Through a combination of preparing, studying, and analyzing, Malfrost Xeon creates detailed battle plans and tries to think two steps ahead of the enemy. At times, however, this can lead to Malfrost Xeon creating complicated schemes that can baffle less intelligent subordinates.

Given his devotion to his academic studies Malfrost is normally terribly lost and adrift when talking about current culture or popular events; he keeps himself informed of important political and historical trends but he would be at loss to tell you about the most recent Holonet stars and his own forms of entertainment are obscure so as to make this kind of talk very awkward for both parties. He tries his best to latch on to trends as they come and go but this often leaves him using popular language from a few years a go as he is always constantly behind on the recent fads and trends as he tries to keep track of what is relevant in current culture.

Malfrost is a true adherent to the idea of individualism. He believes individuals can only truly become stronger through fighting their own battles and facing their own struggles. He believes Codes, Tenants, Ideals and Principles only tie people down and weaken them. As such, he has an abhorrence to people who submit themselves fully over to Codes, both Light and Dark Side alike. This does not mean Malfrost doesn't believe in anything though, he just understands that in order to believe in something, one must be willing to betray and critique it to better it. In this way he can be seen as being non-aligned, but this doesn't mean he has no predispositions.

Malfrost is, at his core, an Academic. He loves to study the Force and ancient civilizations, collect data, conduct research of all kinds and teach who is willing to listen. Malfrost is more than happy to share with he knows on any subject if asked, often going off on tangents if not stopped; he is prone to insert references or metaphors to historical figures, quirks of language or another interesting academic tidbits into conversations.

His academic work and work for the Shadow Academy often keep Malfrost very busy and as such he has a very irregular sleep cycle; this as resulted in one of his trademarks being the almost constant bags under his eyes, even when well rested and the constant five o clock shadow on his chin. He drinks an unhealthy amount of Caf and is often quite irritable when he goes for a long time without it.

Through careful study and dedication to isolated martial-combat, Malfrost Xeon has turned the act of dueling into an art form. A keen eye and attention to detail allows him the ability to learn their opponent's idiosyncrasies while fighting. Malfrost Xeon then uses his own skills to capitalize on the opponent's weakness. Because of this calculated approach to isolated duels, Malfrost Xeon has a harder time taking on multiple opponents at once at higher skill levels.

Malfrost Xeon vastly prefers ranged combat, taking every opportunity to use skills and Force Powers to disengage from melee and instead fight at range, so much so that he has become competent at staying out of melee in the first place.
