Mental characteristics
Personal history
Like other Red Wizards, Szass Tam prefers to remain unseen, working through lackeys and servitor creatures (including vast armies of undead) while he plots and schemes. His undeath gave him patience. He is quite prepared to abandon servants and attempts that failed, and simply try again later in a better way. Those who meet him (or seemingly real magical images of himself that he creates and sent far across Faerûn) discover Szass Tam to be calm, cultured, and even pleasant. Tam is polite but blunt, and he can be plunged instantly into cold, controlled rage by insolence or deliberate defiance. On the other hand, he seems to admire those who cross or foil him by cleverness, as long as they treat him politely.
Intellectual Characteristics
Szass Tam personality is incredibily elusive and meticulous despite holding a prestitious title. Usually he is quite polite and fair but he can demonstrate a rather antisocial behaviour if he is agitated. The thing that gets him heated are rude, slow and impolite people. While he avoids direct confrontation and usually let his guards fight for him he can hold his own in a fight.
