Weapon of Choice: A Heavy Bastard Sword and Knightly Heater Shield.

Jerkass Has a Point: He mentions that while there were warrior queens before, all of them end up leading the Swadian army to ruin.

Stay in the Kitchen: While all other rulers have logical, if a bit selfish, reasons for denying or not acknowledging a claimant's right to the throne, Harlaus' reason is only that 'She is a woman, and would not rule well,' and gives no other reasons.

Swadia just gets hit with this *a lot* because it has to fight on multiple fronts against multiple enemies. This is a bit unjustified since it's a uniform AI Monarch behavior, one that's *caused* by the enemy gaining ground, and is a desperate attempt to keep vassal relations functional enough to wage war.

Screw the War, We're Partying!: Memetically infamous for this, as he will often call all of the lords together for feasts, even when the enemy breaks in the doors and starts running rampant.

Royals Who Actually Do Something: Like all Calradian monarchs, he's active on the field during campaigns.

However, his high level and high tier equipment make him one of the most dangerous.

Mighty Glacier: The single hardest opponent to kill in the entire game, he has the best armor possible, a good sword, and shield, luckily, he's a bit of a Stone Wall, since he doesn't have a lance.

It's All About Me: If you are allied with Swadia, be prepared to see 'King Harlaus has decided to give the fief of to King Harlaus' A LOT.

In reality, it's a uniform AI behavior applied to all Monarchs to try and keep vassal relations above water, Swadia just gets hit with these because they have to fight on multiple fronts.

Fat Bastard: A reputation Harlaus developed due to his tendency to hold feasts at improper times, including when he's under siege.

Authority Equals Asskicking: Generally held to be the most dangerous NPC in the game, bar none.

Chances are he will be taken down by an archer/fast melee character or be thrown from his horse and ganged up on by a group of soldiers.

Achilles' Heel: Harlaus is a highly competent opponent in battle, but his equipment is heavy and cumbersome.
