Anyone who’s talked to Vlad even remotely, knows that his perpetually angry. Not that he can be blamed, growing up in a place like that. Everyone has their own outlet, and his is anger. A smile is foreign upon his face unless it has a darker meaning. He usually has a rough disposition about him, coming off calloused, cold and brash. Because of his anger he tends to lash out on others, projecting his own temper on the rest of the group. If he were out of the facility, Vlad hopes that some of his anger and resentment would melt away. But while in that building, he is in a constant state of anger, stubbornness and aggression, often taking it out physically with the guards whenever he has the chance and it doesn’t reflective negatively on his brother.

Coming hand in hand with his temper, Vlad tends to be on the impulsive side of things. He’s not one to really think things through like his brother. He doesn’t contemplate the outcome or reciprocations for his actions. When he sees an opportunity, he takes it. When someone makes him upset, he lashes out. When there’s a gap in the guards, he starts a fight. The consequences don’t hit him until they happen, often causing regret. But, he’d never admit that. He impulsiveness isn’t just with actions but words and how he treats others.

Vlad doesn’t have a mental filter for what he says. His thoughts flow forth through him without a thought about how it’d make others feel. Of course, this isn’t quite the issue when Hawke is filtering his words for him. But when he has the availability to speak for himself, they can become quite surprised at his harsh honesty. That combined with his impulsiveness, tends to lead to his foot having a permanent home in his mouth. It is rare that he apologizes for his actions, but on a rare occasion he will apologize for harsh things he’s said. Even if what he said was the truth, just a harsh version of it.

It comes as no surprise that with Vlad’s impulsive and angry nature, that he is rebellious. Rules and Vlad do not mix well. He’s never been one to follow them, especially where the facility is concerned. He has more electrocution scars than he’d care to count from the times he’s disobeyed the guards or lashed out at them. Although his rebellious nature tends to negatively affect Hawke as much of himself, sometimes this isn’t enough to deter him. Aside from his extremely dangerous ability, this is one of the reason Vlad got himself and his brother put into max so quickly. The guards know his nature now and are prepared for it, but that still doesn’t stop him.
