Personality
Growing up, he was cocky and abrasive only bragging of bringing greater glory to family name. When his father was killed, he became calmer and grew mature quickly in the holy hunt. The holy hunts had made him more numb to battle and also more reserved as he tries to make sure not to lose anymore people close to him. He sometimes sees the enemy as nothing more than abominations that may be mere hallucinations or a way to help cope with seeing captured prisoners as nothing more than cattle that are sacrificed to God. The 4 years he served in the crusades war has made him more tired and seeing the chaos of a prolonged war has made him question whether the apparitions he sees are actually real. Mentally he is exhausted and is on a thin rope of losing his sense of self and giving in to his inner demons. May sometimes use dark humour to cope.
