All about one of my characters: Usor'An (Appearance)

Charistmatic and strict. Terrible and mighty. Clever and honorable. Brutal and powerful. Usor'An is the current king of the demons and rules the demonic nation which is on Jindaria. The demonic nation is the main source of the problems in the series and are the main antagonists (there are others, but the demons are the worst). Usor'An fills the role of monarch and military commander as did many real world leaders.
He has a very militant personality as do many villains. He is a very intelligent man who takes a good long look at something before acting. His charistmatic personality is one of his greatest strengths and weaknesses. He is an excellent leader of his people, but he is also very concerned about his impression on others. He worries about "losing his honor" and can sometimes be driven into spasms of rage if things aren't going the way he wants them to. In other words, his massive ego can slow him down, and it does throughout book 2. Usor'An isn't crazy, he is just too concerned about how he appears. He's more than willing to delay an important attack just so he can arrange to lead the army personally (as he does in book 3).
Usor'An is very clever and can arrange elaborate plots to defeat his enemies from behind the scenes (as he does in book 1). He rigidly adheres to law because he would look poor in the eyes of others if he didn't. He is somewhat chivalrous in his upholding of the laws and wouldn't break a promise even if it compromised one of his plans.
While he may be a minor character in book 1, he is the main villain in the other two books. He fights with a huge war hammer and a small sword.
