I'm torn about this ruler. I roleplayed him as a skilled diplomat and a just character (though he lost the "Just" trait along the way). He was a patron of the arts and knowledge, as well as a warrior and a crusader who developed a taste for battle and even lost an eye fighting a Saracen. Over time, he also lost the "Brave" trait, and eventually the "Diligent" one too.
My vision for him was that he embodied the ideals of knighthood. While war was a major part of his life, much of his reign was focused on securing peace and punishing evil within his realm. He's also a learned man who based his government and laws on the old Roman Empire, while maintaining a close council of knights and loyal servants much like the Arthurian legend he tried to emulate.
He is deceitful, but I got that trait through the Intrigue focus. Even excommunicating powerful vassals was, in his mind, a just and calculated act. While some might view it as manipulative, I didn’t see it as entirely evil.
I don’t particularly want (or need) the Philosopher bloodline, since I plan to remain Christian — even though he is a highly educated ruler. The last war he won was the final step in conquering and securing the British Isles, forming the Empire of "Britannia" as the Romans once called it. By all rights, he also deserves the title "the Conqueror" — but that bloodline gives him the "Bloodhound" epithet, which really doesn’t suit his character.
So I’m stuck between three options
>The Conqueror bloodline
Which is fitting but has bad bonuses and an ill-fitting nickname.
>The Philosopher bloodline
Sounds nice, but is less useful for a Christian ruler.
>The Perfect Knight,
Fits the RP and gives strong bonuses, but feels at odds with his final traits. Plus, he’s a 60-year-old grandpa now so I cant do much to get rid of Greedy and Deceitful traits now.
