"Monsieur le Duc is a man of science, he likes to think of himself as a philosopher; but between us, his biggest disappointment was never being part of the stage, don't be surprised by his theatrical ways, it is his only consolation."

At first sight an affable and smiling man, it is easy to see that it is only a mask he wears in society. He will not necessarily open himself to others, but he knows how to make himself appreciated, perhaps by his education, his erudition and possibly, the traces of kindness he wants to show. He can play many roles for the purpose of manipulation and it is often difficult to disentangle the honest from the fake in him.

If Oz knows how to present a pleasant face when necessary, he does not appreciate the company of others, and considers all worldliness as a chore to which he must unfortunately comply in view of his ducal obligations, playing roles is part of his ways of make it less painful. He is an introvert who rarely shows his true nature to others, if he only has a more authantic face to show, he has many facets that form a whole. He is sometimes morose and austere, very little inclined to conversation, even less to lend the slightest service. He is then cold and acerbic, and prefers to spend time to his studies and experiments, quickly becoming disagreeable if someone comes to disturb him. He will sometimes be softer, more expressive too and seem less devoid of feelings than he lets on. He will then appreciate a discussion over a cup of tea, or a game of chess - which he is almost certain to win. He knows how to show attention and affection towards others even if this remains the exception. In general, he appears rather tired and introspective.

Eager to know, if there is none subjects that does not interest him, science, alchemy and magic are his favorite ones. He is a perfectionist, and often very dissatisfied with his own work. He abhors physical exertion and would much rather leave these tasks to his servants - or anyone else for that matter. Far from being a sentimentalist, and even less concerned with morality, he does not care about the repercussions of his actions, as long as he deems them useful for his research, so using others as guinea pigs is a practice that does not put him off. Likewise, he is a cautious man who carefully considers his options and watches his opponents, ready to pull the rug out from under them before they can harm him. He shows very little mercy in general.

Although generally very patient and calm, only expressing his annoyance with a few sighs, he tends to internalize everything, also making him very soupy and unpredictable, it is difficult to see the limit not to be exceeded with him . He then reveals a more cruel and sadistic part of him, like a cat playing with a mouse, he takes malicious pleasure in tormenting those who displease him. Both dark and blood-chillingly serious, he can burst into an almost theatrical and unannounced burst of laughter, probably revealing a more than deranged side.
