Doniol is a good guy. He's a hard worker, smart, thoughtful in decision making, and decisive in action taking. Unlike some of his peers in Vancouver, Doniol went through several years of a traditional apprenticeship before entering training as one of the battle mages. Because of that he has a bit more versatility than other marshals.
Doniol's family background is Welsh and, though he doesn't have an accent, he speaks some of the language. He also has some fey blood in his background, which gets alluded to on several occasions. The Unseelie Queen comments that his ancestor was one of hers.
He often uses his sword to channel his energy, rather than a staff like Duke does. He also carries a hawk-hilt dagger and various other magickal and mundane weaponry. He is very accomplished with air magick, his default element to use in combat is lightning, and is skilled with both veils and dealing with incorporeal beings. The shield he employs is the more common force-shield many marshals use, though this is in part because of the preferences of Evert Harcourt, the High Marshal in Vancouver where he did all his training.
He is inexperienced when he gets assigned to Minneapolis. He believes Harcourt made the assignment because he was a supporter of Captain Fredrik Thornwell, whose friendship with Duke Soller was the final straw in the strained relationship between the two men. Doniol believes that when Harcourt realized Fredrik was going to get reassigned and promoted, the High Marshal wanted to get rid of as many of Thornwell's supporters as possible. Whether that is true or not, it colors his opinion of the commander of all the marshals in North America.
Still, he tries his best to take control of the situation in Minneapolis after he is assigned. He gradually comes to like Duke, developing a deep respect for the mage's skill and compassion.
