Asher Mir's personality is prickly, as [[Ikora Rey]] was noted to have been exasperated with him, while [[Eris Morn]] regards him as a kindred spirit and a friend.<ref name="GFEM"/> They related to each other on being changed by alien enemies. He tried to help her with her research on [[Nokris]], but unfortunately found nothing. <ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Gensym Knight]]''</ref> He is a very whimsical, narcissistic and eccentric individual, not particularly caring for the safety of the subjects that he sends out for research duties. He strongly values evidence and careful planning and has little regard for people who act impulsively or relying on faith. He has particular disdain for Titans, thanks to their "punch first, study later" habits. Though Asher prefers to remain in solitude with his research, he does allow some people to "assist" him and when he is forced to interact with people, he prefers the company of fellow Warlocks. Ghost even wonders how his original fireteam was able to work well with him, given his behavior. However, it is worth noting that since his own mission into the Pyramidion, Asher has not spoken to his old Fireteam. | Asher Mir's personality is prickly, as [[Ikora Rey]] was noted to have been exasperated with him, while [[Eris Morn]] regards him as a kindred spirit and a friend.<ref name="GFEM"/> They related to each other on being changed by alien enemies.

While his experiences with the Vex have Asher | While his experiences with the Vex have Asher fixated on the alien machines, he is driven by a sense of revenge and scientific understanding, not out of a dangerous obsession to learn the Vex's secrets. As such, while unnerving, his studies on the Vex aren't as dangerous as [[Osiris]]' obsessions with the Vex or even [[Toland]], whose morbid fascination with the Hive led to his exile. His one true obsession may simply be science itself. | ||
At times, Asher tends to call the Guardian his "assistant" and tends to give them dangerous missions to aid his studies on the Vex and Taken, not particularly caring for their safety and even when they succeed and aid in his research, he doesn't even show gratitude. Even the Guardian's [[Ghost]] finds Asher infuriating at times but can't deny his expertise in science. Despite his disrespect for the Guardian, their efforts and success throughout the Red War granted them a morsel of respect from Asher. He even grows slightly concerned for their safety during their missions involving The Pyramidion, not wanting them to go through what he did, but aids them in destroying [[Brakion, Genesis Mind]]. Following [[Cayde-6]]'s death at the hands of [[Uldren Sov]], Asher notes that he paid a price for his curiosity and self-interest in the Pyramidion, and warns that the Guardian's quest for vengeance will be met with an equal and opposite reaction, a sentiment echoed by [[Zavala]] later on. Despite this sentiment, Asher possessed no love for Uldren, actually expressing gratitude that the disgraced Awoken prince was dead. | At times, Asher tends to call the Guardian his "assistant" and tends to give them dangerous missions to aid his studies on the Vex and Taken, not particularly caring for their safety and even when they succeed and aid in his research, he doesn't even show gratitude.
