A haughty and arrogant man

One of the Frankish commanders
وهو من مقدمي الفرنج. Ibn al-Athir X 300 (Richards I 32)

ὁποῖος ἐκεῖνος περὶ τὰς λήψεις ἀκάθεκτον ἔχων τὸν ἔρωτα. Anna Komnene 329.47-48
One of the Latins (Crusaders) who crossed to the east
Εἷς μέντοι τῶν πρὸς ἑώαν διαβάντων Λατίνων. Glykas 622.20
Resembled his father in everything, in daring, boldness and in indomitable spirit
κατὰ πάντα παρεμφερῆ τῷ πατρὶ καὶ τόλμαν καὶ ῥώμην καὶ γενναιότητα καὶ θυμὸν ἀκατάσχετον. Anna Komnene 48.34-36
Was not dismayed by defeat
ὡς εἰκός, κατέπιπτε δὲ οὐδαμῶς, ὁποῖος ἐκεῖνος. Anna Komnene 159.54
Was motivated to go on Crusade not by desire to worship at the holy places, but by love of gain and a desire to take Constantinople

Treacherous and deceitful by nature
τὸ ὕπουλον καὶ ἐνεδρευτικὸν αὐτοῦ ἦθος. Anna Komnene 317.21-22
Exceeded the Latin crusaders in wickedness and bravery as much as he was their inferior in men and money

He was afraid to meet
Alexios 1
, because he (Bohemond) was regarded as a crafty and sly man

He was by nature extremely devious
φύσει πονηρότατος ὤν. Anna Komnene 353.92-93
He was regarded by the people of the east as a kind of chief of chiefs among the crusaders; in the past, when Guiscard was overcoming the Byzantines, his reputation had terrified the Greeks from its glory in many struggles; since then he had been celebrated in Asia, and was now regarded as lord of them all
Eum inter caeteros quasi principum principem orientalis ille populus arbitrabatur, quod olim Wiscardo Graeciam debellante, Boamundi fama terruerat Graecos plurimo certamine gloriosa: extunc factus Asiae celebris, nunc quoque omnium dominus putabatur. Ralph of Caen 63

vir erat more impatiens et ardenter urgens propositum. William of Tyre bk. 5, 17.10
He was unlike any other man of his time, at once admirable and shocking. He was much taller than the tallest, with a slender waist and hips, broad shoulders and chest, and strong arms ... [a detailed physical description, sliding into moral qualities, ending with the statement that only
Alexios 1
could master him]
οὐδεὶς κατ᾽ ἐκεῖνον ὤφθη ἐν τῇ τῶν Ῥωμαίων γῇ οὔτε βάρβαρος οὔτε Ἕλλην ... θάμβος γὰρ ἦν ὀφθαλμῶν ὁρώμενος καὶ φημιζόμενος ἔκπληξις ... . Anna Komnene 411.25-412.59

For the people of Tarsos his reputation was high and his skills in war notorious, in all the Byzantine world
Boemundi fama semper claruit, bellum inhorruit. Albert of Aachen III.8
He twice (under his father) made

flee, once in his father's presence at Dyrrachion, then later at Larissa; the second victory had the added bonus that it allowed him an orderly retreat back to Italy
Graecorum imperatorem Alexium bis sub patre in fugam converterat. Ralph of Caen 2
Ambitious for power, not for the common good of the crusaders, but for himself
φίλαρχος ὢν οὐχ ὑπὲρ τῶν Λατίνων καὶ τοῦ κοινοῦ τοσοῦτον ὅσον ὑπερ τῆς ἑαυτοῦ τιμῆς. Anna Komnene 334.72-73
