And, undisciplined? A guy who worked for one goal and one goal only for his whole sentient life? No way. He was very disciplined, and focused, and driven - but he was also king of the world, and knew he could wing it, whether "it" be professional or personal.

That was his ultimate undoing, but he came very close to pulling it all off. Think of what enormous worldwide prestige he'd have today had he not seen Monica. He'd probably be the head of the new EU, the titular head of every American to the left of Lieberman, and the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the UN.

And I didn't even particularly care for him.
So, you think it was hubris rather than lack of focus or discipline? That makes sense.
