Usually somebody in a military (real or fictional) setting having delusions of grandeur, often acting like somebody only second to god himself and being generally narcissistic. Thus earning the sarcastic title of Carolus Rex, a swedish king. Notably pared sarcastically with the Sabaton song 'Carolus Rex.'
A: He wants us to say his name when we pray, makes me think he's turning into a Carolus Rex knockoff.
B: I think that's called Carolus Rex Syndrome.

Över Norden jag härskar
Med det arv som jag fick/gavs
Gång på gång, sjung Carolus sång
Krigets konst jag behärskar
Låt mitt namn sprida skräck
Gång på gång, sjung Carolus sång
Än en gång, sjung Carolus sång
