Appearance
It has been some time since Dawson was living barefoot in the forest. While he does prefer loose and comfortable clothing, he feels responsible for appearing capable and tidy when he represents his Company. (His considerable finances as an officer have helped him in this regard.)
Behaviour
Dawson has experienced a great deal of love and loss in his life, and those events have granted him a sort of wisdom that defies his age. He is reflective, honest, and tries to see the deeper meaning in most things. He views his emotions as a weakness to be overcomed, and is therefore incredibly dispassionate. He can frequently come off as detached or uninterested. His narrow view of the world up until now can sometimes seem alien and off-putting, depending on the subject. While his time away from the Shroud has broadened his perceptions, he still tends to have difficulty when presented with new situations.

Character
General
Dawson is unmistakably Gridanian; his obsession with the forest and what it has to offer has colored his entire perspective on life. Above all, Dawson treasures nature and wisdom, and he strives to learn as much as he can from the land and the experiences of his companions. Despite his responsibilities as a Lieutenant in the 81st and his status as one of Rhesh'ir's closest advisors, he tends to spend most of his time outside of the estate either meditating or training those interested in learning the art of Conjury.

Rumours
Easily Overheard Rumours
- ■ "He keeps me in business! I'm surprised he functions with the number of oranges he eats." - Fruit vendor in Limsa Lominsa
Somewhat Difficult To Overhear Rumours
- ■ "He’s been living here forever. I used to see him a lot more right after the Calamity--he worked himself to the brink of death." - Hyrstmill Local
- ■ "I heard he got in some serious trouble once. Not sure what he’d do wrong, though; he’s usually such a gentle fellow." - Innkeeper in Gridania
Rarely Overheard Rumours
- ■ "I helped him bury each of his parents, the poor thing." - Hyrstmill resident
- ■ "He stood outside my shop and spoke to a Seedseer. What they spoke about was... well, it was unusual." - Leatherworker in Old Gridania
Player Character Rumours
- ■ "I haven't held a conversation with a hyur that actually made me think twice. Dawson is... Well, I didn't know such a gentle voice could deliver harsh words. I'll keep him around." - Rhesh’ir Zhwan
- ■ "He's...changed. And not-changed, in the past year. What has not changed is his compassion, and his even temper. Were I to've gone through his struggles, I do not know that I'd have emerged a stronger person. Dawson has." - Y’lyfriel Sikah
- ■ " I find him strange, but that's not always a bad thing. You'd confuse him for a sage if he hadn't reminded you of his connection to the elements, physically or verbally. But I also think he's naive at times. Some of his beliefs just do not work in the world. At least, I don't think they do. Still, I'd rather prefer him to be as he is; true to himself." - Onuma Ahntifi
