Personality[]
Yuwan is a very mysterious man, who seems to show little to no emotion most of the time, and whenever he does he tries to suppress it. This comes as a result in him being manipulated by Nerva, the Keeper of Purgation.
He is very intelligent, witted and resourceful, having magic known only to keepers and foreign to the heroes of Aleister, with Urias inquiring where he got the power to "wield such strange sorcery". He will sometimes verbally activate it, usually with the command sequence "Activate, enhance, fire". He initially seems to dislike teleporting as it may pain him, but he uses it often; he is also capable of creating force-field-like barriers, and (perhaps in a nod to Nerva's manipulative ways) controlling people's minds, though he does not use this often as he considers it immoral. An extremely analytical individual, he assesses his enemies to see their potential, and even though he is extremely powerful, he is not above retreating to remake his strategy against powerful individuals, such as Urias Formonde. Yuwan thinks of his power as "sinful" and calls his path "sorrowful", but encountering the heroes of Aleister seems to have given him renewed hope. He also knows his revenge is not correct yet he appears to be ready for the consequences and shows similarities with Eris Anthule, albeit, he overcame his doubts and is ready to use his power for a greater good.
Yuwan harbors a very deep hatred against the keepers, namely Nerva of Purgation for destroying his home and ultimately betraying him; nothing angers him more than their ideals, goals, way of speaking, and arrogance, and he will stop at nothing against them. He once sought power, wanting to rule his land as King to set it on the right path, very much like Urias Formonde in his lust for battle, and he suffered things similar to Eris Anthule, which is why he compares himself to them in his time in Isunia.
Having seen various worlds destroyed has hardened him, but he is not above showing compassion and kindness to others; when not confronting a villainous character, he is usually quite polite, with his 4th anniversary leader encouraging a fair fight in his greeting voice line. He is sympathetic when discovering Erika Sumeragi's alliance with the Countersolari Guild, and becomes furious upon seeing how the Countersolari assassins took their own lives and how Belphomet Ardelyte oppressed the innocent. This also engraved him with an unwavering determination, seen various times in his struggles against the keepers. Even when all seems lost, Yuwan encourages the protagonists not to give up, and tells them determination and hope are the best weapons against the despair the keepers inflict.
