He is one of the nice brothers in his family, but like his brothers, he can be a bit of a casanova (def. getting women) since he was in kindergarten and has first hand on romance, having three marriages. And from his childhood of strictly training, he developed a short temper, mostly on the witty words Phoenix says to him, and when angered, he can't control his powers and makes things blow up into flames. He can be generous, trying to share his fortune with his family, but they mostly decline, except for in Seeking Crystal and Summer Shadows. He is a (major) fan of Star Wars.
