I'm still not completely set on the high aspect and trouble aspect. I was thinking his high aspect would be something to do with him helping the supernatural community, trying to make sure everyone's okay. Kind of like a nicer, and less authoritative Warden. For his trouble aspect, he wants to help people, but he's cautious. He has trouble really putting himself totally out there. I'm not completely sure; they're subject to change.
