Aatrox personality doesn't fit his lore?

So I read all the Darkin & Aatrox stories and accumulate this idea of him being a god-warrior that wants to bring death to everyone, including himself eventually. He's seems dark, serious, full of hatred.

And then I watch the video of his special interactions... he jokes a lot, he uses petty insults, overall just being a sassy Darkin.

"Mastery? I must congratulate you. Obviously your parents never had reason to." "A lighting squirrel? Hahaha!" "Varus. V A R U S. Your name should have an A and then another A, Varus. THERE WAS A MEMO VARUS. THERE WAS A MEMO."

He asks why Rhaast chose a scythe, "were you trapped in the gardening section?"

After fighting the Void, you'd think he'd understand them a bit. And yet when he taunts a void creature, he says "....you don't know how to talk, do you? Shit...."

After getting betrayed by the Aspects, you'd think he'd have more hatred toward all of them. And yet when he encounters Taric, he says "....Aspect of.. Get a hair cut!" Like, what...? He also calls him the "Lord of Hair". Why is he joking so much if the lore implies him to be a Darkin (literally meaning "the fallen") and full of hatred?

Does anyone else feel this way? Or am I just assuming he'd be more different in his special interactions?

Thats because you only saw his interactions video. Outside of them he has very few funny lines.

You can be angry and twisted AND still be sassy at times. He could think fighting with a scythe instead of a sword is stupid and he could be miffed that Varus, even after all this time, still has not gone with the Double A thing.

Don't worry too much about some in-game interactions, they're just for fun and don't represent the actual Lore at a 1 to 1 ratio.

For example, every character in this game has a dedicated button to dance on command. (or like, do poses if they're boring)

Yeah, he is every bit the angry , AAAngry individual he should be , dont you worrry about it . Some humor as an easter egg isnt a big deal

He also has plenty of interactions that are quite wrathful. Mostly towards aspects like Zoe and Pantheon.

So while he does have funny lines, it’s clear he’s pissed.

in his lore, he was once a beautiful and honorable being.. maybe that gave him a jovial side even in his bitter hatred he still has a sense of humor.. maybe some room for growth and redemption? maybe it means he has depth and isn't just "growl im mad and gonna kill you and have a 1 dimensional personality"
