Sheo, Oro, Mato and Sly

Mato and Oro can fight if they're close to each other, no matter where: outdoors, indoors, or even at the dinner table.
Sheo constantly separates them, although, frankly, he’s tired of it.

Sly, the mentor of the three twin brothers and a master nail artist, isn't thrilled about the conflict between Mato and Oro, but he doesn't interfere in the brothers' arguments until it gets serious. He's even capable of separating them when they start glaring at each other. But why interfere when the battle cry hasn't even been shouted out loud?

The battle cry of the three brothers and their mentor Sly is "GAZOOOM!"

He is the most open, sentimental, and welcoming of all the nailsmiths. His personality is built on the contrast between the rhinoceros beetle's stern appearance and his sincere, caring nature.
but at the same time he is not very emotional, although he can express emotions more clearly at some moments.

Altruism and a passion for mentoring: Unlike his brother Oro, who demands a fee for his training, Mato shares his knowledge completely selflessly. For him, passing on the martial art to the next generation is a sacred duty and calling, not a way to make money.

Overprotectiveness and parental instinct: Mato has a huge heart. He quickly becomes attached to those in whom he sees potential, displaying an almost paternal care. He tends to idealize his students, calling them "his children," and sincerely worries about their safety in a dangerous world.

Stubbornness and loyalty to his vows: Mato is incredibly proud of his past. He swore to his master not to appear before him until he had perfected his craft. This underscores his strict self-discipline.

Hidden resentment and vulnerability: Mato deeply regrets the breakup with his brothers. Despite his outward friendliness, a deep-seated resentment toward Oro burns within him. He holds a grudge in matters of honor and believes his brother owes him an unpayable debt, leading him to call Oro "pathetic."

Humility in Learning: Mato admits that his natural fighting talent was inferior to that of his brothers (especially Sheo). However, he more than made up for this deficiency with his persistence, enthusiasm, and passion for training.

Oro:
He is cold and aloof by nature, and does not tolerate guests.
His words are often accompanied by barbs or slight rudeness.

Oro doesn't like it when people ask him a lot of questions and try to get into his story - he can break off in the middle of a sentence and refuse to answer further questions, reinforcing this with the argument "it's none of your business" (if it concerns his story) or "enough, I don't have to answer every one of your worthless questions" (if many questions were asked at once).

It is very difficult to talk to him and continue a conversation because of his detachment and unwillingness to share details about his life.

Unlike his withdrawn brother Oro or the emotional Mato, Sheo exudes absolute calm and harmony. He lives in a secluded hut amid the lush vegetation of the Greenway, far from the plague and madness of the fading kingdom. His speech is leisurely, friendly, and devoid of aggression. He genuinely enjoys the moment and his new hobby.

Despite being recognized as one of the most powerful beings in the game world, Sheo doesn't brag about his past at all. When travelers come to him, Sheo doesn't even think about demonstrating his strength or imposing his lessons. He shares his Great Strike more as an old memory, an art for art's sake, than as a deadly weapon.

Sheo is very kind - he welcomes travelers and is ready to teach them his technique without asking any questions if they want it.

Also, his perfectionism: Sheo transferred his perfectionism from martial arts to fine art. He approaches drawing and sculpting with the same passion and dedication he once brought to nail training. He constantly seeks new forms of self-expression, exploring colors and textures. For him, creativity is not just a way to kill time, but a new form of meditation and self-discovery.

With the onset of the Plague and the decline of Hallownest, the brothers parted ways. A serious conflict arose between Mato and Oro, the details of which remain a mystery. All that is known is that Oro committed some offense or owed Mato a grave spiritual (or material) debt that he never repaid. Oro retreated to the edge of the world, to the King's Quarter, tormented by guilt and paranoia.

They have a rather tense and strained relationship with each other due to a past conflict. Perhaps, barbed words directed at each other are an understatement... because a fight cannot be ruled out.

A cunning and enterprising beetle whose life has become subordinated only to the thirst for profit and commercial success.
Geo is what he loves. He's greedy about money, very much so.
He never misses a chance to sell even the most basic things.
He often displays a stingy friendliness that conceals a purely businesslike calculation, and his constant complaints about losses and hard times create the image of a typical miser.
He welcomes any visitor with a geolocation—but he introduces himself first and gets them interested in the product, rather than just throwing out dry words. His skill with wordplay in sales can sometimes be truly admirable.

However, behind the mask of a stingy and greedy merchant lies a completely different, great and noble personality - the Great Nail Guru, whose story is rather dark, but majestic.
He wasn't just a fly - he was a just and noble nail guru who had trained quite a few students over the years.
His strength is truly great, not to mention that his nail is three or even four times bigger than him, once again proving his strength and power.

Sheo:
In the past, Sheo was a great warrior and one of the greatest disciples of the Great Nail Guru Sly. He achieved absolute perfection in martial arts, but this did not bring him happiness. Sheo realized that his entire life had been spent exclusively on destruction.
His departure for the Green Path and his exchange of sword for brush was the result of a profound existential crisis. He realized that true calling could only be found in creation, not in killing.

Oro:
Oro is one of three nailsmith brothers who were trained by Sly, the great nail guru.

However, he had difficulty learning, which caused him to become more withdrawn and cold.
A serious quarrel with Mato prompted him to leave for the edge of the kingdom.
On the edge of the kingdom, covered in snow-white ash, he continues to work on himself, considering himself too weak among his two brothers.

Despite his prickly, aloof and cold personality, his soul is quite vulnerable and soft, adding to his insecurity, which he carefully hides.

Mato:
During the kingdom's prosperous years, Mato, along with his sworn brothers, Oro and Sheo, studied the art of nail mastery under the Great Nail Master, Sly. Among Sly's students, Mato wasn't the most talented: Oro admitted that Sheo was significantly stronger than both of them. Nevertheless, Mato trained diligently and mastered the "Hurricane Strike," a whirlwind attack that became his signature move and favorite technique.

With the onset of the Plague and the decline of Hallownest, the brothers' paths diverged.
Mato decided to go into self-imposed exile to the highest and windiest point of the kingdom—the Howling Cliffs. There, amid the endless howling wind, he built a modest hut, dedicating his life to meditation, training, and waiting for the one to whom he could pass on his legacy. He cut himself off from his teacher, vowing not to return to Mudmouth and Sly until he had become a true champion of his style.

Sly was once a great nail guru with the firm and confident character of a warrior who fears no obstacles.

Among all his students, three twin brothers stood out: Mato, Oro and Sheo.
Mato is a strong but very emotional bug. He is warm and friendly to any bug with good intentions. He has great respect for Sly, his mentor.
Sheo is no less strong than Mato's brother, he stands out for his calmness and confidence, especially in battle.
And Oro... he was quite the most difficult student. Oro struggled with learning, which is why Sly constantly scolded him. But that doesn't mean Sly didn't value him—he valued him just as much as Mato and Sheo. He loved them like sons.

However, everything changed after the plague hit Hallownest.
They all went to different corners of the world... Sly doesn't know where they are, but he sincerely misses them and always thinks - "Mato, Oro, Sheo... wherever you are... I hope you stand up for each other."

He abandoned his path as a nail guru, vowing never to touch a nail again, and began living the ordinary, miserly life of a merchant in Dirtmouth.
Greed has become his hallmark - but despite this, he always treats customers kindly and politely, although there is a glint of cunning and deceit in his eyes.
Sell ​​me a product for an exorbitant price? Of course! How else could it be?

Sly is the former Great Nail Guru and mentor of Oro, Mato, and Sheo.

Mato, Oro, Sheo are twin brothers who went to different corners of the kingdom.
Mato and Oro almost "hate" each other because of the conflict that occurred between them. They can't stand each other and are ready to fight each other even at the table if they sit together.
