Julius, a brash and arrogant noble, firmly held the belief that commoners could never achieve the status of generals and be considered equals to nobles. This conviction motivated him to attempt the murder of Griffith. Additionally, Julius trained his son in swordsmanship, aiming for him to lead the White Dragon Knights and become a suitable husband for the princess. He perceived this duty as fundamentally distinct from the responsibilities of other men.

Not entirely devoid of compassion, Julius admitted to Hassan that his rigorous training of his son stemmed from allowing his frustrations to get the best of him, revealing a more nuanced aspect to his character.
