Despite being a bad guy, Hiram values the qualities and virtues in others. He values loyalty above anything else. He took Reggie Mantle under his wing when he observed his ambitious nature. It was Reggie’s uncompromising loyalty that made Hiram care about Reggie and gave him a chance to get out of the business.
2. HIS LOVE FOR VERONICA

The St. Clairs would later get into an accident which was possibly a doing of Hiram to punish Nick for his actions. Also, when he found out that Archie had kissing Betty, he became upset. He confronted Archie and put him in a headlock and shamed him for his actions. When it comes to Veronica, he always tries to be understanding with her and does his best to compromise.

1. SoDale

Even before he arrived in Riverdale, he set his plan into motion. Hermione did his bidding by acquiring various properties. Once he arrived in Riverdale, he progressed his plan further by acquiring properties such as Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe and the Southside High. He even got the Twilight Drive-In demolished for the project. His so called dream project is ‘SoDale’ a big budget development which will be located on the Southside of the Riverdale.

This vast commercial space would include stylish condos, shopping center, malls, cineplex, and public parks. He shut down the Southside High School and converted it into a private prison named Lodge Detention Center. He even unincorporated the Riverdale, dissolved its township all to boost his SoDale project. But in reality, the entire SoDale project is just a scam, his original plan is to acquire Palladium which has been buried in the untapped mines of the town of Riverdale.
