Critias has the natural speed and agility from a family line of Silverfell Chasers. He also has the calm collectedness of his father. However, Critias is more interested in chivalry than waiting or chasing.
Critias takes time to put together his own code of honor, taking bits and pieces from others like First King Ashcore's devotion and Strike's desire to protect others weaker than themselves. First Queen Mystriel's motherly nature. Former Queen Agethern's pursuit of wisdom. His father's patience, and Warcry's bravery.
He tries to hold others up to his high standards as well. Which often leads others to thinking he has a superiority complex. He wants to be one that other wolves can turn to and depend on in time of need. Critias'es idea of chivalry is missing a lot. It's simplistic and it's missing ferocity. It's an entanglement of desires that are hard to maintain. He forgets his weaknesses and strengths or rather chooses not to look into them. He has a thing for honorable fights when he is more built for hit and run tactics. The only fierce thing about him is his cold gaze and determination.
