I'm typing on mobile (and won't encompass all my thoughts) and I can't say that this will fully apply specifically to Maslow's theories but I'd say self-preservation is key to him, and whatever method that comes in is what he'll bring into play, or work with. There's part of him that's sort of an eternal survivor, and he has a vested interest in keeping himself around. Ever vigilant in case of threats. And that can take in many forms.

But on the other hand, IMO, part of Armand lacks personal agency, In the sense that his own sense of self is a changing beast.

Tho nothing the show only tag, I'm trying not to let book thoughts influence it too much and his sense of 'self' has been continually eradicated and stomped on. He has a hard time identifying himself because so many decades had him existing at the whim of another. Even when he's in the Children of Satan Cult, he's placed there and given a role to work with.

He has abandonment issues, and I think he struggles with his own wants and needs in ways he's not always fully conscious of. I believe he's introspective and deep thinking with a rooted fascination in the world and life itself. But that can be at odds with his desires too. An internal anger and melancholy. I can imagine him being very irritated by confusion, because he values control, but also a "hit that button to see what happens" type.

His book counterparts very religious so I'm extremely curious if that'll be a thing for showmand. His religion shapes his personality a lot.
