	Sadogua likes secrets, but does not obsessively collect them like some eternals of the ~~Realm~~ of Night; he appears to view them as useful tools in games of intrigue and manipulation rather than things that have value in themselves. He is often openly contemptuous of the [[Whisper Gallery]] and other beings who value secrets as discrete items. Many magicians have reported that he ''eats'' secrets - the more scandalous they are, the more flavoursome he finds them. It is not clear if this is a metaphor or if the eternal gains sustenance from doing so.

	He is usually eating - and is said to offer additional favour to anyone who shares food or drink with him or his Children. He is likewise known to enjoy pleasant company, verbal interplay, gossip and romance. He enjoys games of skill and chance, but more for the pleasure of playing (and, allegedly, the chance to learn about his opponents) than from any drive to win. Few things make him angry - the denigration of magicians appears to be one of the few things likely to raise his ire; blatant disrespect annoys him, and anything that forces him to waste energy or tire himself out can make him exceptionally irritable.

	Sadogua likes grand titles and collects them. He clearly enjoys being flattered, especially when the flattery is amusing. Common sobriquets include the ''Toad King'', ''Wyrm-King'' or the ''Father of Bats''. He is sometimes referred to as the ''Glutton'', the ''Lazy'' or the ''Black Sloth'' - names that he appears to find amusing rather than offensive. His associations with the rune [[Diras]] occasionally lead to him being called ''Shuttered Lantern'' (although this can cause confusion with all the other meanings for that phrase). The [[hakima]] Isobella i Javos i Guerra dubbed him ''Eater of Secrets'' due to his observed habit of consuming written secrets and mysteries. Not all Sadogua's names are quite so flattering - some Dawnish magicians have taken to calling him "''the Globberslotch''" for example. Yet it appears that the Brother of Wizards is just as pleased with names that reference his slovenly, slothful, gluttonous nature as those that recognise his role as a companion to magicians. Other magicians refer to him as ''Oracle Pig'' especially in [[the Marches]] and [[the League]], a title that apparently makes him chuckle indulgently.		Sadogua likes grand titles and collects them.

	Sadogua is prone to complicated enmities, and another uncommon quality is his awareness of and keen interest in eternals of other realms. He is known to dislike the eternals [[Meraud]], [[Kimus]], [[~~Basileus Flint~~]], and [[Wise Rangara]] and appears to view them as 'rivals' for the affection of the Empire's magicians. For unknown reasons, he appears to be deathly afraid of the [[Leviathan]], and will do nothing that might incur that eternal's wrath.

	Sadogua makes no bones about the fact that he is a ''wyrm'' (that is, his true form is that of a wingless lizard as distinct from the serpent-form Night eternals who possess feathered wings). As with other wyrms, this tends to mean that the Brother of Wizards is more earthy and concerned with practical matters than the more cerebral and philosophical serpents such as [[Soghter]]. It is extremely rare to meet Sadogua in anything approaching his 'true form' however - as with most Night eternals he loves to change his shape.

	Sadogua is almost never encountered alone; he is gregarious and affable, and usually has at least two heralds - which he refers to as his Children.

These Children reflect the personality of Sadogua - they tend to be curious, friendly and prone to self-indulgence. Most also possess magical abilities.

	Sadogua may be greedy, but he is not selfish. He appears to enjoy giving small tokens of his approval to those who entertain or assist him.

Those who advance his agenda or assist him in some significant way receive more lasting gifts, but again he would rather give someone an object than investing them with any portion of his power.

During the reign of [[Empress Teleri]] he was the subject of a [[Alignment#Enmity\|Declaration of Enmity]] that was not repealed until 132YE. The foundation of this enmity is unclear, and he will not speak of it, but it is assumed to have involved magicians from the [[Sevenfold Path]]. Since that time, he has presented a more appealing face to those magicians who follow the Way, although his sincerity is very much in question. On rare occasions when he has expressed an opinion, he has dismissed the Way - and indeed most forms of religion - as 'unnecessary restraints'. He is known to be more tolerant toward the heterodox faith of the [[Asavean Archipelago]].

	At the end of the day, Sadogua appears to firmly believe that magic and magicians should be promoted at all times. Magic allows the individual to change the world, and magicians wield that power. Mundane humans are parochial, limited, restricted and ultimately boring. Anything that restricts magic or the freedom of magicians is anathema to Sadogua, and should be swept aside. Magicians are the only people fit to lead their fellow humans, and magic is the only tool that anyone need ever master. It has unlimited versatility, and in time it can solve almost any problem - and the problems it cannot solve are inconsequential. While he favours the Lore of Night over the other lores, he is a rare eternal who sees value in the mastery of any form of magic, and actively encourages magicians to seek out their own path to power.

	He loves to promote magic. Rituals such as [[Missive for Sadogua]] and [[Tithe of Bats]] draw on his power directly - he is slightly more likely than other eternals to bind himself to a ritual promise if he can be convinced that doing so will offer assistance to many magicians without requiring too much actual activity from the lazy eternal.

	Several magicians have mentioned that Sadogua is comparatively easy to manipulate, not least because he enjoys giving gifts and receiving praise. He rarely becomes angry if he is tricked, seeming to take it in good part and praise the cleverness of an opponent who has bested him in some way. Magicians are not advised to take his good nature for granted, however, as ~~occasionaly~~ the treasures gained from Sadogua have proved to possess unpleasant curses or side-effects.
