While perceived as brutal and reckless, he was fundamentally compassionate and idealistic, prioritizing the freedom and liberation of slaves. He believed in the separation of fish-men and humans, yet he didn't discriminate against humans in slavery, freeing them all from the World Nobles. His deathbed revealed a deep-seated hatred for humans after experiencing their "madness" as a slave, yet he also acknowledged the validity of Queen Otohime's desire for interspecies cooperation.
