Despite his brilliance, people within the Akademiya were perplexed by Alhaitham due to his unwillingness to aspire for higher office in spite of his egocentricity, and many have been at odds with him for his uncompromising view on rationality and the truth. He is a man endowed with extraordinary intelligence and talent. He lives free from the searching eyes of ordinary people. Alhaitham is an Eremite who is fuelled by a desire to understand the underlying principles of the world around him. He greatly values the pursuit of knowledge and dislikes meaningless noise and matters that distract or divert him from his chosen pursuits. To this end, while he is unambitious and enjoys leisure, he will do what he deems necessary to maintain a comfortable life. As a result, he is not fond of being a leader, he doesn’t even like being an Acting leader. Alhaitham focuses greatly on himself at all times. However, he does not do so out of a disregard for others; instead, it is a result of his rationality. He believes that as it is impossible to save everyone, it is important to focus on one's own well-being first. As a result, he frequently squabbles with Kaveh due to their contrasting ideals and personalities. Contrary to what his peers think, Alhaitham does not look down upon anyone and tends to give equal weight to everyone, be they human or god. He also places great importance in the value of humanity and has astute insight into human nature. While he does not keep this a secret, he rarely bothers to correct others' unfavourable assumptions unless it would prove more troublesome to allow them to persist. Alhaitham was previously a scholar but moved on and joined the Eremites, only out of necessity.) Eremites(The Eremites are a group of mercenaries who hail from Sumeru's desert region. Most of them are mercenaries by trade and conduct business across Teyvat. They hail from the ancient civilisations of the Great Red Sand. The Eremites are split into multiple factions and tribes, each with their own beliefs and codes of conduct, although these factions are not always mutually exclusive. Their history survives through performing culture and combat style; the members also play instruments, such as a tambourine and a lute-like stringed instrument. As the Eremite mercenaries are loosely organized, anyone can join. Traditionally, only those hailing from the desert can join, but there have been a few exceptions. The Eremites set up camps and tents as their bases.)
