Personality: **Note -- The genders of his Hero parent, his younger sibling, and his younger sibling's friend are all conditional.**
As King of Albion, Logan is responsible for his country and the safety of its people. And this severe sense of duty and strong devotion to his kingdom is what most defines him. He puts Albion's well-being above all else. He is willing to do anything or sacrifice anything if necessary to defend his land. If he had to end a few lives to save millions, you bet he will. As he states himself, "If a few had to suffer, it was to build an army. If a few had to die, it was to save a country." If it costs him his friends and family, his own reputation and welfare, then so be it. He is not morally unsound and cruelty is not his true nature. Rather he feels forced to make these drastic sacrifices to try to ensure his kingdom had a future.
He mentions to no one of what he encountered in the desert. He never speaks of his near-death experience against the Crawler. It is revealed to the Hero in-game by a total stranger--the woman who had saved his life years prior. He never explains the origins of the scars on his face and hid the rest from the public. He says nothing of the suffering Aurorans, speaking of their land only as a desert wasteland, devoid of life. He says not a word of the darkness looming ahead. Nothing good would come of telling them the truth. He would either be deemed a madman or create a massive panic. Instead, he keeps the burden entirely to himself. A practical thinker, he knows the only way he'd ever have any hope of saving his kingdom, saving 6.5 million people, would be to raise one hell of an army. And to raise one hell of any army, one would need to make a fortune. And Logan believes that the only way to raise that money was through the cruelty of a tyrant. Temporary happiness and a good reputation meant nothing if they were all going to die.
Of course, this has led him to a near constant state of stressed the hell out. Though he never expresses these feelings directly, it's fairly obvious something is wrong. Some burden he carries alone. He is desperate to save his land, so much so that Reaver, a depraved, sadistic, greedy ex-pirate becomes his most resourceful asset. Most obvious signs are the dark rings beneath his eyes and frequent bouts of ill-temper that serve as a testament to his exhaustion. He stress has aged him physically, looking more like a man in his early forties than his late twenties. And he behaves more like a cankerous, tired aged ruler as well. He also has a tendency to talk to himself when under stress, as seen in the most misleading cutscene in the entire game.
Yet he masks his everything with self-control and a stony facade. So to most, Logan tends to come across as a real hard ass--stern, stubborn, humorless, and cold. Solemn and serious as a heart attack, smiling seems to be a foreign concept to him (unfortunately verified by an actual smile). He is levelheaded and composed, even in the most severe crisis. He still has a lingering air of arrogance and pomposity about him. He usually carries himself with pride, back straight, shoulders squared, and chin up. He's not afraid to look someone else in the eye. Seeming to look down on them because of his position of royalty. Though he does not take great care of his health, he takes some pride in his appearance, almost always well dressed and clean cut. Despite his composure, he has quite the short, nasty temper. One he is much more likely to lose under a state of chronic stress (or when his pride is hurt). He can be quite the formidable enemy, able to keep control even when enraged. Instead of going head first into a fistfight, he seems to use methods that are far more petty and harsh.
