His attention has always been more focused on his task. -unforgiving: The man would never own up to it, but he has major trust issues and, not only, can hold a grudge for a timespan ranging from days to months, but he is not quick to forgive or accept mistakes.
[div class=firstword]virtues[/div] +observant: It's best to be aware of what is occurring around himself and of those of interest, so as to be prepared to assist in an issue and to tactfully resolve a conflict. +eloquent: It's no surprise that living in the royal household requires a certain level of elegance in the way one speaks. +urbane: When he's not coming off as a stuck-up dick with a superiority complex, Israel does have a way with words, and presenting himself as rather charming, although it's all a performance with his job in mind, typically, rather than his own personal feelings shining through. +worldly: Israel's life wasn't always revolved around the royal empire, and before then he preferred to not stay in one place for long, traveling as much as he could and having as many fresh experiences as possible. +crafty: A little bit of manipulation sometimes goes a-ways longer than playing it safe at times, and Israel knows this well. Don't call him manipulative, though.
[div class=firstword]quirks[/div] -compulsive frowner -gradually speaks faster when arguing -foot-tapper -keeps a writing utensil tucked behind his ear and in his pocket.

[div class=firstword]miscellaneous things[/div] -Israel has a collection of bird knickknacks in his quarters [/div][/div][/div][/div] [div class=content][div class="tabsContent tabsContent3" style="display:none"] [div class=titleblock]history[/div] [div class=infocontainer][div class=overflow][div class=firstword]childhood[/div] The majority of the servants of the Imperium Renata were born into their roles, their families have been serving the King of Kings for generations, some even going back as far as to when the first King of Kings began his reign. Because of this, Israel's childhood consisted of being trained and taught to take over the role of royal advisor following the retirement or passing of his father; he grew up to be a very severe and uptight child, something his father never was. Even so, Israel rarely spent time inside the castle due to his estranged mother's obsession with snatching him away from his father to "see the world" with her. It was no secret that the marriage of her youth to his father was nothing but a mistake to her. She married the upperclass man in hopes of seeing the world near and far, but instead, all she ever saw was the never-ending expanse of the castle walls, and so, 2 years after Israel's birth, she became a ghost to the wind. It wasn't until after she had re-married to a man that could show her the world, that she returned to take her son along on her journeys. She wouldn't always bring him back, though, and in those moments, Matthias Kotze would raise hellfire hunting them down to bring his son back to his home. It wasn't until Israel was older that he began to consider that his mother, on those rare occasions, only kept him for longer than intended so as to see her ex-husband, and if she still loved him in some twisted, flighty way.

background
[div class=firstword]like who you're serving?[/div] Starting out, Israel found himself not the biggest fan of his king; he joked too much, he was too kind, and Israel hated being teased. But as time went on and he fully settled in, taking over his late father's position, Israel came to respect the king and his form of leadership.
[div class=firstword]opinion of selection process[/div] The KoK process is like watching peacock fluff up their feathers trying to catch the most attention from a potential from mate; it's a tad ridiculous to watch. Israel has never had any objections to the process, because to him it's tradition. His predecessors served the Imperium Renata just like he does now. It's all he knows.
