Rian Taldrya is a fierce persona, shrewd, steadfast, strong. An unwavering force on any stage, may it be combative or political, he carefully measures his actions making sure to account for every possible scenario he might encounter - garnering him the aforementioned moniker. While these traits may be incredibly practical and often life-saving, this perpetual air of patience and foresight surrounding him does not always translate well to the tense situations where one would do better listening to his gut.

Rian has a strong, cheerful attitude and hides whatever worries him by acting optimistic After all if everyone is too busy whining and groaning about the negatives, how will anyone ever reach for the positive? True, Rian Aslar's constant happy-go-lucky attitude can rub people the wrong way, especially pessimists or those just level-headed enough to realize when things truly are going downhill, but exactly this constant positive outlook can serve to sometimes win over others when it feels like the world just wants to run havoc upon them.

Real power is not found running off into combat. Real power lies in understanding who it is you are truly fighting, and how they can be defeated. Once impulsive and fearless, not afraid to push his limits even against insurmountable odds, years spent in the Brotherhood have gradually stripped him of parts of his headstrong personality that earned him the nickname "Ri-guy" from his closest friend, and former Master Shaz'air Taldrya. The boldness, the inescapable tendency to impetuosity: All of that is still there, but it is now covered by the maturity of a man who has come to understand the benefits of patience and foresight.

A natural charmer and connoisseur of the finer things in the galaxy, Rian Taldrya has developed into a mix of academic, scholar, and statesman who has no qualm to utilize everything at his hand ranging from his various knowledge to his impeccable taste, wealth, and intense gravitas to draw those he socializes with to his side. However, these good manners weren't to be mistaken as weakness, as he could change from a generous host to a fearless warrior in a moment.

Beauty lies in even the most contradicting things: The act of a blacksmith methodically bringing down his hammer on the material to work it into a graceful object is a great comparison to Rian Taldrya's approach to combat and can best be described in contradiction: As a man of focus, commitment, and sheer will, his fighting is refined but brutal. Civilized but merciless. Neither does he hesitate or waver in front of an obstacle or a threat until it is resolved or eliminated.

Rian is driven by a fierce dedication to succeed in combat; no matter the mission, no matter the cost. Utterly devoted, he represents a philosophy where the only way to evolve and grew stronger is to spend his life building himself in the image of warfare; utilizing dogmatic training - often too arduous and demanding, both mental and physically - for most of those around him. Rian's philosophy formed a man, whose strength of mind is as impressive as that of his body - for his rank and position require far more than power found in muscle alone.
