In public, Madarame comes off as polite, humble, and soft-spoken with a passion for the arts and pride in his impressive collection of art over the years. In truth, Madarame is an amoral, greedy con man with an extremely self-centered view of the world and a bloated sense of self-importance, believing that he is a "God of the Art World" despite all of his current "works" are just his pupil's work with his name slapped on it.
