* CategoryTraitor: Lazaro gets this from both sides of Arriopa. On the one hand, the old monarchy was never going to let him advance higher than the title of Marquis, and the fact that he tried to kill Queen Eldaya means that if the old monarchy is ever restored, he will likely be executed for treason. On the other hand, the Republic still distrusts him because of his former title and suspect that his failure to kill Elida is intentional.
