This character's edge would probably be best sharpened by how he reacts in the context of once being part of the empire.And as someone who learned this the hard way, it's best to figure out these types of questions first so you don't have to wing it in an rp session.
1) How does he feel about his life so far?
2) Does he know or care about his origins?
3) Does he actually hate the empire or does he feel indifferent?
4) How does he feel about Eorzea? Does he look down on them?
5) What effect did the empire's propaganda have on him?
Little things like that in conversations will take a character like this a very long way
The problem with not thinking about it beforehand is once someone puts you on the spot, your brain usually races for an answer and you end up just blurting something out and then having to remember what you said exactly so when another person asks you the same thing 2 days later, you give a different answer.
