Might have something to do with his interacting with large numbers of people rather than one-on-one dealings, as in the case of Adalind. He seems to be striving to be a leader people, lots of people, and as such would not want his wesen identity known to more than a select few for political reasons. Other side of the coin, could be he's really not that much more powerful as a Z, so why go there much. But given his private nature, I tend to think it's the former.
Just an ideia/suggestion about this conversation... Sean is form the royal family and in the show all royals that showed up (Sean include) were very manipulative. Many wesens (and even grimms) work or worked for the royals and aparentelly the royals see themselves as superior than othe others, seen the wesens , for exemple, as some kind of servents or something like that. This way, Sean maybe prefer (or believes) that using his royal blood is more powerful and persuasive than using Z power.
I was trying to suggest some possible traits of the Zauberbiest side of the witchlike wesen family in my explanation, but being a Royal would add to Renard's desire or ability to persuade others to his cause. Back in the day, the armies of the seven Royal families were made up of Wesen, who were controlled by Grimms, who were in turn hired by the Royals to police them. So I see what you mean about the Royal connection attributing to Sean's ideas about being a leader of men; a sort of feeling of privilege of class he may have. Now you mention it, could be he's a real contender to rise to power considering his background and heritage; a sort of double whammy. It's really kind of vexing not to know more about the Zauberbiest's qualities and I hope the writers give us more info on them soon.
Your post made me think of a meeting that must take place, given the close proximity of the two, between Sean and his father, King Frederick, maybe someone will start a thread about it. It's sure to be a loving reconciliation if they don't kill each other.
As far as I can tell, the royals are supposed to be exactly what royalty in the real world is. NORMAL people with a superiority complex. The are born rich and privileged and believing that makes them better than the person standing next to them.
To be fair the historic royalty were better educated, trained to lead, to think strategically and that they were responsible for the lives under them. They still took and do take advantage of their positions and wealth. "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" was originally meant about them.
If I had something important to say, I would have mumbled it.
