What are three things about Ondorus that most people wouldn't realize at first glance?

Hmm. That depends on whether the people in question are glancing at him in his own world - him being a 520-year-old monster-man isn't obvious to fellow routelings. But besides basic things like that...

- Ondorus' natural state is excited, sentimental dorkery. Not that his elegance is all a facade, that's an image he's taken on for real, but if affected by something such that his inhibitions were removed, he'd turn into the biggest soft-hearted doofus nerd with a sweet tooth. The biggest subjects of his nerdjoy are history and LOTR-esque adventure fiction (all fiction from his world is fantasy to begin with!)

- Just how little of the world he's experienced for himself, judging by how much he knows. He's spent those five centuries helping to run a village in a desert, and anything he knows beyond that came from books or the stories of travelers.

- How emotionally secure he is. This isn't so much an opposite of how he appears as just something you wouldn't guess right away - he comes off as a friendly version of the stuffy formal mage archetype, except that after a while you realize - no, he's not lonely, he doesn't have skeletons in his closet, he doesn't needg to be taught a valuable lesson about letting oneself relax and have fun, he's actually very good at handling his feelings.

That last one was really weak, but I'm speed-replying because my phone's battery is low. I'll probably come up with a better one soon and post it later.
