Sasha is, above all else, prideful about his work. The feeling of control over the world's underbelly is the most satisfying thing to him, and he refuses to let anything threaten that. He is wholeheartedly egocentric and hedonistic, ultimately serving his own self-interest and desires, constantly needing to be reminded of the consequences of his actions by Roman. While not outwardly arrogant, he holds the conceited and high opinion of oneself common among dragons. He is extremely proud of his lineage and draconic form. Despite this pride, few would know he's quite weak for a dragon, an insecurity he'll never let slip. He's smart enough to have gotten into social domination instead of the physical domination his species is known for, so much so that many of his clients don't even know he's a dragon. He's unwaveringly loyal to his few friends and associates partially because he sees them as possessions of his horde, and to say he's protective of his horde would be an understatement.

In exchange for sharing information, he only accepts goods for his horde or information of equivalent or greater value. Money is not his priority, but tips are always appreciated. His horde consists of many things, but his favorites to collect are rare metals, antiques, and especially various mythical creature taxidermy. His horde also consists of the Red Beetle Bar and anything in it, so decor for it is also appreciated as tips. He will accept bribes to keep knowledge close to his chest. However, if someone else offers him something particularly valuable, he may "suddenly remember" what he was paid to forget about. Giving him a dragon part (claws, teeth, wings, horns, etc.) is essentially a coupon for him to tell you about anything you want to know, as he values them greatly for their ability to ward away other dragons. He won't go to the authorities with anything he knows; it is one of the few codes he has. He will take action if you go to the authorities with anything he tells you; the last thing he needs is some idiotic gang pointing the finger at him.
