Little is known about Ati's appearance; he has flame-red hair, and a welcoming, friendly smile. When taking on human form, he wears a robe, and has shadows moving beneath his skin, akin to spines or spider legs. They push against his form, making it pucker outwards erratically.{{msh ref|4|4}} How intense this effect is varies; it's sometimes less pronounced, and sometimes more.{{msh ref|6|1}} When speaking to Vin, Ati uses [[Reen]]'s voice, though he sounds more aged and fatherly.{{book ref|mb3|57}}
 
As a mortal, Ati was known for being kind and generous. After taking up Ruin, he fought against the destructive impulses it brought about for many years.{{wob ref|10334}} Over time, however, Ruin won out, and adapted this kindness to its own intent.{{epigraph ref|sa1|18}}{{wob ref|10334}}
 
Presently, Ati wants to see the destruction of everything in existence. He believes that all life must end eventually, and to force it to carry onward past its expiration date is cruel. In his opinion, the destruction he causes serves a creative purpose; without death, there can be no further life.{{msh ref|4|4}}{{book ref|mb3|45}} AtThrough thethis sameframework time,of Atiinterpreting ishis pridefulIntent, andhe boastful.sees Hehimself seemsas toa revelsort inof mockingcaretaker thoseof he has defeatedreality, and willas appearthe in frontrepresentative of hischange victimsitself, toand gloatof aboutnecessary hisentropy and victorydecay.{{msh ref|4|4}}{{book ref|mb3|57}} This very quality is his weak point, as it often leads him to underestimating his opponents.{{bookwob ref|mb3|8110334}}
 
At the same time, Ati is prideful and boastful. He seems to revel in mocking those he has defeated, and will appear in front of his victims to gloat about his victory.{{msh ref|4|4}}{{book ref|mb3|57}} This very quality is his weak point, as it often leads him to underestimating his opponents.{{book ref|mb3|81}}
