Kokytos was raised immersed in mythology and as he grew he remained straddled between the two worlds. He's moralistic but in a rather complicated fashion, as he has his own interpretations for what exactly morals are. When Koky is called 'humane' it is not because he is kind but because he is merciful in his own way. He will not draw out torment for longer than necessary but he does not spare anyone for even a good reason. He expects certain things from certain individuals but he has a hard time understanding that sometimes he's inevitably disappointed. He simply expects too much; not everyone can be as relentless as him, as unbreakable. Kokytos can bend all the way backwards before he snaps.
He's somewhat tyrannical in his ruling of the Clovercliff horses but he exercises his power in an interesting way. He wants things to happen in specific ways yes, but he has also grown up among these horses and he respects them for who they are. He's very, very hard to impress, and whenever new horses come into Clovercliff they have a great deal to prove to him. The Boy King is an iron-fisted ruler. Still, despite his heritage and his strange parents, Koky remains soft at heart. He's basically happy; he enjoys the responsibilities of leading, the experience of it. He likes walking beside his mother when the flowers bloom in the spring and there is the heady scent of pollen in the air. But he likes too pressing his chest against another's and spitting orders at them, at seeing one quiver in fear, at allowing a horse to bend a knee to him. It is perhaps unsurprising that he has inherited some of Undyne's temperament.
