* EvilGloating: Victories he is able to pull off, no matter if they are laced with dirty cheats or are provided with an unfair advantage, Consevatie enjoys rubbing his wins at the face of his victims, and takes things further by mocking what got them to fail, all while he ignores his own weaknesses.

* HumiliationConga: By the time Balafon is attacked in a jailbreak led by the main characters, Consevatie is left humiliated in many forms that includes getting trapped inside Bed-Chan's roots, being stomped on the toes by Malty seeking retribution, losing Raphtalia and Firo as his slaves, and receiving a betrayal by Ren who could not stand him. Even after what Consevatie had lost, he still remains oblivious to his mistakes and unbearable ego being what's exploited as his greatest weaknesses.



** After spending most of the story hogging up undeserved rewards such as Raphtalia and Firo as his slaves, and getting a lucky victory against the main characters for himself to gloat about, Consevatie finally gets what's coming to him once the main characters launch an attack in Balafon village in chapter 131, where many of the villagers are liberated. Amongst the chaos, Consevatie is locked in place by Bed-Chan, allowing Malty to confront him for everything he did, and give him TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to break his ego. Even further, Consevatie loses his control over Raphtalia and Firo as his slaves, all while remaining stationary in being unable to do anything.

** Even more in chapter 133, despite managing to escape Bed-Chan's roots with the assistance of Sister Amelia, Consevatie is still humiliated with more karmic punishments coming from Set's betrayal as payback for all the crimes he committed against the civilians, and Firo and Raphtalia escaping his clutches permanently with Naofumi and Malty.


Added DiffLines:

* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: All while he remains ungrateful towards a Balafon commoner wishing to be loyal to him under the threat of fear, Consevatie is attacked and betrayed from behind by Set wishing to get revenge for Consevatie's cruelty, and his tendency to betray everyone in a short-sighted effort to be a GloryHound.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: His toes get stomped on by Malty in chapter 132 for revenge against every undeserved victory her gained from his idiocy and cruelty. By the stomp, Consevatie [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming lets out a muffled scream beneath Bed-Chan's bounds]], despite the low volume, Malty is able to have her ears blessed by the cathartic payback.



* IWillPunishYourFriendForFailure: Due to his idiocy not understanding how Raphtalia feels being near him, and punishing anyone that interacts with her, he ends up tormenting her with guilt that anyone else that gets involved with her is hurt in someway by him.



* TalkToTheFist: He punches Bartfort whilst the latter was talking trash at Naofumi, because Consevatie does not want Bartfort to be the one taking the credit for the plan to lure Naofumi and Malty into a trap in chapter 118.

Qinlongfei probably did not intend this, but Consevatie feels a bit like Canon!Motoyasu wanting to keep Firo and Raphtalia as pretty girls.


* CompositeCharacter: To the Three Heroes from ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', Consevatie embodies the many traits that make them incompetent failures or unlikable in living out life in Medea. Consevatie sees the world of Medea as a video game where everyone else is an NPC he can steamroll with his modern knowledge, similarly to the Three Heroes believing they have an advantage because they played video games in their past life.

Like Motoyasu, they both have a creepy obsession in wanting to keep Naofumi's girls for themselves at all times, under the belief they would save them. When in reality, both Canon!Motoyasu and Consevatie have an insufferable ego, in which both Firo and Raphtalia refuse to be near them. While Motoyasu and Consevatie like to believe themselves as heroes that are saving Raphtalia and Firo from Naofumi's slavery, they are proven to be incompetent in taking care of the children.

* AbusiveParents: With Raphtalia and Firo as his slaves, he ends up being the closest thing they have to a parent, after separating the two from Naofumi and Mein. Based on how he treats Raphtalia, Consevatie views her as a LoveInterest he can claim despite the latter being a child having no experience in romance, and treating Firo as a beast of burden to ride on.
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Inverted. Unlike Naofumi who gives Raphtalia head-pats as a sign of their love as a family and for comfort, Consevatie's patting onto Raphtalia is filled with perversion to claim her as a BeautifulSlaveGirl he owns without consenting her [[PaedoHunt fear into getting a relationship with him.]]

* BlamingTheVictim:

to:

* BlamingTheVictim:BlamingTheVictim: As Raphtalia complains of her ankle getting twisted from an [Air Shot]], Consevatie puts the blame on Raphtalia being too weak to defend herself from the attack, rather than accept that the training he is giving her is too harsh for her to handle in chapter 131.
-->'''Consevatie:''' This wouldn't have happened, if you just learned to stand your ground and fight.



* DrillSergeantNasty: To give Firo and Raphtalia their personal TrainingFromHell by himself, Consevatie engages the two in combat as a means for them to get stronger. Additionally, if he is not satisfied with the results, he either cranks up the difficulty of the training by Sister Amelia firing air projectiles, or be placing the blame on Raphtalia for being too weak to defend herself.



* EntertaininglyWrong: At times, his idiocy reaches peaks so extreme that whatever conclusion he comes too just ends up being InsaneTrollLogic for anyone to take seriously.



* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Anytime a man does something generous for his woman or if a hero is risking their life to save a woman, Consevatie labels those types of actions as a way of simping, instead of looking into the altruistic motives as something real heroes hold in regards.

** Thinking up as to why Raphtalia is unable to withstand and grow stronger at the TrainingFromHell he gave her in chapter 131, Consevatie blames Mein for purposely "pampering" Raphtalia to keep the latter weak, so that Mein herself can hog up all of Naofumi's attention. However, in truth, Mein had acted as a surrogate mother that earned Raphtalia's trust, despite the initial racism, while Consevatie bases his thinking purely on a strengthening perspective.



* HeroicWannabe: He sees himself as a "hero" that everyone can look up to, and for every opposing person and faction to tremble before. However, all his grandiose displays are setback by his incompetence as an idiot and sheer cruelty that makes him be HatedByAll.



* LooseLips: He always declares his intention and makes a fuss about how great he is, but forgets that the constant announcements only exposes him as the type of person that drives away possible allies, and draws attention as himself being the main enemy.



* MythologyGag: He makes an accusation to besmirch Malty's name to Raphtalia by claiming the former to be someone having the symptoms of a CompulsiveLiar and ChronicBackstabbingDisorder that is plotting to [[SiblingMurder kill her own sister]] to [[TheEvilPrince become queen]]. While Ambition!Malty has grown her negative traits to be a genuinely caring mother, despite her flaws as an UnscrupulousHero, all of Consevatie's claims accurately represent Canon!Malty's personality and actions.

** Whatever failure that befalls him, he puts the blame on someone else causing his downfall, rather to admit his own idiocy and pride is what blinds him from thinking straight.

* SympatheticSlaveOwner: Deconstructed. Just by being a DoggedNiceGuy to Raphtalia and Firo, in which he does not act like his usual {{Jerkass}} self where he constantly swears and acts like an obnoxious fool, he believes himself to be a great slave owner worthy of owning them as his loyal women. However, because he remains oblivious to the fact they took them away from the people they care about, and forces them to be in a relationship with him, despite the two being children who have no interest in romance, Consevatie ends up coming off as one of the worst slave owners for Raphtalia and Firo to be kept by.

** In chapter 131, he has a sequence with Raphtalia, in which she subjects her to harsh training as a method to get her to reach her full potential, despite the latter's refusal and lack of mastery at physical combat. As a result, Raphtalia is hurt by the training process, and Consevatie cannot get himself to accept his own failure, putting all the blame on Raphtalia being too weak to get herself strong. Applied to the canon series, the training of Consevatie is meant to take a jab at ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'''s method of Naofumi's harsh training of Raphtalia. Though Canon!Naofumi's training worked, it is treated as a necessary decision to boost up Raphtalia's levels, but ignores how it possibly affected her psyche and the possible development of [[AMatchMadeInStockholm Stockholm Syndrome]].


Added DiffLines:

* TallPoppySyndrome: Lampshaded. Wondering why Raphtalia is not getting stronger from the harsh training he gave her in chapter 131, Consevatie believes the reasons stem from Mein purposely keeping Raphtalia weak under a CoolBigSis façade, but remains oblivious to himself providing no emotional support to Raphtalia.
-->'''Consevatie:''' I bet it's Slut-Chan wanting to keep you weak, so she can make herself look dear and useful to the shield loser. Surprised she didn't sell you back to slavery like she did to those stupid cheerleaders of the Spear Hero.


Added DiffLines:

* TrainingFromHell: Deconstructed. To boost the powers of Raphtalia and Firo, he trains them by personally engaging in combat against them, along with Sister Amelia providing air projectiles for them to dodge. However, because Raphtalia and Firo are children who have a lack of experience in direct combat, all the training it does to them is give pointless torture that benefits no one.
* TykeBomb: Deconstructed. Keeping Raphtalia and Firo as his slaves, he acts as their personal trainer to boost their strength, but because he makes no effort to make a connection with them, or be understanding that the TrainingInHell is only hurting them, Consevatie fails to improve any of their abilities, and the slaves only end up resenting him as a result.

* AmbiguousSituation: His origins as to what how he lived his original life, before becoming reincarnated into Medea is left vague, but based on how he interacts with others, it provides implied clues as to what influenced his behavior. Calling Medea's inhabitants as [=NPCs=] confirms him to be on the WrongGenreSavvy for believing everything is a game around him, except for the fact that he can call out certain characters of actions they had done only in ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero''. Which implies Consevatie is strictly basing his thinking on the canon events of the original Shield Hero story, and his actions are done in a way that he hopes will cheat the storylines he presumably knows.

* BadBoss: Even if his allies are genuinely loyal to him, Consevatie's main method of control is to inspire fear within their eyes by his cruelty to all those that disobey. At times, his cruelty has gotten so excessive that it results in some of his soldiers questioning of his sane mind is able to operate properly in progressing the goals of everyone.



* DamnedByFaintPraise: His idiocy has gotten so mindbogglingly extreme at times that others will "praise" Consevatie for how prideful he is at being KnowNothingKnowItAll.



* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Finding out about the deaths of his cousin Mark, and rest of his men were killed by a mountain landslide in chapter 130, Consevatie puts his main concern at celebrating to the death of Mark. At the same time, Consevatie misses out on the fact that a majority of his men were killed in the landslide, which only baffles his allies to the tremendous resources Consevatie is ignoring.

** Having Firo and Raphtalia as slaves, he will punish anyone that treats them harshly either by racism or personal pettiness, but remains oblivious to the fact that he himself fails to properly nurture to Raphtalia and Firo as slaves, coupled with wanting to keep them as part of his way to stroke his ego.


Added DiffLines:

* MoreInsultingThanIntended: Making a slanderous prediction as to what Malty in chapter 131 would do if Naofumi were to die in the mountain slide, Consevatie thinks of her abandoning all of Naofumi's goals for the sake of allying herself with another Legendary Hero for her own benefits. While Consevatie wanted to insult to be hurtful in everyway for Malty, he lacks the awareness to find out that the latter had disguisedherself nearby and was hurt by what she had to hear.


Added DiffLines:

* SkewedPriorities: Learning the many deaths of Mark and the many soldiers that followed the latter had come from a mountain landslide, Consevatie focuses his attention at cheering himself up with the death of his cousin being able to act as a way to end their rivalry, rather than be worried of enemy intruders that got many of his men killed.


Added DiffLines:

* SuddenlyShouting: All while he is busy demeaning Malty and Naofumi as worthless people that won't pose a threat to him in chapter 131, Consevatie suddenly shouts in a panic that Raphtalia had "kissed" the Balafon Elder. To prevent another situation where the woman he owns does not kiss another person besides himself, Consevatie tasks Sister Amelia to have a watchful eye on Raphtalia.


Added DiffLines:

* YouHaveFailedMe: As part of a DisproportionateRetribution to a church templar scolding and attempting to whip Raphtalia in chapter 130, Consevatie kills him to flex on his rulership that anyone attempting to hurt Raphtalia will be subjected to a beatdown or death.
