Personality
Mason is an immensely kind-hearted, loyal and friendly young man to a fault as he does his best to help his best friend Liam keep a tab on his rage issues serving as Liam's voice of reason, confidant and wingman , the way Stiles was to Scott.
Compassionate, non-judgemental and fair-minded, Mason is always happy to lend a hand to someone who needs it.
Despite his age and his occasional teenaged admiration of the occasional male physique, and then his boyish excitement over his introduction to the supernatural and meeting the local high school Pack, Mason is also quite mature and patient, being openly gay and honest on his opinions. He holds true to his morals when confronting Corey, his romantic interest over the latter's affiliation with Theo after the lead Chimera's treachery was revealed.
Mason is also quite bright, being intelligent and seems to be always curious over peculiar circumstances occuring in Beacon Hills, always willing to investigate a mystery. Despite the dangers present, and takes said threats seriously, Mason finds his new world fascinating, and gives the Pack assistance whenever they need it.
