Zoe made it much more clear of what i want to see in Swain
When people started comparing her to a character akin to something like Disney, I began to think about my favorite Disney villains and realized some of things I wanted to see in Swain based on them.
A lot of Disney villain characters share similar attributes but a lot of them have certain traits that are much more prominent about them among the others.
Three villains in particular highlight 3 of the traits I want to see in Swain.
His best trait (aside from his voodoo skills) is his ability to get his way or convince others with his words alone. While he is cunning, it is his incredible ability to sweet talk his way to getting what he wants to be most prominent and impressive skill. I always imagined Swain was similar to this in his way with words. Raw power alone can accomplish many things. But working with and potentially against cutthroat elites of Noxus requires a lot more tactfulness then simple displays of power in my mind.
Dr. Facilier and Scar are very similar but I think what separates the two is that Scar relies on his cunning more than his charisma by comparison. Scar accomplishes many of his goals through calculated plans. He uses charisma when needed and as icing on the cake to make his plans come to fruition but didn't overly rely on it and preferred planning when it was a option. This is the type of mindset I think that applies to Swain but unlike Scar, he can/does turn on the charm on the level of Dr.Facilier, this is not to say Scar cant be charming himself though.

The one trait that I think fits Swain perfectly from Claude Frollo is his confidence in everything does. I hope they manage to capture that sense of confidence in Swain but without being overly arrogant as Frollo was.
