He's basically undefeated—losing just isn't in his vocabulary. On the surface, he's all barbaric warrior energy on the battlefield, but there's more to him than that. He's actually capable of playing it cool and gathering intel when the situation calls for it. What matters to him isn't bloodline or noble status; he judges people on what they can actually do. His vassals and men know he trusts them completely, which is probably why they're so loyal to him.
