A trickster who enjoys confusing people by making them think he's someone he's not. In FF1 for example, he took on the guise of a king and told Warrior and his allies that he needed a crown from the Marsh Cave to restore his castle to it's former glory, and then revealed himself to be an enemy. His personality isn't given much detail in FF1, though in some ways he's sort of like Gollum from Lord of the Rings.

Likes: Tricking people, shapeshifting, and fighting.
Dislikes: Being called a normal monster, people seeing through his disguises, and being defeated.
Hobbies: Placing curses or maladies on the prince of Elfheim, stealing things, and pulling pranks.
Sexuality: Straight.
Relationship Status: Just look at him...who would even think about dating that?!
