I really like his character. I don't like him as a PERSON, because he is a big jerkwad, but seeing his arc with his red princess waifu and going from "jerk who wants to be emperor of all" to "jerk who wants to be a benevolent emperor" is neat. He has an arc, not a significantly moral arc, or one where he has a radically motivation shift; but he ends up having a greater perspective on things and finding satisfaction with what he has.
He's cool, really liked him. My only real issue with him is that he has the same tropes as Fane which makes them feel redundant when standing together.
