Olejer is cheerful and sociable, but does not need to be the center of attention. He enjoys talking to anyone and everyone, and cultivates an attitude of a harmless gossip. He used to be a thoughtless gossip, but over his years he's learned when to keep his mouth shut and, more importantly, when to let information slip.

Olejer is a spy, and has worked with a network of spies across the Nexus since he left home. Where "home" is depends on who he's spoken to, but Olejer has a dozen stories and even identities that he keeps separate based on his work.

The latest, long-term work that Olejer is doing revolves around finding and rescuing his younger sister, who he has tracked down to Arx Infusco in the last few months. He concocted a plan to bond some Beasts to aid him in his cover as working at the Arx as a common drudge, and plans on keeping an ear to the ground for where his sibling has got to. Being a low-ranking thrall has its own dangers, however, and so Olejer spends almost as much time keeping his bonds safe from becoming snacks. Luckily, they share his clever instincts.

He defers to Obasi in most things, however, knowing that her bond with Olejer is special, and sensing that the lot of them are in danger that an injection of venom won't resolve if things go wrong. Because of this, he is curt and strict with the lower ranking members of their cluster, backing up Obasi when she has specific plans for them.

She's very curious about finding Olajer's sister, and privately has intentions to fold her into their bonded group. She doesn't understand why humans are so telepathically stunted, though those few that she has read seem dull in other regards, driven mainly by fear rather than fire.

This isn't all for idle fun. Tophan is not as good as some of the rest of Olejer's cluster at actively seeking out information about the humans of the Arx, but she is dedicated to helping Olejer find his clutch-mate. She warrants that if slavers and pirates are evil, they would do better whittle their numbers down, especially as anchors for evil hatchling hydras to bond to. This is why her hide-outs are historically outside of the areas that said people are likely to frequent, and less-so around those that Olejer has vetted as relatively harmless.

Okley has seen his fair share of scrapes, and he avoids larger Beasts when possible. He spends most of his time lurking amongst non-Beasts who mistake his size and shape as 'lesser than' without necessarily feeling cannibalistically snackish. From here, he listens in on conversations, especially thoes dealing with outsiders who have been coming and going from the Arx. He aims to be Olejer's ears, but this is a difficult task for one of his station.
