>>57995397Personally, I feel Rose suffers from giving him the wrong character flaws for the actions he takes. There is very little to show he is anything more than a kind man who is trying to do his best. He doesn't get angry about his plans being interrupted or challenged, he's rather humble in defeat, and he isn't even impatient like you would expect for a man who couldn't wait one more day. Hell, he's beloved for making the region a better place and he gives sports scholarships to orphans for God's sake. The only explanation for his actions are that he snapped somehow, but he remains composed in the face of everything.
Actually, I just had a theory. He is constantly shown being so busy and beloved that he never gets to relax. I genuinely think he might have just asked himself one day "What is a way I can tank my reputation and be stripped of my responsibilities, while also doing something good for the region?" By interrupting the biggest event of the year and unleashing a dangerous polemon that Leon will surely capture and enrich Galar with. Things didn't go completely to plan, but now he's got some peace and quiet while relaxing in a no doubt cushy prison cell. He won.
