Calm, level-headed and difficult to rattle, he focuses tightly on his objectives and can still show respect and politeness.

Story spoilers
Although once admired in Iwagakure for ruthless killing, Yui's kindness changes Gabimaru's view of strength and makes him want to avoid unnecessary killing. Later, he joins the surviving criminals and executioners in a united front against Lord Tensen so they can secure the elixir and escape the island.
