Very gruff and doesn't like talking to people whose capabilities he doesn't know. Tends to keep to himself, though does show occasional signs of a dry wit. Is trying to break out of these habits since becoming a Venture Captain. Often found in the wild hunting or in the Grand Lodge training grounds, when not at his lodge in Galt or on an adventure.
