Aloof, self-absorbed, capricious. Smart, but has a narrow focus. Unobservant of other's worries or cares in relation to his own. Surprisingly laid back with people he likes, insultingly dismissive of those he doesn't. Despite emotional shortcomings, revels in taking responsibility for things such as pets, gardens, etc - anything but people.

Was a refugee from the Reach along with his mother, not long before the Cascade. After she passes, he eventually makes a home for himself in an abandoned castle on the edge of the demonlands. It's here that he creates DG. He decides to try and open a portal back into the Reach: he succeeds, but is fundamentally changed by the process, both physically and psychologically, and is used as a tool for the powers there to establish a permanent connection back to the outside.
