Personality
Istvan was motivated by a greed to claim the reward for stopping the Laguz Alliance on behalf of his master, as a result of the fierce competition between the nobles for the rewards and status,[2] and was disappointed to learn that he fought only beorc, which would fetch a lesser reward. According to Soren, he was a poor commander who effectively wasted his soldiers' abilities.[3] He spoke in a very simplistic way which mostly omitted articles.

Never heard of them! You are just small-time bandits, yes? Argh! If we had left behind dead bodies of sub-humans, our reward would have been bigger! My lord is not pleased with heads of bandits! Ike: Oh, I wouldn't worry about our heads. You have no chance to win this fight. Leave while you can. |
