[div style="text-align: justify; letter-spacing: -1px; text-transform: lowercase; font-size: 10pt; line-height:.9; width:60%"]Dorian is, admittedly, a bit tricky to pin down, but only because he is a bit of a chameleon, in the sense that he has a persona he reserves for those he hardly knows and a persona for those he does. It isn't as much of a completely separate demeanor as it is a single shade of who he is- he is polite when around strangers, but he is also civil around others, simply in varying degrees. Fifty Shades of Dorian, although there might not be that many, and if there are, they're minor details when compared to the larger attributes of his demeanor.
Dorian, for all of his bluster and sometimes even biting words, is a caring individual, and if someone knows how to look, it won't be difficult to see that he truly wears his heart on his sleeve. That arm is often kept behind his back, but it is bared nonetheless, even when he succeeds in his smothering of expressions should he find it necessary. He's a warm man who cares very much for his people, despite -or perhaps because of- their flaws.
He comes from a background of high status, so it is only fitting that he be an eloquent, well spoken individual who has a way with words. It might not always be obvious, but he is often quick with a quip or a witty remark, and finds himself frequently in a position where he must smooth things over, if he doesn't decide beforehand that he prefers to let the matter resolve itself. He could be described as a diplomat, though personally he does not credit himself with such a title.
Aside from being refined, he does have his flaws, pride being one of them. Dorian values his dignity highly, and he isn't fond of being the first to capitulate, despite his ability to accept defeat. His appearance is the result of that pride, which is in turn a result of his upbringing, which taught him to be presentable at all times. It only makes sense that one of the things he has cultivated for all his life is a source of pride for him, meaning his appearance is taken quite seriously.
