Having a cool personality and tending to keep things to himself, Lon'qu possesses a direct and somewhat unwieldy way of talking, likely from his lack of social grace or his foreign origins of Chon'sin. Due to events in his childhood, Lon'qu developed gynophobia out of fear of having another woman who becomes too close to him get killed. As a result, he often gets nervous when speaking with female members of the army. His pride in his swordsmanship can lead to a reckless temper when questioned.
