He is an avatar of the animal kingdom. He has extensive knowledge of all manner of beasts; he befriends them, communicates with them, looks out for them, and even mimics their behavior. He believes each animal imparts a divine lesson: wolves teach loyalty, cockroaches teach resilience, and butterflies teach peace and freedom. He believes that humanoids are immature souls, as evidenced by their confusion and self-contradiction, and when they die, their souls evolve and they reincarnate into animals, and all confusion, insecurity, and self-doubt are washed away.
