The annoying thing about Klavier is that a ton of things happen to him that could have made him interesting. His best friend turning out to be a murderer, his brother turning out to be a murderer, his first major victory turning out to be a fraud...yet he just sorta ignores all that. The feeling I get is that I'm watching the movie version of a book and thinking "this character was probably great in the book before they had to cut most of his development." Except this is the original version.
