well, let's see here:
Tusk, my main character, is not very philosophic at all. he joined the crusades because the knight that controlled his village ordered him to, but that knight is long dead (he died during the march north) and Tusk is kinda in a "now what" phase of his life, in that this is the first time he hasn't had someone standing over his shoulder giving him orders: it's different and confusing, and even more so now that people are looking to him to answer the kinds of questions that adventurers are expected to answer.
as for my secondary character henry, he's struggling with the temptation of power: as an eldritch caster, he has a tremendous amount of power, but he's constantly having to temper that with the knowledge that he can easily become a monster; not (say) an infernal, but something much worse: power without responsibility.
finally, my tertiary character Ethanios is certain of a prophesy that states that the war of retribution is drawing near, but his goal will be to work sideways of that to keep the people of seremas safe (all of them, not just the elorii). Having been a life warden in a previous life, he also worries about the fact that he has no ability this cycle to draw upon the cants (or any real magic, for that matter). in the quiet moments if meditation, he is worried that his soul has become impure or corrupted somehow (not that he would share those concerns with anyone, mind).
