Outside of his leadership, Issitoq is reserved and is careful about who he shares with and what information he shares. He's quite blunt when he does have thoughts to share and is not afraid to be honest about his opinions. He's rather rebellious at times and chooses to do things his way, whether his companions or pack like it or not. 

If you can get to this side of him, Issitoq is friendly and chivalrous. A nurturing dire, he's often seen comforting his pack or hanging out with the young pups or even training the yearlings one on one. He's optimistic and very fast-paced. He doesn't typically wait for the flow of things, but is often attempting to manipulate time and the course of things.

Issi is a natural leader, aggressive in asserting his authority where necessary, and he's secure and confident in himself. He is not easily swayed with words or actions, and cannot be deferred from his leadership. His pack knows better than to attempt to usurp him from his throne, for despite his pleasant disposition, he is not hesitant in putting one in their own place.
