* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Holy god, yes. Andragoras' immense fighting skills and fearsome attitude of a conquering ruler are severely offset by him being ''too'' bullheaded and volatile to take practical or pragmatic advice and preferring to enact his orders whilst disregarding the wishes of his troops below him. He is very quick to violence and treats those around him poorly, which initially contrasted greatly with Arslan's more weak-willed behaviour, but as time went on and his son started to not only become a competent leader, but a [[BenevolentBoss beloved one to his troops]] as well, the contrasts between them served to highlight how ineffectual Andragoras' iron-fisted ways are for ruling in the current crisis situation. His clear-cut contempt of Arslan despite his successes and [[SnipeHunt banishment]] of him for petty reasoning earned the disgust of many of the Parsian soldiers, and soured their opinion of him after his escape for his needless antagonism. His decision to [[spoiler:sacrifice Jimsa, a Turanian abandoned by his people and unaffiliated with the Parsian conflicts within their borders, as a blood sacrifice to rise troop morale for his march on the capital, only served to convince the Turanian to escape and join Arslan's band due to the boy ruler being the only one who told him to live, and his callous attempted murder of Zaravant for helping him escape, which he survived only through luck and careful positioning of his environment to stage his 'demise']], unnerved many of his troops who witnessed the act, it being clear that they followed him afterwards only through their loyalty to Pars and fear of their king's wrath.

* VillainHasAPoint: He espouses PragmaticVillainy in order to run the Lusitanian war effort efficiently despite the incompetence of his brother and the idiocy brought about by his troops' blind fanaticism, which makes him the OnlySaneMan on their side who stands a good chance of being able to oppose Arslan's efforts to retake the capital. It's therefore no surprise that he thinks he'd be a better fit for the crown than his brother, since he basically already does everything required of a conquering king ''besides'' wear the crown himself. This eventually drives him to become TheStarscream and become king in full in order to claim full control over the army and take what he sees as basically his by effort and hard work anyway. Even if he's a manipulative backstabber who's plotting the death of his own family, the story does ''not'' shy away from agreeing with him on this point, and eventually several high-ranking Lusitanians come to agree that he's by far the best man to lead them as the situation in Pars growing increasingly unstable for them as the months pass.

Daryun's utter and vocal distaste for Narsus's artwork is a running gag throughout the story, but while the first anime adaptation would have the viewers believe that Daryun is too boneheaded to appreciate true art, the novel series and the Arakawa adaptation imply that Narsus's art does actually suck.
