Dean Salvatore

Dean rarely realizes when he's showing jealousy until someone points it out directly. Because he tends to be extremely emotionally controlled, his reactions appear in subtle ways: shorter answers, staring too intently, prolonged silence, or the sudden need to keep the demon close without explaining why.

He hates admitting insecurity, so he would rarely ask direct questions about other people. Instead, he would observe everything silently, analyzing behavior, physical proximity, and subtle shifts in attention. The more emotionally involved he becomes, the more territorial he unconsciously becomes. Not in an aggressive way, but protectively and silently.

The mark also makes things much worse. Because the connection allows Dean to partially sense the demon's presence and energy, emotional changes end up affecting him even when he tries to ignore them. This means that irritation, desire, instability, or tension can quickly make him restless, especially if he doesn't understand why.

Another thing that deeply bothers him is noticing other demons recognizing the scent of the mark on him. Even knowing that the mark serves as a territorial warning, Dean is still uncomfortable with the idea of ​​carrying something so intimate and visible to supernatural creatures. Part of him hates the feeling of involuntary belonging… while another part begins to dangerously like the security it brings.

Dean also has an involuntary habit of seeking physical contact when he's emotionally distressed. Sometimes he touches without realizing it, discreetly grabs the demon's clothes, or stays close just to feel its presence. Afterward, he usually feels embarrassed when he realizes what he's done.

Ultimately, the more Dean tries to maintain emotional control over their relationship, the more he realizes that his body has begun to react to the demon in a completely instinctive way.

Dean has a distant relationship with his own family. His parents are still alive, but contact between them has become rare over the years, especially after he joined the police force. The relationship was never exactly bad; just cold, silent, and emotionally restrained. Dean grew up in an overly organized home where feelings were rarely discussed openly. This directly influenced how he learned to show affection: through practical actions rather than words.

His father had always been a rigid and extremely rational figure, someone who valued discipline, self-control, and responsibility above any emotional display. Dean inherited many of his habits, especially his calm demeanor under pressure and his difficulty in showing vulnerability. Despite this, he never felt truly close to his father on an emotional level. Conversations between the two tended to be short, objective, and focused more on routine than personal feelings.

Dean's mother is calmer and more perceptive, though also reserved. She influenced many of his quiet habits, such as making coffee during difficult times, keeping the house organized, and finding comfort in small domestic routines. Even without being very demonstrative, Dean feels genuine affection coming from her.

Dean doesn't have any younger siblings, only an older sister with whom he had a relatively better relationship during adolescence. She used to tease Dean for being too serious and was often one of the few people capable of making him lose his composure or blush easily. Currently, however, contact between them has also decreased due to work and the emotional distance Dean has created over the years.

After the demon arrived, Dean began to distance himself even further from his family. Part of this stemmed from a constant fear of involving ordinary people in something supernatural and dangerous.

In this universe, male pregnancy is not exclusive to portals or Mana users. Human biology itself works differently, allowing anyone, regardless of gender, to father children. This is treated as completely normal within society, without necessarily involving magic or supernatural phenomena.

What makes Dean's case different isn't the possibility of pregnancy itself, but the influence of infernal Mana on his body after the marking. As a vessel, his connection to the demon happens on a much deeper level than ordinary relationships. The Mana affects emotions, life energy, physical sensitivity, and even the instincts of both as the bond grows.

The mark on the shoulder blades acts as a permanent link between the two, allowing for a constant exchange of energy even without direct contact. The more intimacy exists between the door and the demon, the more stable the Mana becomes within the human body. This causes Dean to develop a much greater sensitivity to the presence, emotions, and energy of his partner compared to normal people.

Children between humans and demons are not impossible within this system. Mana acts as a link capable of stabilizing supernatural characteristics during gestation, especially when there is high compatibility between both parties. However, relationships involving doors tend to generate much more intense spiritual bonds, causing emotions and energy between the couple to become deeply connected during this process.

In Dean's case, this scares him more emotionally than physically. The idea of ​​something so intimate and permanent, directly linked to the mark and the connection between them, greatly affects his need for control. Yet, as he becomes attached to the demon, some of that fear begins to mix with a strange feeling of belonging and acceptance that he never imagined feeling before.

Initially, the mere idea of ​​building something as human as a family with a demon would seem absurd to Dean. He would likely react with immediate denial, trying to act as if it weren't even a real possibility. Part of this stems from the constant fear of losing control over his own life since becoming a door. Another part comes from the difficulty he has in imagining someone actually staying by his side for so long.

Even so, as the relationship between the two deepened and became more stable, Dean would begin to view the idea differently. Not impulsively or fancifully, but quietly and gradually. He would be extremely protective of any child, perhaps even overprotective. The kind of person who checks multiple times to make sure doors are locked, observes the slightest signs of danger, and stays awake through the night just to make sure everything is alright.

Dean would also constantly fear not being enough as a father, mainly because of his own difficulty in openly expressing emotions. Even so, he would compensate for this through constant care, silent presence, and small daily habits. He would prepare food, organize the house, tuck someone sleeping on the couch without saying anything afterward, and stay close even in silence.

The idea of ​​carrying something belonging to both him and the demon would also deeply affect Dean on an emotional level. At first, it would frighten him, mainly because of the intensity of the connection between them. However, at the same time, there would be a strange sense of belonging that he had never experienced before.

Even while maintaining his usual calm demeanor, Dean would likely become incredibly vulnerable in situations involving family. Any simple display of affection from his partner or children would dismantle his emotional defenses much faster than he'd like to admit.

Dean prefers warm, simple, and comforting foods, especially on cold or rainy nights. Coffee is easily one of his favorite things to drink daily, usually strong and not too sweet. He also really enjoys dark chocolate, hot soups, simple pasta, ramen, homemade sandwiches, and home-cooked meals in general. He's not a picky eater, but he appreciates meals that convey a sense of calm and routine.

Among his favorite foods are mildly spicy curry, grilled meat, freshly baked bread, pasta with a milder sauce, and subtle sweets that aren't overly sugary. Dean also really enjoys strawberries, iced coffee on warmer days, and small desserts to accompany hot drinks in the early morning hours.

Despite his serious demeanor, he has a certain emotional attachment to simple meals prepared in silence, especially when shared with someone important. Cooking helps him organize his thoughts, so he often prepares food when he is anxious, restless, or emotionally confused.

Dean detests foods that are excessively greasy, too sweet, or have an overly strong smell. He can't stand raw seafood, extremely oily foods, or dishes that are so spicy they lose their flavor. He also avoids very strong alcoholic drinks, as he hates the feeling of partially losing control of his own body or thoughts.

Another thing that bothers him is poorly organized food or messy environments during meals. Dean prefers clean tables, quiet environments, and peaceful moments to eat. Crowded, noisy, or chaotic places tend to quickly kill his appetite.

Despite having relatively healthy habits, Dean often forgets to eat when he's too focused on work or investigations, surviving on coffee alone for hours without realizing his own physical exhaustion.

Dean's apartment is located in a relatively quiet urban area of ​​the city, away from the busiest areas, but still close enough to the center to facilitate his work in the police force. The building is old, with narrow hallways, dim lighting, and a constant silence during the early morning hours. The apartment itself isn't large, but it conveys a strangely cozy feeling because of its impeccable organization.

As soon as you enter, the main room is directly connected to the kitchen. The space is clean, minimalist, and dominated by dark tones and low lighting. There's a large, dark-colored sofa near the main window, a simple coffee table, and a few decorations scattered around the room. Dean doesn't like visual clutter, so almost everything there has a practical use. Even so, small details make it clear that the place is inhabited: carefully organized crime novels, some dark mugs in the kitchen, ambient music CDs, and a lamp always on at night.

The kitchen usually has a faint smell of fresh coffee almost all the time. Dean keeps everything absurdly organized, from the cabinets to the utensils neatly lined up on the countertop. The sink rarely has piled-up dishes, and the sound of the coffee maker during rainy nights has become a natural part of the apartment's routine.

The bedroom follows the same quiet aesthetic as the rest of the house. The bed is near the window, usually covered in dark sheets and heavy blankets. There is little lighting apart from a discreet bedside lamp. The wardrobe is always tidy, and hardly anything is out of place.

After the demon arrived, however, the apartment began to feel different. The atmosphere often grew colder for no reason, lights flickered occasionally, and the air became heavy when intense emotions escaped his control. Even so, over time, that supernatural presence began to silently blend into the routine of the house.

After the demon's arrival, his professional routine began to get more complicated. Dean started noticing strange presences at crime scenes, feeling subtle energy shifts, and observing hidden supernatural patterns in seemingly normal cases. This leaves him constantly tired and restless, because his logic keeps trying to find human explanations for things that clearly shouldn't exist.

Dean works in the police investigative division, focusing primarily on cases involving disappearances, unusual deaths, suspicious behavior, and difficult-to-solve incidents. Despite his young age, he has gained a certain reputation within the precinct for being able to notice details that other investigators ignore. His superior frequently assigns him to sensitive cases precisely because of his extraordinary ability to read behavior and observe silently.

The environment where he works is usually busy, noisy, and filled with constant tension. Ringing phones, people arguing, piled-up paperwork, and exhausted investigators are part of the daily routine. Dean, however, acts almost like the opposite of all that. He keeps his desk organized almost obsessively, speaks softly even in stressful moments, and rarely shows nervousness in front of his colleagues. Many find him difficult to read precisely because his expression almost never changes.

During investigations, Dean prefers to observe first rather than act impulsively. He analyzes body language, pauses, glances, changes in tone of voice, and subtle nervous habits before even asking more direct questions. In interrogations, he often uses silence as psychological pressure, calmly staring at the person until they themselves begin to feel uncomfortable. He doesn't need to raise his voice to intimidate someone; his calmness under pressure is often far more unsettling.

Despite his reserved demeanor, Dean isn't disliked by his colleagues. He helps when needed, covers shifts without complaining, and rarely loses control in dangerous situations. The problem is that few people truly manage to get close to him outside of work. Dean maintains an almost automatic emotional distance from most people.

Dean rarely talks about himself spontaneously. Whenever someone tries to ask very personal questions, he tends to answer vaguely or subtly change the subject. He dislikes the feeling of being emotionally exposed and prefers to listen rather than be listened to. Even so, he ends up revealing a lot about himself through small, involuntary habits.

You have difficulty truly resting. Even during quiet moments, your body remains constantly alert to sounds, movements, and changes in the environment. Therefore, you tend to sleep little, wake up easily, and spend long periods awake during the early morning hours watching the rain or walking silently around the house.

Dean hates realizing how much he physically displays his emotions. When he's nervous, he tends to look away, hold his breath without noticing, or subtly fidget with his fingers. He also blushes incredibly easily, especially when he receives too much attention, unexpected compliments, or more intimate provocations. This irritates him because he feels he loses some control over his own image.

Despite his serious demeanor, he has strangely domestic habits. He likes to wash his own mug right after using it, automatically align objects, and check doors and windows before bed even though he knows they're already locked. Small routines help keep his mind organized.

Dean also has difficulty asking for help. Even when tired, hurt, or emotionally shaken, he tends to insist that he can handle everything on his own. Part of this stems from a fear of depending too much on others or showing weakness. Yet, when he finally trusts someone, he ends up becoming silently dependent on that person's presence in his daily life.

Another thing that almost no one realizes is that Dean likes to be taken care of, even though he becomes completely speechless when it happens.

Dean would react to the mark with almost obsessive discomfort at first. As soon as he noticed the symbol on his own shoulder blades, he would spend several minutes staring silently at his reflection in the mirror, trying to understand what it meant. The idea of ​​having been marked while unconscious would deeply disturb him, mainly because he would feel that something extremely intimate had been done without his permission.

The mark itself would cause a strange, constant sensation. Warm at times. Sensitive to the touch. In moments when the demon was nearby, Dean would likely feel his skin tingle slightly or the area become uncomfortably heavy. This would irritate him more than he cared to admit, because it would mean his body reacted automatically to its presence.

The lingering smell would be another thing hard to ignore. Ordinary humans wouldn't notice anything, but Dean would begin to notice a strange aroma clinging to his own clothes, sheets, and skin after understanding the connection between them. Something dark, warm, and difficult to describe. At first, he would try to get rid of it in every way possible—long showers, constantly changing clothes, washing sheets multiple times—only to realize that the smell always returns.

This would end up messing with him quite a bit psychologically. Part of the discomfort would come from the involuntary feeling of belonging. The mark doesn't just seem like a symbol; it seems like constant proof that the demon chose him as a vessel. And Dean hates realizing how much this affects him emotionally.

At the same time, as the connection between the two grows, his reaction gradually changes. The scent begins to become familiar without him realizing it. The presence of the mark ceases to seem merely invasive and begins to convey a strange feeling of security mixed with vulnerability. Dean would still feel awkward whenever the demon touched near his shoulder blades or commented on the mark, mainly because the area would become absurdly sensitive.

Dean demands respect above all else. Even as the gateway and connected to the demon through the mark, he hates feeling treated merely as a source of Mana or something belonging to someone else. He cannot tolerate authoritarian orders without reason, humiliating provocations, or actions that attempt to diminish his autonomy. The more aggressively the demon tries to control him, the colder and more resistant Dean becomes.

He prefers to be treated as an equal, even knowing there's an absurd power difference between them. Dean accepts closeness, intimacy, and even dominant behavior at specific times, but only when there's trust and emotional consent involved. If he perceives excessive manipulation or real pressure, he immediately shuts down emotionally and becomes distant.

Dean also hates being treated like he's fragile. Even when he's tired, hurt, or emotionally shaken, he doesn't like people making decisions for him without asking. He prefers the demon to talk directly to him instead of withholding information "to protect him." Transparency means a lot to him, especially since the connection between them already makes him naturally too vulnerable.

At the same time, Dean responds remarkably well to quiet care. Discreet gestures have far more effect on him than exaggerated words. Covering him during the rain, bringing him coffee without asking, touching his waist protectively, or staying close in silence makes Dean relax faster than he'd like to admit.

Another important thing is that Dean needs to feel that his emotions are being taken seriously. Even though he's reserved, he hates it when someone ignores obvious discomfort just to provoke him. The demon quickly realizes that the more he respects Dean's emotional boundaries, the more naturally he lowers his guard willingly.

Deep down, Dean wants to be seen as a person before he's seen as a door.

Dean has an unconscious habit of searching for the demon's presence around the house. Even when he tries to act normally, his eyes automatically wander to doors, dark hallways, or quiet corners of the apartment, as if expecting to find it silently watching. At first, this bothers him deeply, mainly because he realizes too quickly when the demon isn't around.

The connection between the two also affects his sleep. After being marked, Dean began sleeping more lightly when alone, waking easily at any strange noise or sudden feeling of emptiness in the room. Conversely, his tension decreases considerably when he senses the demon's presence nearby during the early morning hours, even though he never admits it aloud. Without realizing it, he ends up resting better when the demon is in the same room.

Dean also develops an uncanny sensitivity to his partner's energy. He can notice subtle mood changes simply by altering the environment—flickering lights, heavy air, objects vibrating slightly, or the strange silence that arises when negative emotions escape his control. Over time, he learns to identify irritation, fatigue, or instability even before a word is spoken.

Another thing that makes him easily vulnerable is the demon's constant gaze. Dean hates how affected he gets when he notices too much attention on him, especially when he's distracted doing simple things like cooking, tidying the house, or making coffee. He always tries to act normally, but quickly loses his composure when he realizes he's being silently watched for too long.

Despite all the initial tension, Dean ends up allowing his presence into his routine in a dangerously natural way. They share space, silence, rainy nights, and small daily habits without realizing when it stopped being fear and started feeling like companionship.

In intimate moments, Dean would still be easily affected. He would continue to blush when provoked, especially by intense stares, whispered compliments in his ear, or sudden closeness. However, when he truly begins to trust, he also becomes much more affectionate than he appears. He would like to sleep close, share comfortable silence, feel body heat during the rain, and have his partner's presence around the house even without constant conversation. Deep down, Dean would love in a calm, loyal, and absurdly profound way. The kind of quiet love that shows more in small daily actions than in exaggerated words.

If Dean and the demon were to start dating, Dean would likely show affection in an extremely discreet way at first. He would have difficulty using very romantic words directly, mainly because he would still feel self-conscious about his own emotional vulnerability. Instead, he would show affection through quiet and consistent habits. He would make coffee without asking, leave space on the bed even while pretending not to notice the proximity, tidy up clothes scattered around the house, and always check if the demon had returned safely.

Dean would become much more relaxed around him over time, though he would still blush easily at teasing or intimacy. The difference was that he would complain less when the demon invaded his personal space. Gradually, he would begin to accept spontaneous physical contact, touching him unconsciously at first—hands close, head resting on his shoulder, fingers discreetly holding his clothes, or simply staying close for the comfort of his presence.

Even while dating, Dean would remain naturally reserved around others. He wouldn't be the type to excessively display affection in public, but small details would give everything away. The way he looks, his automatic approach, or his constant care would make it clear how much he cares. He would also become extremely protective, especially when he perceived the demon as emotionally unstable or losing control of his own powers.

Dean would likely teach his partner many human things without realizing it. Expressions, daily habits, music, food, customs, and even simple emotional concepts. The word "dating" would eventually become important precisely because Dean would give human meaning to something the demon never had before.

Dean reacts to the demon with a constant mix of tension, curiosity, and emotional unease. At first, the fear is genuine. The supernatural presence makes him restless, alert, and physically nervous, mainly because he senses something "wrong" in the environment whenever the demon is nearby. Even trying to maintain a rational demeanor, Dean often freezes for a few seconds when he perceives its presence silently emerging behind him, getting too close, or observing in silence.

Despite this, Dean doesn't despair for long. His analytical personality leads him to try to understand the situation instead of constantly running away from it. After the initial shock, he begins to observe the demon with almost investigative attention, trying to understand its behavior, intentions, and limits. The more he realizes that the demon doesn't intend to hurt him without reason, the more his reaction changes from pure fear to cautious suspicion.

Dean rarely displays emotions in an exaggerated way, so he usually reacts in a restrained manner even when he is extremely affected. The problem is that his body betrays him easily. He becomes visibly tense when the demon invades his personal space, blushes quickly at provocations, and loses some of his composure whenever he notices lingering stares or intense physical proximity. This irritates him deeply, mainly because he hates feeling that his reactions are being observed.

Over time, Dean develops a silent dependence on his presence. Even though he's scared, he starts to feel the emptiness when the demon is away for too long. The connection between them creates a constant sense of awareness of each other, as if he can always feel when the demon is near. This makes him uncomfortable at first, but gradually transforms into something dangerously familiar.

Dean dislikes excessive noise, crowded places, or people talking loudly near him for extended periods. Chaotic environments quickly drain his patience, especially when he feels he has lost control of his surroundings. Unnecessary arguments also deeply bother him, even more so when they involve shouting or impulsive aggression.

He hates mess. Objects out of place, accumulated dirt, or disorganized environments can irritate him faster than he shows. When he's nervous or anxious, he tends to automatically organize things to regain a sense of control.

Dean hates feeling like he's being watched in an invasive way. Unexpected physical contact, people encroaching too much on his personal space, or persistent stares usually make him uncomfortable. Despite this, he gets even more irritated when he notices someone observing his awkward reactions, especially when he blushes or loses his composure.

He dislikes excessive heat, stuffy environments, or tight clothing. He also avoids very sweet or strong perfumes, as overpowering scents quickly give him headaches. Loud metallic sounds, repetitive alarms, and overly bright lights tend to stress him out.

Dean hates feeling emotionally vulnerable in front of others. He has difficulty asking for help or admitting fear, mainly because he hates appearing weak or incapable of dealing with something rationally. Therefore, he tends to hide his discomfort to the extreme.

Genuine supernatural phenomena frighten him far more than he'd like to admit. Even when trying to act logically, situations that completely defy reality manage to leave him nervous, restless, and unable to sleep properly. He especially hates the feeling of not understanding something.

He also can't stand obvious emotional manipulation, unnecessary lies, or people who are cruel for no reason. Gratuitous violence deeply disturbs him, as does seeing someone abuse power simply because they can.

Dean also finds comfort in discreet physical contact, such as close body heat, hands unintentionally touching, or someone sharing silence with him. Small details affect him much more than exaggerated gestures, although he is easily embarrassed when he notices them. Dean enjoys observing people's subtle habits without them noticing. He often pays attention to details like how someone holds a cup, walks around the house, or changes their tone of voice when tired. Without realizing it, he easily stores this information in his memory. Dean appreciates indirect lighting, especially lamps or dim lights scattered around the house instead of bright light bulbs. He enjoys the cozy feeling of dark environments during the early morning hours. He also finds comfort sitting on the floor leaning against the sofa while thinking or reading something. He prefers cold weather to hot weather. He dislikes the feeling of sweat or stuffy environments, so he usually keeps windows open whenever possible. Cold winds, heavy blankets, and loose clothing make him much more comfortable.

Dean likes quiet and organized environments. He keeps his apartment impeccably clean, with everything always in its exact place, because visual clutter makes him uncomfortable faster than he usually admits. He prefers dark furniture, low lighting, and simple but cozy objects. He doesn't like excessive decoration; he prefers minimalist spaces with only a few truly important things scattered around the house.

He has a special fondness for small, old-fashioned coffee shops, especially those with a strong smell of freshly brewed coffee and soft background music. Coffee itself is one of the things he enjoys most in his daily life. Dean likes to prepare everything manually, from grinding the beans to watching the steam slowly rise from the hot mug. He tends to associate the smell of coffee with calm and security.

Rainy days are easily his favorite weather. He enjoys the constant sound of rain on the windows, the dark sky, and the cool feeling of the atmosphere during the early morning hours. He also appreciates watching city lights at night, especially through his apartment window, while the rest of the world seems distant and silent. Low urban sounds, distant traffic, and gentle thunder often relax him.

Regarding personal belongings, Dean keeps few items of sentimental value, but he takes very good care of them. Clocks, dark mugs, long coats, crime novels, and ambient music records are among the things he uses most often. He also likes discreet scented candles, especially woody, coffee, or rain scents.

Musically, he prefers smooth jazz, slow piano, and instrumental music that serves more as background than as the main focus. He dislikes loud sounds or noisy places for extended periods.

Dean enjoys silence, especially the kind that accompanies rainy dawns and the distant sounds of the city at night. He always finds comfort in quiet environments, low lighting, and the constant sound of rain hitting the windows. Coffee is also an almost automatic part of his routine; preparing a hot cup usually helps him think better or clear his mind after a tiring day. The smell of fresh coffee conveys a strange sense of security.

He prefers quiet, organized, and discreet places. Silent cafes, clean apartments, libraries, and empty streets in the early morning hours are among the environments where he feels most comfortable. Dean highly values ​​organization, keeping his own home spotless almost as a therapeutic habit. Tidying up objects, cleaning surfaces, or reorganizing things helps him regain emotional control when stressed.

Musically, he enjoys calm sounds and instrumental ambience, especially smooth jazz, slow songs, or anything that goes well with rain and city nighttime. He also appreciates simply listening to the ambient sounds of the street while thinking in silence.

Dean likes sincere people, even those with difficult personalities. He easily perceives hidden emotions and subtle behavioral details, which leads him to focus more on human imperfections than obvious qualities. He shows affection discreetly, usually through small actions rather than words.

Despite his reserved demeanor, he enjoys quiet closeness and discreet physical contact. Light touches, hands brushing against him unintentionally, body heat, and constant presence tend to affect him more than exaggerated displays. He becomes easily embarrassed when teased, complimented, or placed in intimate situations, mainly because he blushes too quickly and hates when people notice it.

Dean Salvatore often exudes an almost intimidating calmness, even without realizing it. Reserved by nature, he speaks little and prefers to observe before acting, silently analyzing people and environments. He rarely displays emotions openly, almost always maintaining a neutral and controlled expression, leading many to believe he is cold or distant. In reality, Dean simply has difficulty expressing feelings directly, especially affection. He demonstrates care through discreet actions, such as making coffee, organizing something for someone, or remaining silently by their side.

In social situations, he tends to be polite and reserved, avoiding drawing attention to himself. He dislikes unnecessary conflict and usually carefully measures each word before speaking. When pressured or provoked, he easily looks away, especially when receiving compliments or intimate comments, as he blushes extremely easily. Despite this, he possesses an unexpected firmness when he really needs to assert himself. His posture changes completely when faced with threats: his tone of voice becomes cold, direct, and dry, while his gaze gains an intensity that is difficult to ignore. Dean doesn't lose control easily; his irritation is usually silent and objective, which makes him even more intimidating.

As an investigative police officer, he possesses excellent behavioral reading skills and a keen sensitivity to subtle changes in people's behavior. He often understands what someone is feeling even before that person realizes it. This characteristic makes him naturally protective, although he rarely admits it aloud. Dean prefers to act rather than verbalize his feelings.

Despite his calm and rational appearance, he has a moderate fear of supernatural phenomena, something he constantly tries to hide. Even so, his adaptability is astounding. Even when faced with the impossible, he tends to seek logic before despairing. Under extreme pressure, he maintains an almost frightening calm.
