Thanks for your interest and generous comment, David :D

Victor Genesis is a Lawrence avatar, and all avatars are actually Lawrence himself under immersive identies with limited power sets, so he may enjoy many different lives at once.

To put it simply, it's kind of like a crystal prism : from the outside each facet looks like an individual existence, but from the inside they are just different angles of the same crystal.

So Victor's abilities and mind are actually a fraction of Lawrence's (just like the metaphorical facet), which means the first surpassing or rebelling against the later is an impossibility.

Lawrence's confidence comes from his fundamental invincibility, being essentially the personification of completely perfect and limitless Absorbing Replication, with the flawless records to match. So it's not so much arrogance as just the reasonable attitude in his place.
