==Personality and characteristics==
Sophronios was a vicious man driven purely by greed. Despite being financially prosperous, his lust for greater riches was insatiable. When Uteh refused to concede to his underhanded attempts to steal his land, the desperation of Sophronios to win the property was such that he articulated it as not just a desire, but a need: a need to seize it, a need to kill Uteh, a need to slaughter Uteh's entire family. Although he planned for their deaths to be framed as an accident, he made no secret of his murderous nature, openly threatening the lives of his allies should they fail to fulfill their end of the bargain. Indulgent in his privileged status, he deplored the lower status [[merchants]] who operated their businesses in the square outside his house, finding their inferior goods to be "filthy". Just before his death, he planned to buy them out to persuade them to move their market elsewhere.<ref name="ACO Birthright" />
