The Witness seems to always refer to itself in the plural; [[Savathûn]] also makes reference to the Witness having "many selves". This suggests that the Witness may be a gestalt entity or collective consciousness of some kind. | The Witness seems to always refer to itself in the plural; [[Savathûn]] also makes reference to the Witness having "many selves".

The Witness appears to possess a very calm and stoic personality, almost never expressing any perceptible emotion even in the face of setbacks to its plans. However, it does experience irritation and anger; this is shown when Calus started to lash out at The Witness after being accused of a "failure", only for The Witness, outraged, to silence him. It has been seen to speak in a flattering, almost mentor-like tone when talking directly towards the Guardians or its Disciples. | The Witness appears to possess a very calm and stoic personality, almost never expressing any perceptible emotion even in the face of setbacks to its plans.

It has been seen to speak in a flattering, almost mentor-like tone when talking directly towards the Guardians or its Disciples. However, The Witness has shown to be somewhat stringent when inquiring progress in a task they have sent one of their Disciples on. In particular with Calus, The Witness discarded any preamble and courtesy, getting to the heart of the matter in asking on progress. The Witness especially isn't moved by honeyed words or excuses in the event of a setback, as Calus attempted. | ||
Despite its stoic nature, The Witness is nonetheless a fearsome being and is often dreaded by its own followers, who very clearly fear its wrath. Savathûn, herself a god who had the power of the Light and resurrection, would rather sequester the Traveler than attempt to face the Witness. Eramis, once freed from her Stasis cocoon, is explicitly motivated by fear of what the Witness will do to her and her [[House of Salvation|House]] now that she has failed to gather the Pieces of [[Nezarec]] and failed to activate [[Abhorrent Imperative]]. Rhulk, although much more subtle about it, is quick to beg the Witness for forgiveness upon his final defeat. Calus, normally unflappable and full of braggadocio that the Witness is wasting its power, is quickly cowed by the wrath of the Witness, who quickly looms large upon Calus in anger at his commentary. | Despite its stoic nature, The Witness is nonetheless a fearsome being and is often dreaded by its own followers, who very clearly fear its wrath.
