## Personality

 —Hannah Josephine Campbell

Theodore has a very complex personality due to a series of tragic events that occurred throughout his lifetime. He was once a cheerful, empathetic, and warm-hearted kid who used to play with his half-brother. At the age of seven, his father suddenly put an order to isolate him and granted an arrest warrant against his mother. The isolation affected him as he couldn’t leave the back palace. Later he heard the news about his mother’s execution, and this made his hatred towards his father thrive, this also made him grow to become cold and stoic.

Ever since his mother died, Theodore was reluctant to publicly show his emotions. His expression, which almost never changes, makes him difficult to approach, and this leads to not so many people wanting to be his close friends. They only came to him for something, like government matters or anything to make their life easier.

Theodore himself was known to be stubborn during his training in the Knights Order. He would practice from sunrise until the sky darkened. Even if Lucas persuaded him to stop, he would still do it the next day.

Theodore was also known to be cruel and merciless on the battlefield. Anything that interferes with his goals will be eliminated on the spot. He could even kill 100 troops on his own.

However, Theodore can also be gentle and kind. Many people from the occupied kingdoms of the Azeroth Empire felt relieved by his presence. That is because he will let his vassals do something to improve their lives in a slump, he even let the poor people join the training and become his private knights. Theodore also adopted two children whose parents died during the war.

However, in the eyes of the people living in the main region of the Azeroth Empire, Grand Duke Habsburg (Theodore) was greatly feared. There are rumours that he does not hesitate to kill those who interfere with his plans or that he is a madman who has no fear of the Emperor.
