-Iullius's New Olympus was set up akin to a constitutional monarchy. In spite of his awareness he should be immortal and believed he would always be able to serve his kingdom so long as he was around. His initial outline of the Law of New Olympus involved a statement about how any king who failed to either sustain or strengthen the kingdom over a matter of a period of 6-10 years had to be removed, by force if necessary. And could not be regarded as king.
-Iullius wears armor because it helps identify him as warrior. But also because clothes tear way too easily, and he prefers not to fight naked. The armor is functionally useless in actually protecting him.
-Iullius simultaneously regards himself as essentially a god, but considers himself required to follow the same rules as a human. However this also means he believes he can interfere in human affairs much more directly.
-Iullius never saw his imprisonment coming. Valeria was concerned, but both being immortal, and with Iullius's strength and Valerias ability to move into shadows, they assumed it would be impossible.
-Both Iullius and Valeria still suffer fear of their imprisonment. Valeria more so then Iullius, because while Iullius was able to essentially lose consciousness from lack of energy to keep him able to move, Valeria was very much conscious for over a thousand years of blinding light.
-Iullius sees some modern day superheros as comparable to some demi-gods of his time. Beyond human, and yet one with them, much like him. The differences come when he sees that the vast majority of them lack political or heavy military influence, while he was very much both a political and military leader even before becoming king of New Olympus.
-Due to his indestructibility being such an ingrained aspect of his existence, Iullius cannot gain from the effects of many drugs. Because his body practically refuses to gain from them, except to gain energy to keep him functioning. Like in the same way his senses of touch are dulled.
