Cirvesh manages to keep up a socially acceptable facade for the most part when around others in his clan, pretending to have normal interests like collecting pretty crystals or battling in the Coliseum. If you look closely enough, however, you might notice the slightly unhinged smirk that's forever subtly present on his face, belying the madness that lies within. He may have dabbled in some alchemy once or twice, or perhaps communed with the Shade, purely out of curiosity of course, but it's not like it really matters because no one will ever suspect.
