In many ways, this trope is just a glorified version of a man groveling to his betters and looking down on those who cannot fight, also known as Might Makes Right. The Proud Warrior Guy's respect and honor polarizes his interactions with people: he bows to worthy fighters whose capacity to do violence equals or exceeds his own (even if they revile his cultural views), and everyone else is treated as pitiful slaves. "Proud" does NOT mean having a sense of chivalry: those too weak to be worthy of the Proud Warrior Guy's interest can be slapped around like a slave. If evil, he will probably be the Worthy Opponent. The Proud Warrior Race Guy is often depicted as either a hero or a protagonist's ally, but only because the protagonists just happen to not be on his rape and pillage lists. This Proud Warrior Race will often be based on a very glorified view of one of several real world cultures who are perceived to have acted this way, such as the Mongols, Samurai, Spartans, Vikings or American Indians. A specific subtrope of Blood Knight, the Proud Warrior Race Guy seeks battle and bloodshed because his culture teaches that doing so is the greatest source of personal honor and glory.
