Underneath Istredd's serious exterior lies a dry sense of humor and some genuine warmth that's simply suppressed due to his natural reserve. But it comes out when he starts to open up to people. Laughs are very rare from him though.

"You're all too young for me," he says, deadpan. It is not the truth as many of the other Thorne Summoned are far older than they look. The median age is high. "Of course Lucifer is billions of years older than me, so you could say he's a cradle robber." This may be the most deliberate he's been in indicating his relationship with Lucifer, but it is in part because the official aspect is brand new. Not that outwardly much has seemed to change about them at all.

"I did notice the redheads though." Hard to miss. Hair that bright, and there are so many of them. "Also a lot of silver or white-haired people who aren't actually old." Thancred, Urianger, and Dante as examples right in this castle.

"I should think so, spies are supposed to be secretive." Kyle's never told him that's what he is, but Istredd guessed.
