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

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

Vexander Graves prefers to push the rules to the absolute limit. While he is unlikely to actually break rules or disobey orders, he toes the line between what is allowed and what isn't at every opportunity.

While generally laid back and more than happy to offer a quip of sarcasm, Vexander Graves's entire demeanor changes once combat begins. He becomes focused and quiet, with his smile replaced with a look of grim determination.

Vexander Graves wears out his opponents through use of the Force, agility, and evasion. Once he has sufficiently tired his foes through the Force, physical, or mental assault, he quickly tries to find a means of cleanly and swiftly dispatching them - usually resulting in a somewhat risky all-or-nothing attempt at a deathblow.

Vexander Graves 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 Vexander Graves. 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.
