Through a combination of preparing, studying, and analyzing, Arcturus Moore creates detailed battle plans and tries to think two steps ahead of the enemy. At times, however, this can lead to Arcturus Moore creating complicated schemes that can baffle less intelligent subordinates.

Despite whatever all his other characteristics may convey, Arcturus Moore retains the air of a person that is confident, if not arrogant. Minor (and often, major) things in his body language - his walk, his stance, his expressions - reveal these feelings. At times, it seems he borders upon narcissism, especially judging from how much he enjoys his own company.

Arcturus Moore rarely acts without an alternate motive when it comes to lending aid or acting in a situation. Be it greed, power, or something else, almost undoubtedly Arcturus Moore is after something more than what he says - though sometimes Arcturus Moore is even blunt enough to admit to it. While his self-serving attitude comes as a boon, usually, to his survival and pocketbook, his relationships are often strained by his outright selfish attitude.

Arcturus Moore is extremely cocksure and headstrong. Possessing a keen wit and exceptional level of intelligence, Arcturus Moore will often use his superior intellect to humiliate lesser minds. Basically, he is kind of a jerk, and that can sometimes get Arcturus Moore in a bit of trouble.

Arcturus Moore 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 Arcturus Moore. 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.

Through careful study and dedication to isolated martial-combat, Arcturus Moore has turned the act of dueling into an art form. A keen eye and attention to detail allows him the ability to learn their opponent's idiosyncrasies while fighting. Arcturus Moore then uses his own skills to capitalize on the opponent's weakness. Because of this calculated approach to isolated duels, Arcturus Moore has a harder time taking on multiple opponents at once at higher skill levels.
