Maybe it's just me, but it feels like someone who believes in absolute power and grabbing it for yourself would be the one who aggressively pursues the kill, but most of the time he leaves Kouta to do the finishing. He's usually content with using his finishers that are mostly strategic tools to hinder the enemy.
Yes but he is also a strong believer in individuals advancing and achieving strength on their own such as with Kouta. You are mistaken in believing that his ideals are exclusively aimed at himself, but it's more what he thinks everyone should do. You have it with the kid on the tree. If you look at the early episodes his anger with Gaim was that Kouta didn't take on greater challenges by fighting the stronger teams as Gaim. The same with Yggdrasil, his anger with them entirely stemmed from their perceived weakness and use of trickery in regards to Helheim that he rightfully believed stemmed from weakness. He leaves Team Baron so that Zack can become more stronger and not rely on him entirely.
