@Teras - The reason I asked about money was because you mentioned several times in his backstory that the thing that drove him as a desire for more money. I'm just trying to figure out what his basic, core motivation is. It seems to be glory, yes?
Ah ok, so yeah his core motivation would be glory. He cared about money only for the fact that he wanted to help his family out. That’s why he got into fighting and eventually became a gladiator, to pay the bills. And as an accomplished gladiator it’s safe to assume he probably was easily able to help set up his parents with some money so that could live comfortably a gold goes a long way.
But once that goal was met he kind of had to look for a new goal, since his main goal in the first place was to help his family. With that done he had some self reflection and realized that combat was something he enjoyed and the winning of combat was spectacular. So through that he started to fight not for his family anymore but for himself. Then joining the red legion he was able to decide who and how he would fight for himself as part of the company.
Then with him taking over he’s now in complete control of his destiny and with only his passion for combat, he’s going to seek out glory and combat that he feels that will help him to reach greater heights glory. When you’re a young simple guy, who’s really good at fighting and has no real wants what else is there to fight for then glory, at least in his mind
