Do you think he became those things after he sold it? Like some magic trick where the very second it happened he became a bad person. No, he was surely those things before, just hadn’t shown it publicity.
I do think there’s a possibility of power going to people’s heads, allowing people to run in idea-reinforcing circles, and eliminating doubt of competing worldviews.
I do recall that he talked about feeling incredibly alienated after the sale, because people only wanted to talk to him, for his money. He couldn’t make genuine connections. That kind of thing really fucks with you, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it exacerbated existing problems.
But also, like… Look at the Villagers. They deal in commerce, have but noses, and are protected by golems. He was always a shithead. Being a rich shithead only made him worse
