Breeding Info N/A
| Personality Hazel has a calm composure compared to the others of Salem's circle. He is reserved and rarely speaks. However, he still criticizes Cinder Fall for her defeat. He has a low tolerance for acceptance of failure, and he does not let minor obstacles get in his way or stand by convention when there is a goal to be accomplished.Despite his low tolerance for failure, Hazel is not cruel or unsympathetic. His reaction to Sienna's murder by Adam is a saddened look and verbal expression of both his frustration at Adam's lack of communication prior to the act and disappointment at how unnecessary the death was. This shows that, despite his allegiance to Salem, he has a certain degree of empathy and morality. Unlike his psychotic colleague, Tyrian Callows, Hazel takes no pleasure in casual slaughter, indicating there must be a higher purpose in violence for him to engage in it.
Preferences N/A
Special Skills Hazel is an incredibly strong unarmed fighter, able to fight off multiple trained Huntsmen at once. When Hazel deems the situation appropriate, he injects himself with raw Dust crystals. After Hazel infuses himself, the veins in his arms glow, his muscles grow, his eyes shine, his voice becomes distorted, and he can discharge and fire Dust energy from his entire body to enhance his attacks. He has been shown using two types of Dust, Lightning and Fire, being able to use more than one Dust type at a time to further increase his strength.
Because of his use of Dust, the limits to his strength are currently unknown, but without it, he has shown to possess enough strength to casually dent machines with an offhanded hammer fist. The use of Dust is not a substitute for his strength, but a supplement. Hazel's most notable attribute, however, is his endurance. He is shown blocking strikes from Qrow, Ren and Nora's weapons with his bare hands, the latter also commenting on the abnormally high rate that Hazel recharges his Aura. Qrow also takes note of Hazel's incredible durability, referring to him as "sheer willpower".
He has only been shown to retreat at the behest of allies who are able to appeal to his more logical and compassionate side. Without this, it is unlikely that anything short of fatal or crippling force would be able to cease his rampaging combat style.
