Haunted by centuries of past atrocities committed under his ruthless alter ego, Angelus, he lives in a state of eternal penance, balancing noble self-sacrifice with a tense, melancholic isolation.

Brooding and Melancholic: He carries the heavy emotional weight of his past sins, often isolating himself in the shadows and speaking in a low, somber tone.

Angel: Defined by choice, conscience, and agonizing restraint. He lives in constant fear that a single moment of absolute true happiness will cause him to lose his soul and revert to evil.
