I’ve gone back to this concept to explore my shadow, as it seems to take over when I’m in low-level recon. It’s really interesting that this is when it emerges and takes hold of me. Why is it then that it looks for outlets?
My archetype is a combination of King and Magician—the Wise King. This is when I’m internally coherent and balanced. However, when I’m in low-level recon, all of that gets blurry, and my shadow (the Dark Sovereign) finds its outlets.
I asked GPT to help me and I guided it.

Integrating the Wise King is not about dominance or prestige—it’s about becoming the kind of man who brings order and insight wherever he goes.
Not to be seen as superior—but to be of service to something greater than himself.
