’t have any. I mean, none to spare. Next question.

Well yes, carrots. Lots of carrots. Find me two or three sacks of carrots and I’ll show you the way out of here.

Alright, alright, no need to get petty. Let’s say half then. So, three divided by two, uhhh, that should be... six and a half, right?

There’s no other way, and you don’t mess with the Spider: he’s very serious about order and really doesn’t like making exceptions. If you ask me, he’s a bit narrow-minded, but otherwise he works very diligently and precisely.
