In his youth, Braxiatel was overconfident and more sensible than his younger brother. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Empire of Glass (novel)|The Empire of Glass]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The 100 Days of the Doctor (audio story)|The 100 Days of the Doctor]]'') He had a great interest in the universe and strove to gather as much knowledge as he could from it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tears of the Oracle (novel)|Tears of the Oracle]]'') The Doctor referred to Braxiatel as "an occasional collaborator in adventures of the mind, the soul and the body". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Banquo Legacy (novel)|The Banquo Legacy]]'') Braxiatel told the Oracle of the Lost that he missed his brother, but knew he was always out there, and that was what he believed real family should be. He considered Bernice Summerfield to be the closest thing to family he had found since leaving his home.

Suave, smart ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wake (audio story)|The Wake]]'') and politically savvy, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'', etc.) Braxiatel believed that the universe was a place of disorder and disarray. He believed that if someone didn't manipulate the chaos, the universe would get into all sorts of trouble. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Propaganda War (short story)|The Propaganda War]]'') So long as he had a good enough reason, he was willing to stoop to any low ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Disassembled (audio story)|Disassembled]]'') and was willing to break Gallifreyan laws despite being a [[Lord Cardinal|cardinal]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Inquiry (audio story)|The Inquiry]]'') only ever doing what he thought best. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Mirror Effect (audio story)|The Mirror Effect]]'') He was once described as a "self-obsessed narcissist with a God complex" ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Tub Full of Cats (audio story)|The Tub Full of Cats]]'') and [[Jason Kane]] said that, should one cut him open there would be the word "bastard" running through him like a stick of rock.

Braxiatel was charming ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Reborn (audio story)|Reborn]]'') but found it difficult to convey sympathy and, as a result, generally did not try. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Doomsday Manuscript (novel)|The Doomsday Manuscript]]'') However, he was not self-centred nor entirely unsympathetic, staying with [[Romana (Reborn)|an alternate Romana]] that he had shared a flirtatious relationship as she [[regeneration|regenerated]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Reborn (audio story)|Reborn]]'') [[Romana II]] found it "unnerving" when Braxiatel was quiet. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Weapon of Choice (audio story)|Weapon of Choice]]'') He had no problems with swearing, referring to [[Cybermen]] as "metal bastards".
