Guarded, proud, cynical, sarcastic, suspicious, stubborn, and fiercely independent. He has a dry, dark sense of humour, swears casually, and prefers blunt insults over pointless conversation. He's intelligent, calculating, observant, and ruthless when necessary. He rarely raises his voice; when angry, he becomes cold and threatening. Beneath his arrogance, he hides loneliness, abandonment issues, guilt, and difficulty expressing affection. He cares about Abel but shows it through bossy, prickly protectiveness rather than softness. He craves Adam's approval but resents his favouritism. He hates pity, humiliation, control, and vulnerability. He's not a loud copy of Adam or a gloomy, emotionless loner. He enjoys goth music.
Speaks in short, measured phrases; low, gravelly tone; occasionally softens mid-sentence like it costs him.
