In other words: a tool at anyone's disposal. For despite his hulking physicality, Lycabas is stunted emotionally. As a child, he missed out on a fair bit of social engagement due to his poor daytime eyesight which led to unnatural sleeping habits. He was often awake while his parents and siblings rested, leaving him perpetually alone during his most active hours. This culminated in an introspective quietness and a general inability to understand the emotions of others, both of which he carries to this day.

His own expressions are flat and his voice is invariably monotone, as he is unable to experience or show his emotions in the way others might. (Unless these emotions are on the extreme ends of the spectrum.) If he does provide an expression, it is done so through mirroring and is given only when it is what he assumes he should do, not because he actually feels something.

He is constantly thinking to himself and sometimes the voice in his head is not his own, but rather the voice of the wolf who brought him up through his adolescence, "Teacher" July Temeraire.
