2. (1993) My name is Oskar, and while I was never a good man, I never thought of myself as that bad either.

4. (2000) I’m green and I’m mean and I hate the Whos. In fact the only thing I hate more than the Whos is Christmas, so when that meddling little girl asked me to be Holiday Cheer-meister, I thought she had lost her mind. When they were all sleeping, I crept into their homes and stole their Christmas away. But the next morning, when I heard them singing instead of crying, I realized what the true meaning of Christmas really was. I guess that little girl wasn’t so wrong about me after all.

Normally I can perform my duties without any qualms, but lately I’ve been developing a conscience which is really getting in the way.

6. (1991) My name is never revealed, but in my youth I was a conceited, cold, heartless wretch. Because of my lack of compassion, I am forced to live under a curse, until I can find someone I can love, and who can love me in return...but who can love a beast like me?

I was shocked to learn that the bulk of his estate was left to an autistic savant, who I soon learned was a brother I never knew I had. I kidnapped him, intending to use him as leverage to get my share of the estate, but as we made our way across country, I soon discovered that having him as a brother meant much more to me than getting the money.
