As a result of his reckless behavior, Zolt experienced a life changing event which left him uncertain of himself and at odds with the idea of working in a team again. He has the scars to show for it in the form of heavy burns and a cybernetic right arm.

Zolt Kwel looks at any problem he comes across and instead of immediately complaining about it sets out to figuring out a solution. He will work tirelessly to find workarounds or a solution, but can often overthink the resolution and come up with a "fix" that is actually more complex than needed. This driven approach to fixing problems can be helpful at times but grating at others when a simple "restart" would have accomplished the task quicker than re-programming the entire device.

Zolt Kwel tells it like he sees it, when he thinks it; and he doesn't try to sugar coat what he says.

Despite an aversion for physical confrontation, Zolt Kwel has a quick-witted and sharp sense of humour, and never passes up the opportunity to make a quip or jibe about his situation, or to taunt his enemies. While some find Zolt Kwel to be funny and likeable, others do not always respond so warmly, and occasionally Zolt Kwel will get himself into more trouble than he thought when someone takes a joke the wrong way.

While Zolt Kwel avoids combat whenever possible, he has no qualms working with technology under the stress and pressure of combat. Zolt Kwel has trained himself to keep calm and focus intently on Slicing even while taking blaster fire from cover or when placed under time constraints. In truth, Zolt Kwel almost works better when under duress, and actually needs motivation, typically, when Slicing.

Zolt Kwel's passion for technology extends beyond his talent with Slicing. He truly believes that wars can be won with technology, not soldiers, and will always try to avoid direct combat if he can afford it. Instead, he prefers to deploy clever traps with Explosives, or turn technology against others as a weapon. Zolt Kwel would rather overload a circuit breaker to shock a guard into submission than to test his luck with his hands or a blaster. If removed from technology or his gadgets, however, Zolt Kwel can easily be overwhelmed. Fortunately, he has no qualms with throwing a smoke grenade down and running for dear life.
