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
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}}
