On record as «Le Calme». The Legato attending his investiture noted in the margin of the rite-book that "the boy speaks only when he has examined the matter for a full minute by the wall-clock", and the marginal note has not been struck out. This archivist's position is that the note describes a seventeen-year-old who had been lifted from rubble five weeks prior, and that the man who completed the novitiate is not that boy. The alias has since been assessed as factually inconsistent with all observed field behavior by L. #88, on three separate occasions, in three separate files.

In the field, Paladin #3113 is the first man through the door. He does not close the distance after the situation has been assessed; he is, in most engagements, the reason the situation requires assessment. Brothers assigned to his squad report that operations with him tend to be described as dynamic, a word this archivist has learned to read as the operational plan changed the moment he arrived. The Order has classified his output as COMBAT SKILL: EXCELLENT. The brothers who have operated alongside him use other words, with greater frequency and volume.

Off the field he is loud, physically expressive, and apparently constitutionally incapable of meeting a person without immediately attempting to make them a friend. He is on first-name terms with most people he has operated alongside, and on attempted first-name terms with several he has operated against. He carries colleagues over his shoulder for field transport. He has been known to introduce himself at full volume when a quieter approach was available. The Section of Personnel has noted him as difficult to route through standard interview channels, a distinction he shares with no other current member of the Order.

He is not reckless in the sense of not caring about the outcome. He cares, considerably, and this is understood to be the source of the problem. When something must be done, he does it. The vow Per ignem purificans, per voluntatem manens is filed here as a formality; brothers who have seen him work report that it is, in practice, less a vow than a description.

Master-apprentice bond with Paladin #717, formally recorded. #717 holds the title of patron in the Order registry from the day of induction; the classification is settled and has not been revisited. The operational bond with Paladin #3666, his field partner across some six decades of active service, is documented in every incident report they share, in the signatures at the bottom of each, and in the number of times one has carried the other from an engagement. The Section of Personnel has not found it necessary to classify it further, on the grounds that no existing framework is adequate.
