☓ Personality: If only one word had to be used to describe Balthazar, it would probably be apathy. The hedonistic angel is many things, and most of them aren’t the most flattering way to describe a person. At first glance, Balthazar seems like he’s nothing more than a sarcastic know-it-all with a penchant for making you feel like a complete idiot at best of times and a waste of space at worst of times. Unfortunately, that’s his superficial personality in a nutshell. It’s unsure if he has always been like this or if he picked up some of his worst traits while on Earth, but the fact of the matter is that he’s kind of an unforgivable asshole and he doesn’t really seem to mind.

Balthazar has a nasty habit of using people for things he wants. From sex to power to protection, what Balthazar wants, he gets. If another person has something of interest to him, he would be willing to trade whatever he can, but more often than not, he’d rather just swindle them out of it. Of course, even if he does trade for what he wants, don’t think it’ll be fair. The blond, booze-drinking angel has something of a silver tongue and could probably sell a desert to a man dying of thirst if there was even a hint of an oasis being in it. Fortunately, if his victim proves to be smarter than the average bear, he might take pity on them just for being entertaining.

But probably the trait that sticks out most in a person’s mind if they were to meet Balthazar would be his annoying, overuse of sarcasm. In fact, that seems to be the only language he speaks, and yes, he speaks it fluently. He’s Mr. Wit, quick to shutdown or diffuse a conversation with one smartass retort. Even standing his ground against Raphael failed to make his brand of mockery waver. Balthazar is very quick to point out other’s failings and stupidity, often sparing a moment of his precious time to throw in a clever remark. Although he likes to point out how these so-called idiots could be doing whatever is it they’re doing better, he’ll rarely lift a finger to help. If the outcome could bother whatever safety net he’s established for himself, he’ll do the minimum work to get through the problem. He’s also guilty of never turning his own critical eye against himself, never admitting out-loud his guilt of anything he’s done. In fact, a less-informed person would say he seems to revel in all the decadent sinning he’s been doing since away from home.

Although his carefully, constructed mask of indifference is nearly unbreakable, there are times when others can catch him unawares. Balthazar feels like he needs to be in control of situations, almost as if it makes him feel safer. He relies on others to be predictable, to be able to read people, but when something comes out of left field, Balthazar almost falls apart. When the situation is no longer in his control, he scrambles to get back on top of everything, to find out what went wrong and how he might be able to fix it. The charade that he’s in control still sticks out of habit, but it’s easier for people to see right through it. On the surface, Balthazar may seem cool, collected, and confident, but those who know how to look will see through it all.

Despite his poise, Balthazar can act like, at times, a selfish brat. His hedonistic lifestyle is more akin to a punk kid trying to rebel against his father’s rules than anything he truly enjoys. Balthazar doesn’t really handle people he cares about leaving him very well, and couldn’t deal with not only his Father leaving, but his best and, arguably, only friend also skipping out. Instead of continuing to uphold his “honorable soldier” image, he simply escaped from it and began drowning himself in a mixture of bodies, alcohol, and drugs. After all, if there was no one left to make him follow the rules or even make him want to follow them, he was going to do whatever the hell he wanted. Who would care, otherwise? He claims he’s just following in Castiel’s footsteps, but the truth of the matter is, it’s his own passive-aggressive way of getting back at them without actually facing the reality of his problem.

At this point, one might wonder if there are actually any good traits about Balthazar, to which the answer would be a resounding “kind of.” Even though he ran to escape the Civil War in Heaven and wants nothing more to do with the idiots upstairs, he still manages to come running to Castiel’s help every time the angel is in a corner. The blonde, wise-cracking angel may be lazy, crude, and a bit selfish at times, but he’s extremely loyal to those he considers important in his life. Family is family and friends are few and far between after all is said and done. If asked, Balthazar might find it in his shriveled heart to actually help someone out. Well, if he likes them. You see, underneath all the layers of scotch, cynicism, and wise-cracking, there is a good person. It just takes a little digging to find him.
