Some parts of the SV manga...don't exactly vibe. Like they make Lym more antagonistic (when she even says in game she used to treat to him like that). Also they say Frey (I'm sorry, Ardil) was 10 during the Armes invasion, that would make him 18 during the war. HOWEVER...they say Arshtat's Sacred Games was 16 years ago. (So I guess he's born out of wedlock lmao).
I do think he may have has a feeling of trying to fit into the family, having a bit of a feeling of inferiority of uselessness sometimes as he's a prince in a Queendom, even though Ferid and Arshtat have made sure they aren't planning on marrying him off for diplomatic reasons and want him to find his own way in the house (Ferid probably would have inducted him in the Knights in another few years; if failing that being his mother's envoy...)
I'm not for the super broody, kind of passive Freyjadour. But he's a teenage boy, so there's going to be some of those feelings of inadequacy. My interpretation has him being very similar to his father at that age, kind, stands up at injustice with a bit of the impulsive streak of youth. He often reacts without thinking, and after Rainwall starts to be less impulsive and more like the leader his father wanted him to be.
