His psyche has been shaped by the tragedy of losing his son. He is haunted by the memory of his son's death and the realization that his once-beloved homeland was capable of such atrocities. This has caused him to become introspective, and he questions the morality of those around him. Despite the tragedy that has defined his life, he remains focused and determined on learning more about the arcane and its moral implications.
In many ways, he embodies a paradox, for he is a wizard who wields the very tool that was so closely linked to the end of his son's life. He walks the path of magic with a heavy heart, haunted by the memories of his past and the choices he made in the past. Yet, he also sees the potential for self improvment in the arcane.
He rarely smiles, and his laughter is a rarity, but when he does, it's a deep, hearty chuckle that catches people off guard.While he may appear aloof or distant, to those who earn his trust find him to be a loyal and dependable ally.
To this day, he remains a man of action, unafraid to act with decisiveness, even though it was once seen as ruthlessness in his youth. As he has progressed deeper into middle age, this trait has evolved and serves the seasoned mage well. However, due to his privileged upbringing, he still struggles to see value in the simple folk. Yet, his long years as a hermit have tempered him into a patient man, capable of understanding and empathizing with those he once looked down upon, most of the times at least.
