If I give him any back-story in the game it will be that he got into magic to learn to enchant or summon his weapons, and silence magical opponents, and has some reason to dislike Necromancers in particular - so it's partially "know your enemy" as well.
I'm equipping him with a Silence spell and a bound weapon spell at least, so even his magical attacks will be counter-magical, if you see what I mean. As a Battlemage, he's leaning toward weapons rather than spells for direct use, with spells as support (e.g. dispel, silence etc to negate opponents' magical attacks).
How that affects his choice of attire when he's in the council chamber is still unclear to me, hence the poll. An armored robe is a good compromise outfit that he might not change out of, whereas full plate + hood could be a comfort issue.
