A taciturn man, Humphrey's silence caused some confusion in others, such as when [[Mathiu Silverberg]] asked Humphrey to report whether the Toran Liberation Army's meeting with the Dragon Knights was a success<ref>"Uh huh." - Humphrey Mintz<br>".........? Did you manage to secure an alliance?" - Mathiu Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Flik told Mathiu that Humphrey could just be a little friendlier to others<ref>"Don't worry, Medical Officer. It's just that Humphrey could be a little friendlier to others." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Humphrey was mostly a loner and Futch expressed surprise at the idea that Humphrey had friends<ref>"Humphrey has friends...?" - Futch ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. Humphrey's silence was not perceived as cold, but rather as shyness to some<ref>"Sir Humphrey sure is quiet. But not in a cold sort of way... He's just shy. Probably." - Woman ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.

Despite his silent nature, Humphrey would occasionally open up to others. Before the [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], Humphrey told Mathiu Silverberg how he had attacked his commander during the Kalekka incident; it had been the first time, and, he hoped, the last time, he had attacked someone out of sheer hatred<ref>"That was the first time I attacked someone out of pure hatred. And I hope... that it was the last time." - Humphrey Mintz ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Humphrey also enjoyed a long talk with ~~Riou~~ and paid for the young man's room in gratitude<ref>"Mr. Humphrey said talking to you was 'nice. . . . .' To express his gratitude, he paid for your lodgings tonight." - Lucy ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.

Humphrey was highly practical, and despite his shock at hearing of the death of Odessa Silverberg, he immediately recognized that Tir McDohl would be able to succeed Odessa as a leader<ref>"......... .........We need a leader. And Tir is doing well." - Humphrey Mintz ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. When Humphrey and Futch discovered [[Bright]], Humphrey was prepared to destroy Bright should Futch fail to accept him, despite the rarity of the creature<ref>"So I guess you don't need this egg or the beast asleep inside. I'll use my sword to destroy it." - Humphrey Mintz ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. Despite his practicality, Humphrey could also be empathetic, and comforted Futch over [[Black]]'s death<ref>"It wouldn't be a betrayal to have a new dragon. My memories of Black's death are precious, but I won't have to forget that. And it's no reason to close the door to the future." - Humphrey Mintz ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
