Lo Po Bia Traumerei/Relationships

Relationships

 * Zahard: Traumerei is regarded as being the most loyal Family Head to Zahard, described as having been always an enthusiastic and dedicated follower. The full extent of Traumerei's loyalty to the King was how he was willing to accept the order to eliminate the Po Bidau Family and was the only Family Head who sent help and reinforcement to Zahard's Army during the Battle of The Nest. Traumerei noted even despite the other Family Heads mainly wishing to let Bam climb unhindered, had Zahard wished Baam to be killed, he would have done so.
 * The other Great Family Heads: Having climbed together, Traumerei and the other Family Heads are able to correspond with each other effectively. He respects his fellow Family Heads authority and views, as despite Baam being an enemy of the Zahard's Army, Traumerei was willing to take into consideration the wishes of the Family Heads and voluntarily used the Nest as the place to lure Bam in. As shown, Traumeri considers them to be his equals and thinks of them as his dear friends. This is shown where he spared Yu Han Sung after he revealed his connection to Hendo Lok Bloodmadder in consideration to him.
 * Lo Po Bia Family:Traumerei is the founder and progenitor of the Lo Po Bia family, having founded the family alongside his first generation of children. Originally, it was implied by the members of Hidden Grove that Traumerei was much more caring and loving towards his family, or at the very least his first few children. This is seen where he sent the Ancient Odd-Eyed Giant Cobra and his 8th Son to avenge his younger son after they killed him. With the members of the Hidden Grove noting that Traumerei’s reaction to the death of one of his children was completely different from the other Family Heads and he was noted to have been both enraged and deeply saddened by the loss of one of his children, as stated by his 8th son. However, as of the current day, Traumerei’s relationship with his family has grown extremely distant, with hints of emotional detachment, as shown where he would callously order the executions of two talented family members of his on a mere whim, prefering to not interact with any members of his family for possibly hundreds and thousands of years and simply stay within his room and callously giving orders and expecting full and complete obedience from them even if such orders went against their free will. Even his strongest subordinates are simply called by the names of the creatures they command and he orders around coldly, and he views most, if not all, of them, as being, alongside the rest of the resident of the Tower, aside from himself, the other Family Heads, King Zahard and Baam, as “lower creatures”. A clear example of this is of how he outright stated that what the bride to be wants or thinks of the marrriage he arranged was irrelevent and the only thing that mattered was Zarhard’s permission, his permission and Baam’s consent. However, despite his general apathetic view of them, it has been shown that Traumerei does care for them to a certain extent, as displayed by his concern towards the status of his family when Gustang attacked the Mothership, and he does work to ensure the continued survival of his family through his schemes and plans, especially during turbulent times of war.
 * Branch Family Heads: Aside from Kirin, Traumeri was shown to primarily interact with the Branch Family Heads of his family, who are his direct and closest subordinates. Due to their strength, Traumeri has shown to give them special attention and care in comparison to the rest of his family members. As seen where Lo Po Bia Dokoko and Lo Po Bia Whitegarment Widow recieved personal gifts from him in order to further empower and strengthen them, with Dokoko being given the Six-Winged Giant Windbird and Whitegarment receiving the shield, Zubizarreta. Traumeri himself trusts them enough to accompany him when he goes out of the Mothership and it is family protocol that at least three branch heads or members of similar strength act as his bodygaurds and aids whenever he leaves the mothership on official business. However, despite treating them much better than the rest of his family, it is shown that Traumeri himself does not hold much attachment to them personally and does not mind sacrificing them or even killing them himself should the situation call for it.
 * Lo Po Bia Kirin: With Kirin as the Chief Tamer of the Family and directly answering to Traumerei, he appears to have a modicum of respect and trust in Kirin at the very least, being willing to indulge him on his questions and allow him to speak his view.
 * Lo Po Bia Shilial Zahard & Lo Po Bia Lilial Zahard: Shilial and Lilial are twin daughters he had together with his descendant, Lo Po Bia Laura. As shown from his offer to Baam, despite being his children and successfully becoming Zahard's Princesses, Traumeri bears little care and respect for them as human beings. This is shown where he callously offered the two of them to Baam as wife candidates without asking for their consent, having implied to be more than willing to simply force/intimidate them into going along with the marriage to Baam, completely ignoring their own will, with him stating that their opinion does not matter and is unimportant. Later, Traumeri would show this callousness upon meeting Lilial, with Traumeri only showing mild annoyance at Lilial’s personality as he calmly explained the Marriage Tournament to her and his expectations of her to be the winner and become “bridge” to connect Baam to their family, completely ignoring Lilial’s protest against the arrangment.
 * Lo Po Bia Laura: Laura is stated to be one of Traumeri’s many wives. As shown, Traumeri cares very little for her, despite her having given birth to two of his children. This is seen where he ordered Baam to kidnap her in order to use her as bait for The Serpent Master, putting her in direct danger by placing her inside the battle grounds of the Marriage Tournament. Traumeri himself admitted that he saw her purely as a means to an end and thinks nothing of getting her killed, believing that she was just another life for him to use as he sees fit. Laure is not only one of his wives, but also one of his direct descendants, as her grandfather Lo Po Bia Lobadon is his direct descendant.
 * Ha Jinsung: Jinsung knows the 10 Family Heads directly, but as such relationships are indicated to be mostly professional, Traumerei himself doesn't care in the slightest about Jinsung, being fully willing to threaten his life and seal him away. He acts condescending towards Jinsung when they meet, mostly disregarding Jinsung as a lesser being and seeing him as just the bait that made Bam arrive at the Nest.
