Every legendary story seems to have at least one charming and optimistic character. If that's the case, then it only makes sense that Talis DeMorte has decided to be that person. After all, if everyone is too busy whining and groaning about the negatives, how will anyone ever reach the positive? True, Talis DeMorte's constant belief that things will get better can be terribly grating, especially to pessimists or those just level-headed enough to realize when things truly are going downhill, but Talis DeMorte's constant positive outlook can serve to sometimes spur others to action when it feels like the world just wants them to lay down and die.

Be it during a fight or life in general, moral compass means little to Talis DeMorte. If you don’t want a person harmed, you had better specify. General terms mean nothing to him as Talis DeMorte only deals in specifics. If the rules of a duel say you can’t shoot before the count of three? A grenade over the shoulder is fair game, then. Tell Talis DeMorte to stop someone at all costs, well, you better not be concerned if they’re brought back dead or alive.

Talis DeMorte is a lateral thinker, and when he encounters problems or dilemmas, he is very good at improvising and coming up with alternative solutions. This allows Talis DeMorte to find ways out of situations others might give up on. While these solutions are often not so obvious to others, Talis DeMorte can typically explain and lead others through his plan...as long as they are patient and willing enough to trust him outside thinking.

Talis DeMorte is extremely cocksure and headstrong. Possessing a keen wit and exceptional level of intelligence, Talis DeMorte will often use his superior intellect to humiliate lesser minds. Basically, he is kind of a jerk, and that can sometimes get Talis DeMorte in a bit of trouble.

Through careful study and dedication to isolated martial-combat, Talis DeMorte 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. Talis DeMorte then uses his own skills to capitalize on the opponent's weakness. Because of this calculated approach to isolated duels, Talis DeMorte has a harder time taking on multiple opponents at once at higher skill levels.

When it comes to a fight, some like to posture, some like to act tough, some like to dance around and go through all sorts of fancy footwork. Talis DeMorte? Talis DeMorte doesn't bother with exotic battle stances, intricate maneuvers, or super-secret tactics. Talis DeMorte, when cornered into a fight, prefers the ancient technique of a good kick to the nuts. And if that won't work, either because the enemy is a woman or has balls of steel, Talis DeMorte isn't beyond pulling a few more cheap tricks out of the bag. Granted, Talis DeMorte won't be winning any medals for nobility or any prestige for a unique fighting style or a superb maneuver, but Talis DeMorte will still be winning, the best and most dirty way he knows how.
