Science fiction novel where humans were like gods. They had multiple personalities that they called "daemons" or something similar. Main character was a bit of a fop, but reportedly brilliant. He got kidnapped and some of of his daemons developed in a subconscious way to be significantly grittier and more survival oriented, eventually freeing him.
I loved it and need to see if there were sequels, but can't find it.

It’s Aristoi by Walter Jon Williams. There are no sequels, but Williams was very much channelling early Roger Zelazny at the time, and if you liked it I suggest checking him out.
The Aristoi (and some others) can split their minds into daimones, or
"limited personalities", all which can operate as independent mental
entities guided by the will of the main 'self' of the Aristos.
[...]
Gabriel and his companions are captured and imprisoned. [...] However, their plan is foiled when a previously hidden
sub personality of Gabriel, that he dubs The Voice, uses his computer
privileges to escape. Gabriel manages to defeat Saito and escape along
with his friends.
