“Though he didn't sneer at the honour, to those who knew him, Thieffry remained the simple man he's always been. With him, excesses of behavior or speech had been banned with the same intransigence as boasting. An endearing companion to his comrades, he loved sincere and loyal friends and abhorred impostors and talkers.”
“He was never seen boasting, haughty, or boasting of his victories. He was sincere and combative, earnest in action, alternately fiery and spiritual in his response, which was the secret of his endearment.”
