Howlader Taldrya always seems to underestimate the gravity of important situations or the difficulty of tasks by about a mile or ten.Howlader Taldrya is a bit of a slacker, never really thinking things all the way through - and it usually comes back to bite him in a wildly comedic way. However, he also tends to not be deterred from things that would often scare others away.

Howlader Taldrya is mesmerized by anything shiny and can easily spot shiny objects from a distance. This makes him good at finding things of importance or value, but he may also be distracted by pretty baubles.
