Personality

Thanatos embodies a peculiar dichotomy. On one hand, he is enveloped in a cloud of delirium; his mindset often delves into absurdity, resulting in erratic behaviors and unpredictable responses. He speaks in riddles or whimsical metaphors, sometimes laughing at his own dark humor, which leaves others confused and intrigued. His confusion stems from the weight of his eternal duty and the weariness that hounds him after eons of watching life and death play out in an unending cycle. Despite his delusions, Thanatos has moments of piercing clarity where he becomes deeply contemplative about existence, duty, and the fragility of life.
