Thor is brave and actively supports his allies in a fight, even if he can't personally do damage. Bragas has the stats and the skills to fight directly, but he's a DirtyCoward who loves to throw his weight around but will flee a legitimate threat first chance he gets, regardless of his allies. Thor is humble and will admit to his mistakes, making an effort to fix them. Bragas is far, far too proud and will deny his mistakes to his last breath, doing everything he can to cover them up, even if that only makes things worse.

* HalfTruth: When his scheme to show up the demon king army in the subjugation mission against the monster Gargarosa fails, he shifts the blame for provoking the monster to some unnamed imperial convicted conscripts, and strongly "warns" Princess Liana to stay quiet on the subject. This doesn't fool Rukia for a second, but she has no choice but to let the lie pass because the imperial army ''does'' conscript convicts into the armed forces and she had no proof Zagran was less than honest.

* XanatosGambit: All his schemes have this in one form or another. The first on-screen example is tasking Duke Regus with the scheme to try and bribe General Respalgia into letting the empire steal some silver from a mine. If things go as planned, the empire gets funds for its war efforts through the extra silver. If the negotiations go poorly, strife can be started in the Demon King territory by framing the general for demanding bribes. If things go really, really badly, he can dump the blame of Duke Regus and remove a political rival. Of course, the duke screwed the pooch so badly that not only is Demon King territory now on guard against imperial meddling, and their general actively hostile, but the empire had to remit payment equivalent to several years of expected income from the mine to soothe all the ruffled feathers involved.

The first princess. Born with powerful [Light] magic, it stagnated in her system, making her extremely ill. The only reason she wasn't summarily cast off is that she '''can''' cast magic, but pays a huge price afterwards. She meets Thor when she's sent to the Empire/Demon border as part of the empire's ongoing military exercises and to investigate sightings of a dangerous unknown monster.

* InnocentBigot: When she learns Thor is the "wandering alchemist" that was fixing her holy sword, and he was doing a good enough job that when said sword ''shattered'', the parts he fixed were still enough to bring down the offending monster, she offers genuine gratitude and asks Demon Lord Rukia if Thor can be returned to the empire as her tool, expecting that to come across as the high praise she intended it to sound like. Rukia was '''furious''' and told her "Nope! Not going to happen!" Thor later admits that for the Doralgia empire, this is indeed high praise, and he's genuinely touched by Liana's gratitude, but he's still not going back.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Duke Regus foolishly demands to know why she spurned him at a public tea party, she tears into him for putting her life in danger by presenting her holy sword as "repaired" when in fact he ordered the alchemist's guild to only make it look like it was fixed when they told him the sword was too far gone, and nobody had the skills to even try, especially since the duke himself ignorantly banished the guy who was actually doing the job. Then she tears into him again when he tries to throw the alchemist's guild under the bus by stating that she indeed went to the guild to investigate and the guildmaster was all to happy to present the contract with his family crest where the guild was ordered to fake the repair using his ducal authority.

* FatalFlaw: His completely unjustified pride is what drove him to abuse and harass Thor, and because he's too proud to admit his mistakes, he just kept digging himself deeper trying to cover them up until he got in so deep, he can't climb back out again. Een then, he's still too proud to ask for help from the guy with a rope because he still sees that guy as completely beneath him.

* PercussiveTherapy: When Thor protests that he is most certainly ''not'' useless, and that the Empire is actually in dire need of Alchemists, Duke Regus shouts "It has been decided, there is no changing it!" and punches a table so hard, it implodes, sending shrapnel everywhere. At that point, Thor realizes further attempts at discourse are pointless and asks ''where'' he's being banished to.

* PsychologicalProjection: He presumed that since General Reselgia is a warrior who values strength, that he'd also happily look down on non-combatant support fields, like Thor's alchemy, and that's why he went with the scheme to try and bribe Duke Reselgia with a portion of the stolen silver from the mine, and if there's trouble, dump the blame on Thor. Problem is, demi-humans have long, long memories and they remember '''why''' they lost the war 200 years ago. The summoned Hero didn't win with just overwhelming might, he also had powerful logistics and was a TechnologicallyAdvancedFoe. As such, the Demon Lords have had a policy of "don't underestimate humans" and "all professions are valuable." So Reselgia wouldn't have looked down on Thor even if Thor hadn't earned his gratitude and his daughter's hand in marriage.

* XanatosGambit: When he's negotiating with Princess Sophia and having her evaluate his products, both the [Foot Bath] and the [Light Element Cloth] undergarments, he puts his life on the line, asking her to blast him with her strongest magic, the U-V light attack. Either she enjoys the goods and is impressed with his bravery, or she blasts him with said magic and he gets to test the effectiveness of his [U-V Protection Parasol] Thor developed precisely to deal with Empire [Light] magic attacks. Either way, he wins something. Rukia and Mabel have an issue with the latter part.

* TwentyFourHourArmor: Justified. Prior to meeting Thor, she needed to wear extremely fire-resistant armor to keep from setting everything, and everyone, around her on fire at the slightest expression of emotion. Once he gave her the [Health Pendant], she can dress in the frilly dresses she loves all she wants.
* AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: The fact that her power puts everyone around her in danger terrifies her, which makes things worse as the power is fueled by her emotions.
* BlessedWithSuck: She was born with very strong blood ties to Ifrit, the spirit of flame. As such, when puberty hit, awakening her power, ''she can't control it, at all'' without completely shutting down her emotions, an ImpossibleTask. Fortunately, she met Thor, who provided a permanent solution.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Mabel.
* TheFashionista: She loves to design girls' clothing, so when Thor needs someone to help design clothes for the fairies using [Elemental Cloth], she jumps at the chance to volunteer. The fairies in question never stop praising her designs, which tickles her pink.
* IOweYouMyLife: Because Thor gave her the [Health Pendant] that allows her to actually control her powerful fire magic abilities, by turning the flame magic to physical strength, she has sworn a life-debt to him, and the quickest way to resolve that is by marriage. Thor's response? "Cool!"
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When her power awakened, she was at a tea-party with Mabel, and her flames burned the latter's hand. Although Mabel got her hand healed with magic and doesn't hold a grudge, knowing Agnis had no control, Agnis still feels terrible about it.
* NakedFirstImpression: Close enough. When she's first introduced, she was wearing head-to-toe plate-mail and hiding behind her father. Her first proper introduction is in the bath playing with a salamander tasked with warming the bathwater, completely naked.
* TraumaticSuperPowerAwakening: An unusual take in that the power awakening triggers the trauma, not the other way around.

By his heavy-handed banishing of Thor and provoking General Respalgia, he provoked ''two'' such enemies. When he's informed of that and the Prime Minister makes it clear that his life was spared only because there's a possibility he can be used as a hostage to curb Thor's enmity, meaning Thor's existence is the only thing keeping him alive, he breaks down wailing in despair and has to be physically carried out of the Prime Minister's estate. It's immensely gratifying on both sides of the fourth wall.
Added DiffLines:
* OrderedApology: As part of a scheme to plant discord in Demon King territory, the Prime Minister has this guy write Thor a formal apology letter for all the crap he put Thor through. It backfires because the letter clearly has no sincerity and the attempt to make Thor a mole was glaringly obvious.

* AccidentalMarriage: Subverted. Just before Rukia is taking him, and Mabel to a dangerous monster investigation with Princess Sophia, he gifts her a ring with magical enchantments for her protection. When he learns this is an engagement ritual in the Demon King territory, he asks for the ring, so he can ''get her a better one'', more fitting of her station.

** And to kick the dog a bit more, he sends a letter to General Respalgia that Thor is a warrior, not an alchemist, so when General Respalgia brings his daughter to Thor, looking forward to having the two duel, the general is not rewarded with a fight that makes the poor girl accept her powers, but instead has Thor provide a real and permanent fix that allows her to move freely in society without being a danger to herself and others, giving Thor the very first of his fiances.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Justified. When he first meets Agnis, he notices that the armor she's wearing is about to fall apart, and offers to fix it. This angers her father and has her cower away in embarrassment, to his confusion. He later learns that she was '''completely naked''' under said armor, by necessity.
Added DiffLines:
* RoyalHarem: TruthInTelevision. In addition to the fact that the ladies of his UnwantedHarem all asked for his hand in marriage because they genuinely like him, he's pressured to accept because of very real political reasons. Rukia, the Demon Lord: Thor is a very, very valuable part of the Demon King territory infrastructure, as such, having him married to herself guarantees that he won't be seduced away to another faction easily. Mabel, the handmaiden: It is common for royalty to appoint a concubine to guarantee an heir, and Mabel's a woman Rukia has good reason to trust. Agnis, the daughter of general Respalgia: Her father is one of, if not '''the''', top general of Demon King territory, and demands Thor marry his daughter in exchange for UndyingLoyalty to Rukia. Princess Sophia, first princess of Dolargia Empire: She can't inherit for reasons of poor health, but she can still wed to strengthen alliances. As such, she requests to marry Thor to maintain peaceful relations with Demon King territory, on behalf of her people.
Added DiffLines:
* AbusiveDad: He never hesitated to physically and verbally abuse Thor every chance he got.
Added DiffLines:
* EvilLuddite: The very concept of Research and Development fills him with disgust. He pointedly says "it's not worth it" when Thor points out that the very holy weapons his country prides itself on are falling apart and somebody needs to maintain them, and if the empire insists on resting on their laurels, with the summoning ritual not working, it's only a matter of time until someone can trump the empire's tech.
* FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: Thor renouncing his family name, inheritance, and living as a commoner isn't enough to put this guy at ease. He has to make sure Thor is '''dead''' and nobody ever connects Thor's accomplishments in alchemy to his Ducal house. As such, he puts pressure on the alchemy college to refuse admission, and the government office to deny Thor any rewards, accomplishments, or advancement, and to top it all off, has Thor kidnapped and banished the first chance he gets.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He reveals his cowardly nature in the manga when he states that he'd rather commit suicide than face Demon King territory in battle. At first, this could be construed that the demi-humans are just that scary, but taken in light of the original source, when he panics, pleads, and begs to not be sent to the front lines, it serves to warn that for all his bravado, he's just a coward at heart.

* TheAce: Even before he was exiled to the Demon King territory, he was the best alchemist the empire had to offer, with skills ''light years'' above the rest. Being sent to there only made his alchemy more impressive, upgrading to [Complete Alchemy] by being exposed to the excessive [Dark] magic in the area.
* BeyondTheImpossible: The first thing he creates under the service of Demon Lord Rukia is the [Foot Bath] which fixed Mabel's magic circulation, allowing her to use magic. Rukia's best healers, experts in the field, couldn't do that. He reads the [Mail Order Catalog] and comes across the advertisement for a [Simple Warehouse]. Doing so unlocks space-attribute magic, which nobody even knows exists!
* KarmicJackpot: Once he makes it to the Demon King territory, people who are kind to him have a tendency to have nice things happen to them. People who have ill intentions towards him tend to gloriously self-destruct.

----
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Banishing Thor to die in the Demon King's territory was supposed to erase the "shame" of his household and give him and his all the glory and perks he thinks he deserves. At least that's what went on in his head. The reality is that he permanently alienated a very, very rare and valuable tool his country needs in its expansionist agenda and cold-war with the Demon King country, and worse, actually gave said tool ''to'' the Demon Lord his empire is trying to keep intimidated, and it just gets worse from there.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: When it dawns on him that he screwed up by banishing Thor, his knee-jerk responses only serve to make everything worse for him.
** He put pressure on the government controlled alchemy lab that was repairing the crown princess's holy sword to keep all of Thor's accomplishments secret, even from himself. As such, he didn't know Thor was working on said sword until ''after'' the boy was banished, and with Thor gone, there's nobody around who can even begin to work on it, due to how severe the wear and tear is and the fact that the sword's core has a major fracture. When he learns of this, he presumes the sword is merely ceremonial and orders the top alchemist to ''make it look'' like it's repaired.
** The head alchemist doesn't want to take the fall if the sword winds up in combat, so Duke Regus happily signs the contract waving all liability, rather than admit he failed in his self-appointed task to get the sword fixed.
** The crown princess, not being informed of this, takes the "repaired" sword into battle on her virgin hunt against monsters. Since the sword wasn't repaired properly, '''it shatters''' when she tries to use her [Light] magic through it as she was trained. If a close friend and bodyguard didn't take the monster's counter in her place, ''she could have easily died.''
** When the princess gives Duke Regus the cold shoulder at a party, he publicly demands to know why she's spurning him. She then makes his scheme public, even showing one and all the very contract he signed to provide a sword that only looked like it was repaired because he didn't want to admit that he couldn't complete the task he volunteered for.
** He tries to recover his reputation by conspiring with a margrave who lives near a silver mine the empire and demon territory were planning to share to once again throw Thor under the bus in a scheme to net more silver for the empire than the contract allows, and bribing General Respalgia, in whose territory the mine lays. He was unaware that the demon general is a man of honor above his warrior ethos, ''and'' has a debt of gratitude towards Thor. This results in Duke Regus's attempt at embezzlement reaching the ears of the emperor and Bragas not only being demoted from Duke to Count, but being sent to the front lines, personally, to "lessen his sins."
* DirtyCoward: For all his bravado about combat strength being the epitome of virtue, when '''he''' is the one going to the front lines, he panics, begs, and pleads to try and get out of it.
* MilesGloriosus: He loves to boast about his house's combat prowess, but the moment it looks like he will actually have to fight, he panics and tries to beg his way out of it.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: By banishing Thor to the Demon King territory, he not only upgrades Thor's [Alchemy] to [Complete Alchemy], but puts the boy in contact with Demon Lord Rukia, who gives him a much, much more rewarding job as her top alchemist, and gets him his [Mail Order Catalog] that allows him to advance the local tech by decades ''on the conservative side.''
