* BenevolentBoss: Zigzagged. Vainqueur cows his minions by threatening to eat them if they fail to keep up with his demands. He's often pushy and forces them to work on incredibly difficult tasks and does very little in the actual "leading" except to marshal them to battle. Despite this, he considers his minions an extension of his hoard and will defend them with his life. He also rewards good service and genuinely believes the best of his most capable minions, particularly Victor, whom Vainqueur has the utmost faith in. In fact, Vainqueur comes to consider Victor the crown jewel of his hoard. So he demands Victor to become immortal so Vainqueur can keep him forever.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: Victor's good-ness is a bit debatable, but he's certainly a much nicer person than you would expect from someone who wears black spiked armour and harvests the souls of his fallen enemies for power.

* BenevolentBoss: For all his faults, Victor is consistently nice to the other minions, particularly the Kobold Rangers. He goes out of his way to ensure their well-being and is heartbroken when Yellow and Blue die, resolving to take up necromancy to resurrect them.



* DarkIsNotEvil: While he's not quite "good", Victor is consistently nicer than most of the enemies he faces while wielding sinister dark powers like necromancy and curses against his foes.



* GuileHero: While he can fight, battle is not Victor's strongest suit. Most of his successes come down to convincing Vainqueur to use his power productively while striking deals and bargains for the sake of maximizing Vainqueur's wealth and resources.

Added DiffLines:

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: As a dragon, Vainqueur cannot really be measured in "good" or "evil". All he cares about is feeding himself, amassing more wealth for his hoard, and kidnapping princesses. Manlings are just food to thim, so it's perfectly natural for him to pop a few as a snack or deal with someone who annoys him. But while he doesn't care about collateral damage, he does fulfill his end of any bargains he makes and expects to be compensated for his efforts.


Added DiffLines:

* EnlightenedSelfInterest: After discovering how the System can make him even more money to add to his hoard, Vainqueur becomes an adventurer fighting evil faeries and demons, renovating villages, and killing bandits. It's not out of any sense of "kindness", but instead to gain levels to increase the size of his hoard so he can brag about it to the other dragons.

* BrainsAndBrawn: He's the brains to Vainqueur's brawn. While Vainqueur is one of the most powerful entities around, his intelligence stat is a paltry 14 even after he starts LevelGrinding. Victor does his best to steer Vainqueur's greed and ego in a more favorable direction for the dragon's benefit and that of others.


Added DiffLines:

* HappinessInSlavery: Victor is more or less stuck being Vainqueur's lackey for the rest of his days. But given how he now has significant authority, a plethora of new perks, and is protected by one of the most powerful entities around. He admits that he can get used to this and that it's a big step up for him compared to when he first got thrown into the world and forced to become a thief.

* {{Expy}}: Victor's snarky personality, down-on-his-luck backstory, and fraught relationship with an incredibly powerful (and troublesome) entity make him a clear ShoutOut to Kazuma from ''Literature/KonoSuba''. The webcomic adaptation even gives him the same hair and eye color along with similar clothes.

* StrawVegetarian: She's the dragon equivalent of a vegetarian: a "cattletarian," meaning she only eats non-speaking animals and cattle on the grounds that sentient beings have souls too, and has no problem commenting on the actions of non-cattletarian dragons. But upon seeing a ''speaking'' cow demon, she says "A talking cow? It’s grey enough not to count for my regime!" and enthusiastically claims dibs on eating it. She also shares the majority opinion amongst dragons that elves aren't people, so she's totally fine with eating them.

* BerserkButton: Vainqueur literally gains the Berserk status after [[spoiler:Furibon transmutes his gold to lead]].
* BoxingBattler: In Ch. 51, When Vainqueur realizes the giant golem he is fighting is immune to almost all his draconic abilities, he gets up on his hind legs, activates his unarmed combat skill, and dismantles the golem through boxing. Even the System is so impressed that it calls the fight 'beeping awesome' and awards him eleven levels for that one fight.
* TheDitz: Vainqueur comes off as this most of the time, in a mix of Intelligence being his DumpStat, an utter lack of common sense, and being so powerful that he doesn't need to think leads to him acting very, very dim.
* DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm: Being utterly arrogant, Vainqueur never realizes when Victor is back sassing him, which Victor takes full advantage of for stress relief. Until Vainqueur gains more Intelligence points...

* MonsterAdventurers: For a different reason from usual. Vainqueur does not feel the need to move up the food chain.
