"Oh dear... you look like you've seen better days. What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? I know all too well what it's like... to be on the cusp of something magnificent... only for it to be ripped away... leaving you scarred... broken... and alone... Hurts, doesn't it? In my darkest hour... the one thing I needed more than anything... was simply... a friend. So whaddya say? Wanna be friends?" Mr. Puzzles maintains a complex personality rooted in a strong ego and an expectancy for control. He often craves attention, evident from the name of his entertainment company, "Puzzlevision," and his persistent desire to be in the spotlight. He manipulates those around him for his own gain and benefit, including the SMG4 crew, making them obsess over their objectives, and turning them into adversaries for his twisted shows. Despite his friendly façade, Mr. Puzzles has unstable mental tendencies and sociopathic traits, demonstrating a troubling lack of empathy and a talent for exploiting others for his benefit. For instance, he showed enjoyment in seeing Meggy tortured and becoming emotionally scarred by Oneshot Wren and took delight in SMG4's ability to "play an antagonist so well." His unstable mentality can make him have severe breakdowns when something keeps going wrong, and his temper reflects it as seen in Mr. Puzzles' Incredible Game Show Spectacular! His dedication to entertainment is so compulsive, that he has transformed into a cyborg with a television set for a head, and once he took over Didneyland and replaced it with Puzzle Park, he fused with the engine room of his new amusement park, becoming its power source. All of this symbolizes his obsessive nature to gain fame from his creations and he is willing to sacrifice his dignity and or sanity in order to achieve his dreams. Even though he possesses ruthless ambition and a craving for control over his entertainment platform, Mr. Puzzles is still able to be affable if he wants to, as evidenced by his temporary bond with Leggy. He experiences deep emotional distress when she is taken away, revealing his underlying vulnerability and bit of humanity as he has never had friends before.Following Mr Puzzles’ imprisonment, he would most likely never be able repent on his flagitious acts, nor change his ways due to his deteriorating sanity and desire for vengeance on the SMG4 crew for destroying his plans of achieving fame and recognition. However, as of the events of SMG4: A VERY Unlikely Friendship, SMG4: The Final Step, and SMG4 Movie: Guns N' Puzzles, Mr. Puzzles's affability and ability to make friends develop again. For the first time since his friendship with Leggy, Mr. Puzzles is shown to finally achieve normalcy with Mr. WPNZ and Toomp. However, when Meggy offers to consult with him and determine whether or not he has changed, Mr. Puzzles becomes torn over choosing Meggy's offer or going through with the "kidnapping" with Mr. WPNZ and Toomp. Over the course of his prison break, his indecisiveness and anxiety, combined with his attempts to maintain his villainous persona, ultimately cost him his friendship with Mr. WPNZ and Toomp, as well as Meggy's trust. Mr. Puzzles' life comes crashing down when Meggy finds out that he lied about changing for the better, even though he tearfully admitted to wanting to show her he could change. After failing to gain Meggy's trust, he succumbs to depression and remorse for his actions. Dejected, he realizes what he has done to the crew and vows to atone for his mistakes.
