Character personality: On the surface, Zelgadis is somewhat secretive, moody, and not at all pleasant to be around. Once you get to know him, one can find that he's got an adventurous and caring side. That said, Zelgadis is haunted by the secrets of his past. This "brooding loner" bit is almost always offset by those around him, as hanging out with Lina Inverse and company tends to remove one's ability to come across as unflappable. He's more serious than others to a fault, however, and tries to be the practical one of a group. Zelgadis is driven and distrustful of those who do evil or act irresponsibly (ironic given his usual company) and will sometimes lose himself in his pursuits if he believes strongly enough about something. He also has a less serious side, in that if he gets wrapped up in something, Zelgadis will sometimes pursue it to comically exaggerated extremes. In short, "Zel" is almost always the straight man, but even he's not always so above it all. Finally, Zelgadis is somewhat sensitive about his condition, and does not take well to being referred to negatively as such.

Digimon partner personality: Impmon is cheeky, manipulative, and generally downright contemptible, reminding Zelgadis far too much of a certain Mazoku. The digimon is profoundly corrupt and not above using others for his own ends, while putting on a mask of friendliness and helpfulness. The fact that this almost always appears artificial is the only thing that keeps him from manipulating everyone around him - aside from Zelgadis's more noble aspects that is. That said, Impmon sees the value in having a Tamer for a partner, and is willing to avoid doing things that incur his partner's wrath if it means a greater reward in the long run. Impmon is also keenly intelligent, which affords his sneakiness well.

Character abilities: Zelgadis's body is incredibly heavy and durable, though he has no trouble moving about on his own. This results in him having increased strength and endurance, as well as hair as strong as steel wire that can be used as throwing needles. Furthermore, the part of his body derived from a brau demon gives him superior speed and senses, including hearing, and the ability to cast spells with greater ease without becoming tired.

Zelgadis is also an accomplished swordsman. He utilizes the "Astral Vine" spell to enchant his blade, which allows him to attack spectral beings such as Mazoku. In terms of skill, he is able to hold his own against more experienced swordsmen, but not defeat them. In short, he's "above average."

As a sorceror, Zelgadis is superior, skilled in the field of shamanistic magic. In particular, he can cast the Ra Tilt, a spell capable of dealing damage to the opponent's astral self or soul, and the Vlave Howl, a spell that turns a point in the line of sight into molten magma. Both of these are two of the strongest shamanistic spells. He can also cast dark magic, but due to dark magic being reliant on drawing power from various Mazoku, he cannot use any of them in Dive - save for one, the Gaav Flare, a fireball which derives power from the Mazoku Gaav, who exists in game. This spell is useless when used on Gaav himself. The power of all his spells are reduced to the Adult level.
