Sadeas is and always has been a brutal, cruel man. He has no compassion and enjoys showing off and pillaging. He will sacrifice people easily to meet his goals; this was his pattern both during [[Gavilar]]'s war to unify Alethkar and later with his bridgemen at the Shattered Plains.{{book ref|sa1|32}}{{book ref|sa3|3}}
He is proficient at politics and strategy. His marriage to Ialai is strong because she is also very good at conspiracy, intrigue, and plotting.{{book ref|sa2|5}}{{book ref|sa2|29}} They run their princedom with those same values, and their warcamp reflects this. While he relishes in his position of authority, he has no desire to be king, considering it a job with little praise or amusement.{{book ref|sa3|76}}
One of his main goals are the life and stability of the kingdom of Alethkar. He is willing to sacrifice anyone, even those he respects and admires, if he considers them a threat to Alethkar and its stability.{{book ref|sa1|69}}{{book ref|sa3|76}}
Sadeas does not believe in the Codes and is sure that compassion and diplomacy are signs of weakness. He believes Gavilar Kholin's death was evidence that the Codes lead to ruin. This was one of the main reasons for him to betray Dalinar.{{book ref|sa2|50}}{{book ref|sa2|55}}{{book ref|sa1|69}}
