* AmbitionisEvil: [[spoiler:The reason for his turning to [[LovecraftianSuperpower Wischtech]] magic and pursuing a civil war against his own father is all to fulfill his goals. Before that, he killed Ascherit because the latter was more competent to the point where he would probably be considered for the throne before Glenn.]]



* TheAtoner: If his support of Glenn is anything to go by.

to:

* AffablyEvil: He's the most polite of the "heroes" and seems to bear little malice towards Koinzell, to the point of crying while trying to kill the latter. Koinzell himself admits that Ischudien's betrayal was less expected than the others.
* TheAtoner: If his support of Glenn is anything to go by. Subverted in that he's willing to kill [[spoiler:Ascherit]] again for the sake of Glenn's ambitions.

* [[spoiler:TheDragon: He's Glenn's.TheDragon: [[spoiler:He works directly under Glenn and encourages his AmbitionIsEvil tendencies.]]



* OnlySaneMan: At least from what we've seen of him so far, he's ''waaaay'' more put together than the rest of the heroes sans perhaps Glenn. This is probably one of the main reasons why [[spoiler: he is the only hero Ascherit hasn't been able to take a shot at yet.]]

This is probably one of the main reasons why [[spoiler: he is the only hero Ascherit hasn't been able to take a shot at yet.]]]] This is subverted when he reveals that he sees Glenn's increasingly ambitious nature as a good thing, to the point where he's proud of Glenn for being willing to sacrifice Ascherit for his own gain.




to:

* SkewedPriorities: When he first started out as Glenn's retainer, he hated the latter for being a spoiled LazyBum. After he sees how Glenn's envy of Ascherit drove him to improve himself, he considered his master's ruthless ambition to be a good thing rather than something that could negatively affect his future rule.

* {{Shotacon}}: She's attracted to Koinzell from the moment she sees him, and offers him passage in exchange for sleeping with her. While they're interrupted the first time, chapter 9 has her asking him to "Finish what (he) started", which he does.



* {{Shotacon}}: The fake Gustav. Played for {{Squick}} rather than arousal though.

To list the ways: he [[spoiler:wields Ascherit's old sword, he inherits the title of Blatt Meister, after 'killing' Koinzell, a title which Ascherit himself used to hold, and other than Ascherit/Koinzell himself, he is the only person who is capable of using 'Black Wing' in the entire world. Hell, Ikfes even LOOKS almost identical to how Ascherit did twenty years ago.]]

* KickTheDog: He was a jerk when he was younger, but convincing the other 'heroes' to murder the Lances of Betrayal, (which included Kfer, who had a pregnant wife back home, and Klentel and Archeriit, who were about maybe about twelve and fifteen, respectively) was when he ''really'' showed the kind of man he is. Even worse, this was right after the lances had saved the country, after Glenn and the other heroes had abandoned them. Also, he could have just said the four of them were killed fighting Wischtech. He and the other heroes really didn't ''need'' to brand them traitors to the empire, implying this was done purely out of spite.

Badass is no longer a trope.


* BadAss
* BerserkButton: Harming innocent people in front of him is a bad idea. So is mentioning how great the Seven Heroes are, or slandering the Lances of Betrayal.



* {{Badass}}: Not that she was incapable to start with, but Koinzell takes her on as a pupil and she is more and more able to to keep up with him as the series goes on, which is one ''hell'' of an accomplishment.



* BadAss: Was able to hold his own against a subterranean giant that even Koinzell had trouble with.



* {{Badass}}
* BerserkButton: Kfer ''loses it'' when Glenn tries to convince him to abandon the other lances by telling him that Gustav and Klentel are low-born and therefore have no responsibilities to live for, and that Ascheriit is just some nobody who would always overshadow him.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Subverted, as Glenn's claims that 'The Seven Heroes' seeing to the peace and stability of the empire and the future prosperity of its citizens as a means of atonement makes sense on the surface... [[ManipulativeBastard but he only ever uses it in a context which seems to justify]] Ascherit not [[AssholeVictim (rightfully)]] murdering them all, or as a justification for not manning up and coming clean, forfeiting everything in the process. Ascherit sees the logic of the argument and even ''agrees'' with it, but several other character repeatedly point out to him that there wouldn't ''be'' any war or turmoil in the empire if it wasn't for 'The Seven Heroes' themselves, whether through blatantly incompetent leadership, [[TheCaligula outright corruption,]] or having outright caused that instability in the first place. (i.e. murdering Kfer, labeling him a traitor, and delegitimizing the House of Jebnaress, directly inciting all the violence in the region that came afterwards) He really just seems to be using it as a convenient argument.
