Shaddiq has an affable demeanor, often presenting himself as friendly and carefree to others despite his advanced status. He is very charismatic and often goes out of his way to convince others to join with him and his objectives, avoiding confrontation and force when he can. He works to maintain his affect even through difficult negotiations and when trying to taunt others. He also often jokes around with the others on the Dueling Committee.

However, Shaddiq is secretly very ambitious and ruthless to realize his goals. He maintains many arrangements and networks to accomplish his political objectives, but he is not afraid to cast them off or leave them to die once he no longer sees use for them. Despite that, he still feels attachment to some of his closer collaborators, such as the five female pilots from Grassley House.
