Despite viewing himself as charming, a recurring situation involving Flynn includes the thief being looked down upon by other characters (such as the Pub Thugs or the palace guards) who would often perform acts that would purposely result in Rider's humiliation, such as having the portraits of his 'Wanted' poster be depicted with cartoonishly large or unattractive noses, much to his annoyance. Even so, they managed to form a meaningful partnership, and eventual friendship initially for the sake of Rapunzel, though they were shown to have become fond of one another over time. He has a peculiar relationship with the palace horse, Maximus, who he constantly finds himself at odds with throughout the film, being that they were highly different on the moral spectrum at the start of the film. He is something of a gentleman thief and acts polite even to those he betrays.Īs mentioned above, Flynn is also rather comedic, whether it's intentional or not. Despite these antagonistic traits, Flynn viewed such acts as mere means to boost his ego which, at the start of the film, was comedically inflated, to the point where he would rely on his supposed charisma to sneak his way out of a potentially dangerous situation. He unabashedly committed acts of thievery on the royal family of Corona, all to achieve a selfish lifelong goal of becoming as wealthy as humanly possible. When first introduced, Flynn is presented as arrogant, backstabbing, and trouble-making. The two are currently living happily ever after. Flynn fell completely in love with the lost princess and helped her reunite with her parents and reclaim her throne.Įugene went back to his birth name, stopped thieving, and married Rapunzel a few years later. As Flynn cast aside his cares for treasure and solitude he realized his old dream had been replaced by a new one. As he spent time with her, he gained a respect for the headstrong young lady that became strong affection and caring. When Flynn met the lonesome girl in a remote tower, he was quite irritated to be coerced into taking her to see the Festival of Lights at the kingdom so that he could get back a valuable stolen tiara she had hidden from him. The two were eventually engaged, but Flynn created a bitter enemy in his employer when he left Stalyan at the altar.Įverything Flynn ever wanted, however, quickly lost its appeal in the days he met Rapunzel. Being drawn in more and more by his new ambition and becoming more and more aloof from the people around him, Flynn sought a solitary life of money and freedom, far away.Īpart from Lance (with whom he eventually lost contact), Flynn formed partnerships with other criminals, one of which being a ruthless kingpin known as 'the Baron.' During their alliance, Flynn developed a relationship with the Baron's daughter, Stalyan. He would also plunder regions well beyond Corona, such as Italy, where he learned to speak Italian. With Lance by his side, Flynn became one of the most infamous thieves in all of Corona, making enemies at nearly every port. Eugene eventually ventured out with Arnwaldo-now known as Lance Strongbow-and grew up into a dashing swashbuckler and gifted horseman under an alias taken from his childhood hero: Flynn Rider. The more Eugene read it, the more he dreamed of a more audacious lifestyle and decided to break out of his orphan upbringing. His only companion at the time was his lifelong friend, Arnwaldo Schnitz.Įvery night, Eugene would read 'The Tales of Flynnigan Rider', stories of a rich and dashing swashbuckler who had an abundance of thrilling adventures wherever he went.

In the meantime, Eugene spent all his days with his fellow orphans. Eugene remained hopeful that once they did, they would return to the orphanage and take him back. He grew up believing that his parents were fearless adventurers traveling the world to make names for themselves. Eugene never knew the truth of his lineage.

King Edmund ordered for a kingdom-wide evacuation to protect his subjects from the opal's destructive power-including Eugene, who was escorted out of the kingdom by a servant woman and later placed in an orphanage. During Eugene's infancy, the kingdom was corrupted by a powerful opal that threatened to destroy the land. Eugene Fitzherbert was born to King Edmund and his wife as Horace.
