Present-oriented and adaptive war strategist. In the Byzantine-Sassanid Wars, he is fully aware of Byzantine resources from the people against the war. Ti over Fi because his decisions of the war is based on his own thinking that depends on current events, like he ignores the Sassanids' occupation of Byzantine provinces just to make his army to reach Sassanid capital city and sack it for important war resources. He thought of moving the Byzantine capital to Carthage for sake of his people and the treasure's safety, but was convinced to stay in Constantinople by Patriarch Sergius. He is shown as people-oriented due to his own logical decision to save some important Christian Crosses for the masses after the sacking of Sassanid capital city. Clear Ti-Fe usage. Lack of Ni is shown when he got too committed to defeat the Sassanids just for the reconquest, the sweet Sassanian title "King of Kings", and the love of his people, resulting in lack of preparation against the impending Arab invasions. Clear 3w2 due to his slothful personality and lust for pleasure in his stressful events that threw him to an unhealthy e9. Started his growth to e6 when he gets the love of his people and the Church, so that he gets committed to others' wants by gaining victories against the Sassanids.
Biography
Heraclius (Latin: Flavius Heraclius Augustus, Greek: Φλάβιος Ἡράκλειος, Flavios Iraklios; c. 575 – February 11, 641) was the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire from 610 to 641. His rise to power began in 608, when he and his father, Heraclius the Elder, the exarch of Africa, led a revolt against the unpopular usurper Phocas. Heraclius's reign was marked by several military campaigns. The year Heraclius came to power, the empire was threatened on multiple frontiers. Heraclius immediately took charge of the Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628. The first battles of the campaign ended in defeat for the Byzantines; the Persian army fought their way to the Bosphorus but Constantinople was protected by impenetrable walls and a strong navy, and Heraclius was able to avoid total defeat. Soon after, he initiated reforms to rebuild and strengthen the military. Heraclius drove the Persians out of Asia Minor and pushed deep into their territory, defeating them decisively in 627 at the Battle of Nineveh. Heraclius lost many of his newly-regained lands to the Muslim conquests. Emerging from the Arabian Peninsula, the Muslims quickly conquered the Sasanian Empire. In 634 the Muslims marched into Roman Syria, defeating Heraclius's brother Theodore. Within a short period of time, the Arabs conquered Mesopotamia, Armenia and Egypt.
