Dracule Miraak/Personality and Relationships

"Listen… In this world, whenever there is light, there are also shadows. As long as the concept of winners exist, there must also be losers. The selfish desire of wanting to maintain peace causes wars and hatred is born to protect love.

Personality
Ever since his first appearance, Kurama had always been inscrutable. Unlike the vast majority of his Family, Kurama was not interested in personal gain, caring more for his belief as a whole. Flashbacks showed that he used to be a compassionate brother, but his initial appearances depicted him as an Guardrone criminal interested in the organisation's success and secrecy before all else. Later his interest in the Guardrone was revealed to be an act, and his true intentions for joining the organisation were to spy on it from within.

Kurama was shown to be highly intelligent, something even Dragon acknowledged. From a young age, Kurama was very astute with a great respect for the past and his personal history. From this, by the age of seven, his wisdom and understanding of the world was on par with the World Nobles, as noted by Levasseur D. Giotto. He was quick-witted, observant, and intuitive; rarely being caught off guard or deceived. Kurama had great foresight; his foreknowledge of Sakura's victory against the squid fishman swordsman for the Panther Branch of the Phantom Corporation, his own pre-meditated "death" by Dr. Pormethious's hand. However, while Kurama is a powerful Fighter, he is not arrogant, and complimented his opponents at times on their abilities.

As a Guardrone Kurama was a very cold, callous, and dispassionate figure, and is rather aloof, brooding, and indifferent, willing to harm both his comrades and enemies should they get in his way. He refers to anyone he does not find interesting as "trash", and treats them as expendable.

His cold demeanor allows him to stay completely calm and in control in most situations, and he is not easily surprised or caught off-guard. However, he does not seem to comprehend the Human trait of fighting against all odds or the concept of the Human heart; during his final battle with Regulus D. Night, he completely overwhelms the Pirate after Drawing his Sword, yet Night continues to fight on regardless of this. Because of this, he, shouting at Night out of frustration, tells him "to continue fighting is pointless." He is highly perceptive, cunning, and analytical. During his first visit to the New world, he makes several surprisingly accurate comments on the Pirates who confronted them.

After Regaining some of his Emotion Kurama is a calm and level-headed person who hardly reacted even when the world Government was found to be manipulating him. During the conferences with the Shichibukai he is generally the one who keeps the meetings productive and on track, usually by using his lack of association with the marine and their past conflicts to act as a neutral mediator. He is also very humble, having taken responsibility for criticising the World Nobel during the meeting, rather than attributing it all to World Nobles's manipulation, asking the Shichibukai for forgiveness afterwards. As he clashed with his older Sister, he addressed her with much respect, promising her he would have spoken of her like a hero, and praising her great faith.
