** Dracone's honor constantly conflicted with his choice to be on the side of Evulz is a major plot point, [[{{Deconstruction}} highlighting how for all of his attempts to do so otherwise, that honor is fundamentally opposite and in conflict with the evil ideology Evulz embodies.]] Instead of coming off as a noble being who happens to be on the wrong side, he instead comes off as an indecisive and conflicted fool trying to have things both ways, and in the process only causing problems for both his enemies and his allies. Eventually, the discord and internal conflict makes it clear that he ''must'' choose what really matters to him; his loyalty to the Emperor and their mission, or his own ideals.
