>A master tactition with eyes on building a kingdom and legacy betrays multiple people in a rise to power and who by his own actions sent himself to a low point for a year before being rescued and subsequently betrayed his friends for another chance at building his legacy, where only a handful of people know his true nature
Cody Rhodes is literally Griffith
>Early Golden Age is Cody siding with the Elite and using their success to build his own army of smarks
>Mid Golden Age (Doldrey) is him successfully manoeuvring in to the EVP position in AEW
>Late stage Golden Age (torture/rescue) is his reluctance to turn heel
>Eclipse is Cody citing an undisclosed reason to abandon his friends in the Elite
>Cody's return is literally the first half of conviction, where he's pulling strings to make himself a white hot babyface in WWE
>Reincarnation Ceremony is Cody winning the title from Roman at Mania
>Everything since then is Millennium Falcon onwards where he's far removed from AEW but still manipulating things behind the scenes, such as convincing his friends to jump ship
