	A power-hungry man by nature, Octavian wanted nothing more than to be respected and feared. However, he believed in attempting to purchase these things rather than earn them. Having noble blood in his veins, the Baron believed in acting like royalty, condemning battle to be barbaric and beneath him. His personality was almost exactly the opposite of Bartolomeo d'Alviano, which resulted in great differences in their tactics during combat. Unlike his Templar allies, Octavian seemed to have regretted his actions at his death, noting that he remarked that he needed more time to gain the respect of others of those around him.<ref name="Brotherhood" />		A power-hungry man by nature, Octavian wanted nothing more than to be respected and feared.
