The Legenday Hero trait is very good too.

Traits...

Swears Like A Trooper:
Unable to utter a single sentence that isn't laced with the foulest curses, even this man's friends avoid long conversations where possible.

Boring Little Tit:
This man's speeches are so boring that his audiences would probably prefer death to more hours of torture!

Terrified by Barbarians:
The random "bar-bar-bar" gibberings of barbarians echo through this man's darkest nightmares…

Ancillaries...

Evil Mother-in-Law:
"And look at the state of you! A disgrace, that's what you are! To think that my daughter ever took up with the likes…"

Over-Protective Nanny:
"Nanny knows best…"

Got another great one :)
Upright: 300% increase to cost to bribe, +6 to law

If a member of your family has lots of bad traits (especially those relating to unrest, squalor, corruption), yet also has 7 or more managment scrolls and a good number of decent ancillaries, does that make him a good governor, or bad governor?

The evil mother-in-law but I found a general who also had a famous courtesan in his ancillary. I did not surprise me to find out that he was totally paranoid and quite mad.

Check to see what happens when you move him out of his settlement. If public order and tax revenue both increase, it's safe to says he's a bad governor!

You meant good right?

I had a Carthaginian governer (Ribaddi the Honest) with this trait. He was also Fanatically Loyal (another 400% increase to cost to bribe). Now THERE was a sound character!

Drunken Lout is an amusing trait, as it can result in the pre-battle "Attack the elephants, men! Go for the pink trunky beggars!" speech.

Has anyone ever acquired the Senatorial Horse ancillary?
