Character
Name: Argonaut "Argo" Keene
Series: The Adventure Zone: Graduation
Timeline: Immediately following episode 20
Canon Resource Links: Argo's wiki page and his world, Nua, a D&D adjacent world where Heroes and Villains are university trained and functionally WWE-style entertainers.

Personality: Argo Keene has a very specific personality that he puts out to the world: roguishly charming, quick-witted, debonair and surprisingly genuine - and while these are all individually true, they tell a markedly different story than what's under his no-longer-blue skin. The best lies have a grain of truth at their core, after all.

Argo is indeed a naturally social and agreeable person, and makes little pretence in showing a genuine interest in other people and playing a supporting role in their relationship with him, through either literally supporting them through actions or gifts of lemons and fish jerky, or as moral support. He will always help someone to the very limit of his abilities, but will never actually take charge of an entire situation unless it's clear the other parties are unable or unwilling to do so. And yet despite all of this, it's actually extremely difficult to learn more about the Genasi himself: he's tight-lipped on his own life and circumstances, and even his own true feelings.

Part of this is due to a massive heaping of anxiety: Argo is desperate to feel like he truly belongs to a group, and to have meaningful relationships with other people - especially his fellow Thundermen - but simultaneously doesn't want to come across as whiny or a burden, or not capable of keeping up with people; so he tends to stay quiet and bottle up his own feelings. Despite this, though, his actions betray him more often than not in his eagerness to be Of Use to other people, more than his career as Henchman would rightfully demand; while he doesn't often lie, he'll absolutely do so in order to keep people from thinking he's not worth their time.

He's fiercely, desperately loyal, but it's easy to - and more than once, has been - used against him, along with his habitual bottling up of emotions and quietly harbouring resentment, and it's something he doesn't quite have the emotional intelligence or self-worth to properly recognise as such until it's too late.
