Kureys considers Tigre to be a worthy opponent, and he respects Tigre's leadership abilities. At least he respects Tigre, whereas many Brune aristocrats despise him for being an archer. I also have to hand it to Kureys for having standards. A good example is when several mayors approach Kureys after the fall of Nemetacum with an alliance to overthrow Regin. Kureys has them taken away in chains along with their relatives to be made slaves. Even Kureys wouldn't tolerate treachery from anyone. He's smart enough to know to never trust opportunists, for they could just as easily turn against him should the opportunity arise.

His one critical mistake was to underestimate Regin's resolve and determination. Perhaps he assumed that she would be weak just because she was a woman, and a relatively new leader. He probably thought that his massive army of over 110,000 men would demoralize and frighten Regin. Well he wrong on all counts, Regin showed great courage in rallying her soldiers in the face of Kurey's army. She said to them "They are the enemies we must defeat", thus inspiring them to fight on.
