When things get too stressful he will retreat into himself and spend a long time alone until he feels recharged.
BIOGRAPHY! His love of stories and folklore came from his grandfather who would tell him spooky stories when he came to visit during the holidays. Dorian was a bookworm growing up but for horror stories and weird creatures, anything spooky and so he cultivated that love into an appreciation of folklore and actual stories from history. Even though he was a bookworm Dorian was well liked by his fellow students and had plenty of friends growing up. He flitted from social circle to different social circle with ease and was just a really great friend to many different people. He played football (soccer) all the way from primary school to Univserity and still plays to this day with a local community team. He is passionate about his favorite team and has season tickets.

They are well known around campus for spending much of their free time together. While there are rumors they're lovers, none of that is true. They're just friends. Dorian has spent most of his life single, never staying with anyone long. He is one of the teachers students often develope crushes on and rate highly on those rate my professor websites. He's the sort of teacher who will take his class outside on beautiful days and once even took a class to a pub on a day when only a handful of students showed up. Yet, he's not alone. He has a younger sister who is married and has kids. He spends time with them as well. He also has a popular podcast about creatures from folklore and mythology and occasionally does live shows around London.
