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.

Contents
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.

While his time away from the Shroud has broadened his perceptions, he still tends to have difficulty when presented with new situations.
Combat
Dawson has studied conjury for the better part of his life. He is fully dedicated to the art-- he is always aware of the aether around him and doesn’t hesitate to use his powers of healing and the full fury of nature when the need arises.
