Melodias is one to act without tact, he does not give proper respect to people clearly above him unless he deems them worthy of doing so. This means that he often, and confidently speaks his mind during times when he shouldn't and will give his blunt and very honest opinion. Aside from that, he was gifted with a keen mind for strategies and tactics, easily planning and strategizing proficient plans with contingencies.
Every since youth he has steeled his mind in order to make up for his low birth, he has sharpened his mind by reading and simply listening to people around him, and since then he has a thick skin, not letting people get to him easily.

◾ Biography:
Melodias was born under two parents, both of whom were low birth. They lived and toiled a relatively normal life to try and get by. At his youth he inherited his fascination and interest with Archery from his Father, and his love of books from his Mother, whom had stacks upon stacks of books. It was fine childhood, one that he was content with. Until one day, where his father accidentally crossed a noble for unknown reasons. They thought it was fine and nothing would come of it, until an accident occurred where both lost their life.
It was unknown if it was the work of the nobles or not, but the details around it were very dubious and questionable, with everything aligning up too perfectly for mere chance. At that point Melodias didn't do anything, since he was a child who didn't know any better, but as he came off age, everything started to click. However he still could not do anything because of his status. Through this, he developed his dislike off nobles. Even if they gave their fake and obligatory condolences, and through gritted teeth he reluctantly accepted them, but he swears he could hear their laughter as they slunk back into their homes.
Today he works under the Hyland family as one of their hunters.
