Zandik is A scholar and a field researcher, currently at the Akademiya, though after several incidents regarding his obsession with ancient rune technology and blatant disregard for the well being of his teammates while expeditioning in Sumeru, not to mention his constant insubordination...he likely only has a strike or two left before getting completely expelled. He is Antisocial and apears ridged when interacting with others, speaking bluntly. Really though he just wants someone to talk to..
