Of the three disciples, he was not the most skilled, with his signature move being the Dash Slash. While Oro is respectful of the Nailsage's teachings, he was reluctant to obey them to the letter. Oro always seemed haunted by something. After a falling out among the Nailmasters, he chose to move away in seclusion. He did not leave his brother Mato in good terms and still owes him something. He set a hut in the far reaches of the Kingdom's Edge to avoid company. It is unspecified for what species of bug he is.

He set a hut in the far reaches of the Kingdom's Edge to avoid company. Oro can be found in his hut at the end of Kingdom's Edge. Reluctant of the Knight's company, however, he concedes to teach them the Dash Slash for 800 geo. While always being uninviting, Oro does not hide his appreciation of the Knight's skills as a disciple. He comments on each of the Nail Arts the Knight has learnt while remembering his brothers and master. He even asks them to tell Mato to wait a bit longer before Oro gives him what he wants. When the Knight finally becomes a Nailmaster, Oro hopes that his participation in their training helped redeemed him a bit towards the Nailsage. If the Knight brings him a delicate flower, he refuses to take such gift and tells the Knight to leave with the flower or he'll toss it for the enemies to break. Yet, he keeps the flower in a vase.
