His complete opposition to the concept of democracy is likely a reflection of this controlling nature of his, his distrust of other people to make the right decisions or get things done, and in his views on what the role of a leader is in society.{{wob ref|11298}}{{book ref|sa1|69}}{{book ref|sa4|50}} This nature of his can be found rooted in the Way of Kings, that which he uses as a foundation of his morality and worldview.{{book ref|sa1|12}}{{book ref|sa3|105}}{{book ref|sa3|115}} It teaches that a monarch, or any ruler, provides stability and strength to his people, that he and his orders are the firm foundation upon which society stands.{{book ref|sa1|28}}{{book ref|sa2|38}}
Another aspect of his controlling nature arises from his interpretation of his behavior as the Blackthorn as being rooted in a lack of control, which led him to try to overcompensate through always being in control. He does this as he fears returning to the person that he used to be.{{wob ref|11298}} His tendency to fully and single-mindedly dedicate himself towards things and ideals is another method for keeping himself from returning to what he was.{{book ref|sa1|64}}
