Personality
Prince takes pride in being "very good with pain." He often cheerfully orders his followers to their deaths, bidding them "cheery-bye" as they go. He has waged an endless war on the planet Water, partly in order to harvest its water for the dry planet Fire, but mostly for the sake of killing and torturing the helpless good souls on Water. He also enjoys tempting good people on Water to commit evil acts, thus condemning them to reincarnation on Fire.
Prince does not himself know of his origins, his age, or why he exists and has the powers he does. At one point he tells Kai that he believes he has probably existed since the dawn of time. Although Prince has been warring for countless ages against Water, and has defeated it innumerable times, he has always lost it due to himself and his subordinates then beginning to squabble amongst themselves, eventually destroying each other. As Fire and Water serve as the after life of all souls, anyone who dies is eventually reincarnated, leaving Fire and Water in a constant state of war. He also constantly fights against a lesser ruler on Fire named Duke. Prince has grown tired of this unchanging state of equilibrium, so he welcomes the coming of the Lexx as a means to destroy Water and end his war.

Famous quotes containing the word personality:
“It is in our interests to let the police and their employers go on believing that the Underground is a conspiracy, because it increases their paranoia and their inability to deal with what is really happening. As long as they look for ringleaders and documents they will miss their mark, which is that proportion of every personality which belongs in the Underground.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Western man represents himself, on the political or psychological stage, in a spectacular world-theater. Our personality is innately cinematic, light-charged projections flickering on the screen of Western consciousness.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“It is personality with a penny’s worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
