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:
“Fundamentally the male artist approximates more to the psychology of woman, who, biologically speaking, is a purely creative being and whose personality has been as mysterious and unfathomable to the man as the artist has been to the average person.”
—Beatrice Hinkle (1874–1953)
“There are people who can write their memoirs with a reasonable amount of honesty, and there are people who simply cannot take themselves seriously enough. I think I might be the first to admit that the sort of reticence which prevents a man from exploiting his own personality is really an inverted sort of egotism.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“But most of us are apt to settle within ourselves that the man who blocks our way is odious, and not to mind causing him a little of the disgust which his personality excites in ourselves.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
