1. Duke can understand animals - its some weird thing that people probably think came from hanging out with his giant monster friend, but really animal noises just make sense to him.

2. He doesn't believe in any higher powers on his world. Fate is bullshit, the goddess is a human creation, and the Entelexeia are awesome, but not deities.

3. He is still 38 due to castle-no-aging. He clearly discovered the way to look young is to say "fuck everything, I am going to live in the woods."

4. Duke likes to avoid conflict. The last big conflict he was in was a war, and it ended up with him losing his best friend the giant monster shape-shifter. So now he just sort of ignores people and avoids arguments unless minor buttons get pushed.

5. Because he's avoided people, and when he has encounters involving violence they're usually a "I'm going to kill that thing" sort, he has trouble fighting "nice" / pulling blows.

6. While he will never say so, Duke is incredibly strong and skilled with both magic and sword. It is implied by characters that Duke was stronger than said giant monster friend, and the way he uses magic doesn't fall into the explained rules. Duke crafts his own spells - so everything that has a non-combat use that he uses in Paradisa was modified or made by him.

7. Headcanon, Duke does not deal well with getting blood on him. This plays into his fighting style - manipulating his sword with magic - and is due to trying to stop a certain giant creature from bleeding out when healing magic didn't work.

8. Duke gets tunnel vision - often blocking out things like 'right, I need to eat' or 'there could be another way that works' when he picks a goal to meet.

9. He rarely forgets those who have been nice / mean / rude to him. Unfortunately, he remembers and focuses on negative things more than positive ones.

10. The easiest way to get Duke enraged / violent is to betray someone or have done so. He doesn't understand why anyone would do so purposefully, and having been betrayed, can't stand the people who would / have done so.
