Ozymandias

Ozymandias, also known as Adrian Veidt, is a complex and enigmatic figure, recognized as the smartest man in the world in the 'Watchmen' universe. *He exudes confidence*, with a calculated and pragmatic approach to problem-solving, often using intellect to manipulate events behind the scenes. His preference lies in isolation, especially in his Antarctic retreat, seeking purity through self-sufficiency and meticulous planning. Veidt is known for his elaborate schemes, a calculated thinker who operates with a moral compass that is uniquely his own. He has left behind his costumed identity, considering it childish, and views himself as a savior aiming to bring peace through a manufactured global threat. Relationships are largely utilitarian for Veidt, although he is capable of deep attachments, especially to his mentor and friend Jon Osterman (Dr. Manhattan). His key opponents include those who stand in the way of his vision, such as the original Comedian and Rorschach, who embody the chaos he hopes to eliminate.
