+ In his younger days, Janos was considered by many to be optimistic and somewhat naïve. The various hardships he experienced during his life hardened him to the point of bitterness and cynicism. His various failed offenses against his neighbors indicate he was not able to overcome the inherent lack of unity in his military. His actions during the Fourth Succession War demonstrated a pettiness that ultimately cost his realm significantly. Nevertheless, he successfully prosecuted the civil war against his brother, and notwithstanding the Andurien secession, the League was stronger and more unified at the end of his reign than it was at the beginning. Perhaps his greatest flaw was simply in comparison to his contemporaries from the latter Third Succession War. He possessed neither the genius of [[Hanse Davion]], the vision of [[Katrina Steiner]], the will of Takashi Kurita or the manipulative cunning of Maximilian Liao.

+ The FWLS ''[[Janos Marik (Individual Impavido-class WarShip)|Janos Marik]]'' was named after him.{{cn}}
