Ethari is portrayed to be an incredibly kind and understanding elf, taking care of Rayla when she was little. He deeply cares for his loved ones and is thought to be an extremely trustworthy friend. This sentiment can be seen in his ritual creation of enchanted metal lotuses, each bound to the life of an individual. Ethari is a creative and principled elf, though he has been known to shirk tradition to retain his sense of right and wrong, such as when he temporarily suppressed the banishment spell to see Rayla off when she depart for the Storm Spire with Callum and Azymondias. Ethari is a caring and responsible elf with a deep sense community and a strong predisposition towards life as a family man. This is evidenced by his fostering Rayla with Runaan when Rayla's parents joined the Dragonguard, taking her in as a daughter and helping to raise her. Ethari creates for both civilian and assassin alike, showing an adaptive mindset in his work, as he has crafted sentimental accessories as a jeweller and deadly weapons as a smith. Rayla states that no one can craft a weapon as light, elegant, strong, and clever as Ethari can.[7]
