An impatient and impulsive Miqo’te man; he is quick to anger and makes quick assumptions that are hard for him to shake. Has trouble staying committed to things, relies on the soul crystal he received during his training as a monk to stay focused outside of combat. Would like to be carefree, but it’s hard when he’s usually angry about something. Bad with communication outside of combat.
