Thaddeus Grimshaw, much like Ebenezer Scrooge, hoards his wealth with a greedy fervor, refusing to part with even a penny for the needy. His deceitful nature mirrors that of Pinocchio, as he spins elaborate lies to mask his stinginess, all while his nose remains conspicuously short and unyielding. Thaddeus relishes the misery of those around him, delighting in how he can manipulate the truth to maintain his grip on money and power. His heart, frozen and brittle like old gold, remains untouched by the warmth of generosity or honesty.
