Personality:

Dualscar is an intelligent troll, with centuries of battle experience, making him an excellent tactician and commander. He is a loyal - possibly fanatically loyal - subject of the Empire, and definitely loves his power and prestige. He is a sea dweller, making him second in blood only to the Condesce herself, and that is a fact that he takes great pride and pleasure in.

He believes strongly in the essential rightness of the hemospectrum, in the inherent superiority of his blood over others, and that lowbloods are essentially intelligent animals who need a strong hand to guide them. They are tools to be used for the purpose for which they were created - to serve, to fight where directed, to die if they are not useful, or become unmanageable. Part of this belief is simply due to his upbringing, and partly because if he were to accept that lowbloods - in their numbers - were equal to sea dwellers, he would lose everything that he has in life. After all, he stands at the pinnacle of troll society, and he will push off anyone who tries to threaten his position, and not care if they fall to their deaths. His moral compass is survival of the fittest, and he is very fit.

Dualscar, being a highblood troll, has little to no conscience when it comes to murder or destruction. If someone annoys him, he may kill them. He has the inherent right to do so, because of who he is, and by the moral compass of his race there is no reason for him to feel guilty. He has murdered thousands of lusi, orphaning an equal number of trolls - and likely dooming them if they can't take care of themselves - as well as many thousands of trolls, either directly or indirectly in battle. It's possible that he has wiped out entire civilizations, as his armies conquered worlds and brought them under his Empress' heel.

All that being said, Dualscar is certainly not devoid of emotion or personal pain of his own. He is a very lonely person, isolated because of his position and because of the demands of his society. He doesn't really understand redrom - so focused on being the strongest and keeping his position against war, competition, and potential assassination, that he can't imagine how someone could weaken themselves enough to be pitied, and not be killed. He sees betrayal at every turn, and is honestly frightened of intimacy. So the only way in which he can feel a connection with another individual is through hatred and violence, yet this only fulfils him to a certain degree. Though he doesn't understand why, his life is empty and lonely, which only makes him more emotionally messed up.

This loneliness makes him an extremely jealous, needy lover. He can't stand that someone who is literally his whole world - Mindfang - seems to be happy to throw him aside on a whim. She has had many lovers, while he has had very few, and he is far more devoted to the relationship than she seems to be. Part of this disparity is played up by Mindfang purely because she knows it gets to him, but a lot of it is real. She enjoys her rivalry with him, but is fine with tossing him aside, while Dualscar's jealousy that she might choose a worthless slave over him (even though she actually HASN'T) drives him straight to his death. Though it is not normal for trolls to be exclusive - they are supposed to have romance in four different categories with a total of five different other trolls! - Dualscar is a monogamist in a polygamist society. At least, he demands monogamy from his multiple partners, and in that he's inevitably disappointed.
