Personality
Acheron is a pompous and self-centered individual who only cares for his own interests, willing to either protect or betray his homeland depending on the circumstances, hence his in-universe nickname "The Weathervane". Despite oozing an aura of smugness however, he's not afraid to humiliate himself and beg for his life if it is at stake.
