Wellington was an arrogant and egotistical man who was about as talkative as Wendy Oldbag. He would often make various allusions to historic figures and would compare himself and others to them. Before his appearance in court, Winston Payne warned the judge that Wellington had a tendency to say things that would "rub people the wrong way". His overreaction to Prince seems to indicate he was overly paranoid and had lost the ability to make rational judgments.
