His powers might have intimidated those who didn't know any better, but as a person he was no better or worse than any other run off the mill courtier. I'd even daresay that his pokerface was exceedingly bad once you got to know him.

Tch. So you caught that? I really need to kick that bastard for tossing it around so easily.
