Thought he had Garcia cornered in Clearwater, and his presence was a mere formality. With the city, and most of his army, burned to the ground, he had no choice but to retreat in shame.shame.
** He also thought that after getting firearms himself (prototypes), Timothy could wipe out Roland and his pitiful army. Boy was he wrong...


Added DiffLines:

* VillainousBreakdown: When Roland responds to an attack on his land by launching one of his own on King's City, Timothy gets hysterical about how his supposed "worthless little brother" could corner him so. He rants and raves that he should've been victorious since he had far more manpower, resources, and wealth than Roland, concluding the only way Roland could have the power to defeat him was that he "sold his soul to demons".

* DeadlyDecadentCourt: The king set up a "contest of worth" shortly before the story began. As expected, it soon devolves into the heirs trying to usurp and kill each other. [[spoiler:Subverted when it was revealed that it was the Church that orchestrated the entire contest; the king had no part in it.]]

* AscendedFanboy: As a child, he ''loved'' witches and their powers, always wanting to marry one. This enraged his father and gave his older siblings a flimsy excuse for their bullying. Once Chen Yan came into the picture and inherited the guy's consciousness, guess what happens...

* WrongAssumption: When she receives reports that Roland conquered Longsong, she was briefly impressed, thinking that Roland finally GrewASpine, but then upon reading further, that Roland returned to Border Town, she presumed it was an act of cowardice, and that she "bullied him too much", planning to "apologize" later with an ImagineSpot of Roland wetting himself before her army. Unfortunately, she never got to learn that Roland wasn't retreating to a hick-backwater town, he was consolidating his forces and building a mighty agricultural, industrial, and martial juggernaut, capable of curbstomping all but the most advanced and entrenched enemies.

* InstantExpert: She picked up aviation in no time.

* InstantExpert: She picked up aviation in no time. This is justified by the fact that she picked up "flight" magical stones and used her magic to practice with them before Roland developed flying machines she could pilot.

* StupidEvil: He was a shoe-in for the throne at the start of the story. He was given the richest and most prosperous territory to govern. All he had to do was sit quietly and not rock the boat too much. Despite all this, and knowing he has no martial talent, he goes and ultimately turns everything into a story-line eerily similar to Game of Thrones by provoking all his siblings, save Tilly who was "missing." He even sent armies after "Roland." Was that ''ever'' a mistake.

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: One of his earliest KickTheDog moments, at least on-screen, was when one of his knights, under his orders, tortured the woman of a popular travelling band of entertainers to death, giving her lover and co-worker, a small number of silver royals for compensation afterwards. Said lover founded a network of spies under Roland to help bring Timothy down, and when confronted, Timothy had to be reminded of who he was, and still thought the grudge was meaningless when it dawned on him.

* EvenEvilHasStandards
** The idea of actually killing the king never occurred to him. His plan was to lure Gerald into seemingly making a grab for the throne and then exposing the scheme in front of his father. However, his "father" killed himself pretty much the moment he saw Timothy, forcing him to improvise his 'Gerald killed the king while I was away' strategy.
** Unlike Garcia, he was content to just ignore Roland so long as he recognized Timothy's royal authority. However, Roland responded to Timothy's return summons by calling him 'His highness Timothy' rather than 'His majesty,' indicating he was still going for the throne and thus a political rival.


Added DiffLines:

* KickTheDog
** Her first victory against Timothy relies on burning one of her own cities to the ground while his forces are trapped inside while the oblivious civilians burn with them.
** Even though she didn't consider Roland an actual threat to her plans, she still tried to have him murdered.
