Personality
Bonnivier is level-headed, mostly chill and laid-back in his streams. When he does get excited he starts screaming and laughing, sometimes also clapping his hands in amusement. He plays games the way he wants, unfazed by backseaters, but when some viewers do get to him Bonnivier doesn't hesitate to speak his mind out, sometimes roasting the offender in the process. Even so, Bonnivier still apologizes to his viewers for his words and later makes amends to those that offended him, ensuring that his stream continues without any awkwardness in the air.

Bonnivier likes cracking jokes on stream. He also has a wide knowledge of references and memes, often being described as "cultured" or "based" by his viewers. He's also a man who likes trying new things and wouldn't mind sharing the knowledge to his viewers when asked.

Lore
During his new costume reveal on 4 March 2022, it was shown in a short clip that prior to becoming a fisherman, he worked as a mercenary-for-hire under the code name "Angler". He worked alone. During the second day of his assignment, Angler infiltrated an unknown location given to him by Siren (voiced by Mika Melatika). Just as he was escaping the area after clearing his objective, the place got showered with missiles and blew up. Following a green flare to a safe location after requesting help from Siren, Angler barely escaped with his life.

Despite mission success, Angler was left with questions in which Siren refused to give answers to, saying that he was "just a mercenary we hired," and that he was "not involved in this matter." Since there was nothing else left for Angler to do, Siren also tells him to go home, suggesting Angler to be with his brother, or go fishing until the next assignment. Later, Angler receives a notification from "Winterbound Security Foundation", hinting what may come next in his story.
