== Personality ==
Julius is best characterized as mild mannered. He does his best to maintain his cool and composure and tends to rise up above the chaos and weirdness of Zack and Cloud, as seen in the episode The Troubles. A character flaw Julius suffers from is laziness. As commented on frequently by Zack, Julius rarely trains or hone his abilities. He also prefers not to exert himself, leading Zack to insult him on the topic daily. This leads to a feud and rivalry between the two. Another flaw he suffers from is lack of confidence and low self-esteem, which holds him back because he feels that he isn't fit to be team leader.
As the series progresses, however, Julius seems to shed his laziness for the most part. After realizing his flaws in No Rest for the Lazy, he vows to put his work first. As for his lack of self-confidence, he learns to accept himself a little bit more at the end of The New Girls.
As a child, Julius was very timid and meek.
