He doesnt like the war, he experienced it himself physically. He wishes, that the hungarian people stop fighting with other nations, and the nazis eventually win. And peace will be all over Europe.

Most times, he is a kind, slow and intelligent individual. However he has people, that he dislikes. For example marxists, he doesnt hate the individual whose marxists, he just dislikes the ideology. If youre a marxist he will say "I like you as a person, you are intelligent, why are you a communist? Youre way more intelligent then the dumb matierialists" If youre a jew, he will say "I like you, youre jewish, i know, but i do not hate you, nor the religion you follow. I dislike the elites, who does not want happiness across the nations" If youre a fellow hungarist hungarian, he will greet you "Kitartást, bajtárs!" If youre any kind of slav, he will respect you, as the helper of the hungarian volk.
