Be it during a fight or life in general, moral compass means little to Balthasar. If you don’t want a person harmed, you had better specify. General terms mean nothing to him as Balthasar only deals in specifics. If the rules of a duel say you can’t shoot before the count of three? A grenade over the shoulder is fair game, then. Tell Balthasar to stop someone at all costs, well, you better not be concerned if they’re brought back dead or alive.

When Balthasar does things, he makes sure everything is done correctly, no matter how long it takes. This means there are frequent delays in Balthasar's work, but it's usually done right, at least.

Balthasar doesn't like to work in groups or teams and feels most comfortable on his own. Balthasar sticks to himself, sets his own pace, and doesn't share feelings or emotions with others. While the Lone Wolf can get things done quietly and efficiently, he tends to be emotionally cut off and has problems relating to his comrades.

Balthasar is not afraid to exploit any advantage or position of power he has when dealing with others, and relies on a combination of fear, intimidation, manipulation and shows of strength to convince others to compromise and lose. Balthasar can be quite callous in his dealings with others, and never gives up his power. This has earned Balthasar with the reputation of a “bully” and can often make negotiations difficult before they even begin.

Balthasar seems to get his thrills, perhaps sadistic ones at that, from toying with his opponents. Some are content with simply striking down or injuring their opponent, but that is not enough for Balthasar. No, he wishes to see his enemy descend into madness or kneel before him as a blathering mess; or even better, as a fresh new servant with a muddled mind. The Puppeteer usually forsakes outright hurting and maiming his opponent and focuses on illusions, mind tricks, and other wicked means of destroying a person.

Balthasar will never go into any situation head-on. Whether it be combat or just strolling down the street, he will stick to the shadows or cloak themselves in the Force. The less they are seen the better. If they cannot sneak up on someone, then Balthasar will not bother confronting them.
