As a Nord, he is very proud of his heritage, and will express amazement when in Nordic Tombs, and will even go as far as suggesting to the player that a few treasures should be left behind, as a sign of respect. However, he also nervously states that he doesn't want to end up as a "shambling corpse" when he dies. He also has some knowledge of the Dwemer, though he considers the Nords more hardy, as they "outlasted" the Dwarves, despite their "advanced" culture. He also is nervous around Dwemer ruins, stating that they make him "uneasy." He has a tendency to comment on most locations, mainly their architecture or significance.
