Line 187:
"The battle," commanded the boar.}}
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: Described as "the most aggressive commander in the Roman army ... prone to recklessness." He '''likes''' headlong cavalry charges. But he's not stupid, and can recognize — reluctantly — if it isn't a good time for one.
* [[Brilliant But Lazy]]: Despite his thoroughgoing military competence and devotion to duty, he is widely regarded as the laziest man in the Roman Empire. Even ''[[Properly Paranoid|Justinian]]'', who obsessed about the possibility of being overthrown by one of his successful generals, didn't hesitate to put Sittas in charge of the capital city garrison because it was impossible to suspect Sittas of anything requiring actual ''work'', such as ambition.
** Sittas himself uses his own laziness as a metaphor for [[Beyond the Impossible]].
{{Quote|'''Sittas''': Worry about something else, Your Majesty. Worry that the sun will start rising in the west. Worry that fish will sing and birds will grow scales. *snorts* If you really insist on fretting over fantasy, worry that I'll start drinking water and do calisthenics early in the morning.}}
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: And drunkenness; he often likes to pretend he's drunk.
