Despite being an enforcer of the Archfiend, Dhuran displays a noble attitude towards the Heroes. For the sake of a fair fight, he orders his henchmen to allow the Heroes to approach him unharmed. After they pass his tests and prove they are indeed worthy adversaries, Dhuran fully heals the party so that they would not start the battle against him in a weakened state (as opposed to his less ethical peers, namely Murdaw). After the heroes defeat Dhuran, he expresses gratitude that they have provided to him a noteworthy battle and harbors no resentment for besting him in combat. As a show of gratitude, he provides to the Heroes information about the Archfiend and the true nature of what they are up against. Overall, Dhuran seems to value the sport of battle above all else, and is able to set aside his evil nature for the sake of fair combat.
