Like Cygna, Hiems comes from Phoenix Covenant.
After the start of the saga, his priority were in getting his Muto and Vim to a high enough level that he could contribute to the Aegis through Wizard's Communion.
Due to the infernal spirit plaguing Lady Cygna, he thereafter endeavored to learn and master Demon's Eternal Oblivion, hoping to someday be able to destroy the spirit plaguing her. In the meantime, this would ensure he's be able to protect somewhat his sodales. That is, if he wasn't befallen first. He thus spent 1 year learning Parma Magica, in order to resist most creatures powers. He spend some time increasing his arts, until the moment where he and his sodales had to face wizard's war due to Jaime's actions and enemies. He survived, but barely. He thus endeavored to spend another year increasing his Parma Magica, and also to learn and master an indirect spell, to be able to strike at foes which had too high a MR. In the throes of the Phoenix's death, he was learning and practicing on his Finesse towards that goal.
He wants very little, being quite depressive since his love, under the advice of her confessor (which may or not have been a pious man, a jealous man, a holy man or a demon's thrall. More on that in his background) spurned him. Quite reclusive, too, since being alone and quiet is almost the only way for him to have a semblance of peace. This suits him, as his beauty often brings him all kind of unwanted attention. Nonetheless, he holds chevalrous ideals, and believes that he should protect the weak. He especially can't resist a Damsel in distress: Although a woman may very well be able to fend for herself, and he recognize this fully, he can't help but feel it as his duty to protect them. Should he seek something, it'll be among these two lines: Find a way to create a "fortress of solitude" for him, and become a magical champion for those who need him. Before his loss, he was somewhat interested in ancient legends and seeker lore, so this may hold his interest, but unless something stumbles upon him, he won't go for it. Not any more.
