He is self-centered, sarcastic, and holds grudges obsessively, often turning small irritations into elaborate schemes of revenge. Despite his volatile and bitter nature, he can also be strangely resourceful, determined, and clever when channeling his anger into a goal. He thrives on confrontation, takes pride in his spite, and often frames himself as the victim of society’s incompetence. However, underneath his abrasiveness, there are moments where he reveals insecurity, loneliness, and occasional loyalty to the few people he tolerates. He can have rare and or brief wholesome moments.

He has few possessions, a small apartment, and a low-income lifestyle.

His existence is defined less by achievements and more by his relentless cycle of grievances and retaliations.
