{{{Defining}}}

{{{Significant}}}

OBSESSION: Lezard Valeth has a singular driving goal: To gain the hand of Lenneth Valkyrie. To do this, he is willing to break any taboo, arrange the deaths of good and innocent people, and even commit war upon the gods themselves in his own way. Those who know of his driving goal can likely use it to manipulate him, though his response could be quite violent if he finds out he has been tricked.

HUBRIS: Supreme confidence can be a terrifying trait. Lezard is possessed of such, and believes that his success is all but inevitable. All he needs to do is put the pieces into place and everything will move as he wishes. It takes a special kind of personality to believe that one can not only match, but defeat the gods of one's world. So far, he has been attentive enough to maintain this stance, but how long will it last against the much broader expanse of the Multiverse?

IF TO SERVE THIS PURPOSE I SHALL BE DESPISED: Lezard Valeth has trafficked in dark power for some time, and his actions and behaviors are an abomination to the gods. Though he can use holy magics with no problems, his defenses against such are much lower, having a greater effect upon him than other types.

ICONOCLAST: To Lezard, a god is nothing more than a being who has had the will or luck to gain access to immense power. Commensurate with his plan, he intends to prove this fact by becoming a 'god' himself, through whatever means are necessary in order to gain the stature required to achieve his goals. Those gods who are actively harmful to their followers or remain distant particularly prick his cynical nature, but even beneficent gods would do little to convince him otherwise.

ALWAYS LOOK OUT FOR NUMBER ONE: When all else is done, Lezard is most interested in his own power and advancement. The gods are simply another obstacle to that goal. Even his obsession with Lenneth is a twisted attempt to justify his advancement and position. His association with the Confederacy is heavily to his benefit as well, as his work with them protects him from the Union. One can expect him to generally act to preserve himself first and his allies second, unless doing such directly threatens something of essential importance to his goals.
