Both John and Lawrence were primary inspirations for Acheron. So it doesn't surprise me that you would find hints of both their personalities in his. ^ ^

For Acheron, he knows that individuals make up communities and that trying to focus on the civilization without the people who make it up is like trying to treat a growth while ignoring cancer itself. So, it's pretty much a mix of both worlds in order to build a great empire, the natives must have a powerful sense of togetherness and community, So, for Acheron allowing the people to work together in order to form a powerful connection aids him greatly in his quest for freedom. Giving them the ability to grow more powerful as they work side by side.
