One Word of Domination

If your character could be the embodiment of one word (a noun), what would it be? Your character would have more of this one thing than anyone else in the world. Yes, it has to be one word alone.

"Invulnerablity" for a fighter?
"Speed" for a rogue? This might be too vague. It would apply to everything the rogue did, including eating, sleeping, talking, etc.
"Intelligence" for a wizardly type?

Okay, aside from the attribute words (Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom, etc.), what else out there is good?

What one-word embodiment would you want to have?

I generally go for nuance, so none of my characters are "the most" anything in the world.

The spoiled sorceress has a noble streak, and will shatter castles but will not slaughter non-combatant serfs, because they have it bad enough already; the disciplined warlord has a whimsical streak, and is both jocular and nearly self-effacing; the intellectual dwarf wizard (where did that come from?) tends to be both insightful and reflective (those being two different things).

I guess I just don't tend to create characters who relish saying, "I'm the best in the world at what I do, Buddy!"

(They tend to encounter the archetypes, not be the archetypes.)
