* BloodKnight: Pyrrhus's lust for battle is the cause of many of his problems.
--> '''(Intro to "Pyrrhic Victories"):''' ''Pyrrhus now neither had enemies to fight, nor pressing disputes to manage. It was the first period of prolonged peace that he had experienced in many years, and he hated every minute of it. Men like him are built for war, and they start to break down come peacetime. Pyrrhus was looking for any excuse to rally his men again.''


Added DiffLines:

* IJustWantToBeSpecial:
** In the intro to "A Second Alexander", Pyrrhus tells Cineas that the one thing that makes life worth living is the legacy left behind.
--> ''"For him, carving a legacy is the one thing that truly gives life meaning. He says, 'a man must fight unrelentingly to become stronger than all others, until he finds himself alone on the throne of the world - just as Alexander did."''
** After his defeat at the end of "Sisyphus", he tells Cineas that despite the odds placed on him, [[{{Determinator}} he refuses to give up]]:

Crosswicking from Age Of Empires II Trajan

Added DiffLines:

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Discussed by Trajan himself in his deathbed. He wonders, after leaving a bar too highly raised, if he's Rome's savior or its doom-bringer.
--> ''"Yet, at the same time, doubt and dread gnaw at me. Now that I have raised the bar, others will try and match it and their vain ambition, conceit, and impossible expectations could drag Rome towards the same familiar decline from which I rescued it. Was I Rome's savior, or its doom?"''
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: Trajan knows very well that leading an empire like Rome requires a lot of responsability, something he makes clear in the intro to "Roman Repute".
