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

Thorn is extremely competitive and strives to become the best at every task he is given. The benefit of this cutthroat approach to life and work is that he will always give 100%, pushing himself to his physical or mental limits to overcome any task. However, Thorn’s overzealous ambition makes him insufferable to all but the most patient of companions, making it difficult to make friends while he either proves successful or utterly fails at being the best.

Thorn's personality was formed after years of observation in the workings of the Galaxy. He understood long ago that power is the most important thing if one wanted lasting glory. Slowly, he developed his personality, comprised of a cold and exacting exterior along with a calm and calculating mind. He is narcissistic, does not shirk from manipulating others and is remorseless. While he may succeed in all his goals, others tend to keep him at a safe distance.

Thorn is able to use honey-sweet words to manipulate people whenever and wherever necessary for meeting his own ends. With his gift of oratory, this becomes easier. He understands what makes a person tick and attacks their weak point without remorse. He manipulates cleverly, without the target finding it out. This has made Thorn quite successful in the political circles. However, his motives can be discerned by those more experienced in statesmanship than him.

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

While his ideal environment is a war room developing complex strategies, Thorn can hold his own in a fight. While he can face down most adversaries with his Dual Vibrowhips,his mind is his greatest weapon. He can think several moves ahead of his enemy making it easier to lure them into a trap or feint thm into a mistake. Still, those with extensive combat training may overwhelm him.
