I think this page is mostly for questions you want to ask Hiccup, but in a short answer, yes. That old man is intentionally antagonistic towards me, and more importantly, towards Hiccup. His plot to have us captured by the Oucasts was cruel and personal. I actually had my hopes up, and then it turns out that everything was just set up as a trap. Yes, I really, really dislike that old man!
