In battle, he wielded a gravity hammer and wore very resilient power armor.

During the campaign on Harvest, he grew to respect humans for their different nature and unfailing courage in the worst of situations, but he passionately disliked Ripa 'Moramee.[1] He enjoys eating thorn beast, which he prefers to be cooked rare, as well as hearing exaggerated tales of his adventures, told by an overweight Unggoy who serves as his official scribe. In 2528, the army commander tore apart two Unggoy because his thorn beast was overcooked. The Unggoy were subsequently discovered as five organic chunks strewn about his quarters.[4]
