A torn individual, Raistlin exhibits a strong superiority complex, and knows almost nothing of true loyalty to others. He only follows LoD, because he feels that doing so will ultimately benefit him. (At one point, early in Dragons of Winter Night he tells Laurana: "I do not follow LoD. We are merely traveling in the same direction... for the time being.") He is also condescending and extremely resentful regarding his lack of physical strength, especially as he is often forced to rely on his twin brother for support, generating feelings of jealousy towards his twin rather than feelings of affection and gratitude. Raistlin harbors a secret hate for his twin’s physical power and easygoing manner, and for the attention and comradeship it seems to earn him, as Raistlin’s own ugly appearance and secretive nature causes others to be mistrustful and apprehensive.
