Those around him view him as an eccentric old man. He hated to be disturbed and even had a sign on his door to ward off uninvited visitors. It is true that socializing was not something he was skilled at although he had good natured quarrels and shared drinks with Gen from time to time. It was Gen who dragged Kamandol into the Toran Liberation Army when he perceived that Kamandol's work could aid the party in navigating the Rapids of Dunan.
During the Gate Rune War, Gen and Kamandol improved their design, creating a motor that allowed for higher speeds. At Toran Castle, he would work away in the castle's laboratory day and night. Following the war, Kamandol simply resumed his alchemical studies, as preoccupied with them as ever.
