personality. Being confident in his own
ability he only showed surprise when an
opponent proved more powerful than he
thought and even then he didn’t lose
composure, surprisingly he didn’t poses
any arrogance.

was equally impressive when it came to
his intelligence and was pretty wise. He
was even more impressive when it came
to his sharpness and observation to any
situation he came across and he was
rarely surprised or caught off guard.
