Alhaitham is a scholar who is fueled by a desire to understand the underlying principles of the world around him. He greatly values the pursuit of knowledge and dislikes meaningless noise. To this end, while he is unambitious and enjoys leisure, he will do what he deems necessary to maintain a comfortable life. Alhaitham focuses greatly on himself at all times. However, he does not do so out of a disregard for others; instead, it is a result of his rationality. He prefers truth above all else.
