User blog:Jeefboi/Why Reginald betrayed Henry


 * Disclaimer: I am definitely not saying Reginald should've betrayed Henry (In fact he shouldn't have). I am just looking at his from his point of view and the more I do the more sense it makes.

Reginald's Main Reasoning
Him betraying Henry makes sense. The only reason he made him the leader was because he already defeated the strongest member and to save himself from being arrested. Also unless the Toppat 4 Life, Toppat King, and Toppat Recruit routes are chosen, Henry doesn't do anything seen as important by Reginald. That's why he shows so much respect for him in the Toppat 4 Life and Toppat King endings. However prior to The Betrayed ending, Henry doesn't do anything of complete relevance. Reginald even points this out in the Toppat Civil Warfare route, Henry barged in and took the thrown for himself without even earning his repsect. Plus he is a cowardice leader of an evil criminal clan, I wouldn't trust him that much If I were Henry. Plus Reginald mostly cares about having the thrown, he will only keep Henry as leader or around if he shows signs of importance and loyalty. Also in the Toppat Civil Warfare route like I mentioned previously, Copperbottom mostly cares about the throne. He isn't upset that Henry betrayed Ellie, he just wants to use as a way to keep his role as the leader.

Conclusion
Now that I've talked about the main topic, the conclusion is that he had a good reason to betray Henry. Sure it wasn't justifyable but it made sense. Also it Henry ends up beating him up and getting his revenge anyways which sadly results in Henry's death :'(

Note: Prior to the Revenged route, Reginald never really shows sign of respecting Henry as a leader.
