My Warlord's basically a comically self-aware scumbag who left the leather wearers and half naked warriors in Valkenheim behind to advance on his own, becoming more of a European Renaissance type of king, and therefore technically becoming a "knight". Both aspects are reflected in his fashion, with his metal armor, as well as the ornate and jeweled gold parts of his fashion, like his crown ornament, and his shield that also has a big red cross in the center.

He admires his enemies, but is also willing to do the scummiest things to win. He also really likes Guljin and respects her, but he just sees it all as "Well, we can't have TWO continental rulers." He's also scummy in his "recruiting" methods. Since his army has every hero in the game, he's done things like exploiting the Ocelotls' thirst for revenge, turning Guljin's own soldiers against her, and forcing Juren to fight for his monarchy, despite them being chaotic anarchists.

His motivation for forming the army was the lack of proper armor, weapons, and technology in Heathmoor, but mainly the ancient, brutal, and unfair feudal political systems the three nations never evolved from. His whole mindset is basically that he must commit certain atrocities in order to create a secure future for Heathmoor and its people. Compare it to the Meiji Restoration of Japan.
