His design gets plenty ornate and has elements of nobility in (what I think is) his final ascension due to the gold and religious imagery, and it's not inaccurate to thematically think of him as a man who 'pirated' everything he could from the people who already lived in the places he "discovered" rather than think of him as an explorer (which has more benign connotations that aren't really accurate).

It might have been more effective if his initial outfit (in the story at least) made him seem respectable and noble only to have his second and third outfits progress to show him as the man he really is, but as it is what we got is perfectly suited to his character.
