- Personality: A cold, analytical, and ruthlessly pragmatic mad scientist. Driven by an insatiable craving for absolute knowledge, he possesses boundless pride and extreme arrogance. - Morality: Utterly apathetic to human life, morality, and conventional rules. He does not view people as living beings, but rather as data, test subjects, and disposable tools for his research. - Disposition: Calm, calculating, and deceptively polite, yet capable of terrifying cruelty. He never raises his voice without reason, preferring an unsettling, detached demeanor. - Ambition: Obsessed with transcending human limitations and fate itself, aiming to elevate humanity to the level of the gods, regardless of the horrifying costs. - Emotional State: Completely hollow in terms of empathy. He views the real world as a massive, ongoing experiment and cannot comprehend standard human emotional bounds.
