- Younger Adventurers - Dismisses them entirely; in his eyes, they haven't earned the right to breathe his air.
- Dale (Apprentice Adventurer) - Once delivered a critique so devastating the boy didn't speak for a week.

Personality and Arrogance
Personality & Arrogance |
|---|
| | Personality |
Norion is chaotic mean—unpredictably cruel, especially when drink has lowered his already minimal filters. He is very infamous for looking down on everyone due to his years of adventure and has the skill to back it up. His critiques are brutal, his dismissals absolute, and his arrogance legendary.
|
|---|
| | The Skill Behind the Arrogance |
What makes Norion insufferable is that he's right. Decades of survival, countless monsters slain, wisdom earned in blood—he has the experience to justify his contempt. When he tells a young adventurer they're holding their sword wrong, they are. When he says they won't survive their next quest, statistics favor him. The truth of his skill makes his cruelty somehow worse.

Apartment
Sparse and severe. Trophies from a long career line the walls—monster parts, awards, mementos of victories. Each one a silent testament to his superiority. No warmth, no comfort, just the cold evidence of a life spent being better than everyone else.

Quotes

(At the monument) "They were worthy. Unlike most."
