Like all Herdazians, Lopen has slate-colored crystalline fingernails. He is a short, spindly, brown-haired man in his early twenties,{{wob ref|4386}} with skin just a shade too dark to be Alethi. He had an old slave brand on his forehead, but that is now covered with a [[Bridge Four#Tattoos|Bridge Four tattoo]]. Most strikingly, when he joins Bridge Four he is missing his left arm,{{book ref|sa1|32}}{{wob ref|6620}} although he eventually regrows it with Stormlight.{{book ref|sa2|87}}
 
He speaks with a quick accent{{book ref|sa1|40}}{{book ref|sa1|32}} and has a tendency to use Herdazian words like ''gon'', ''gancho'', or ''mancha'' when referring to people he's talking to.
 
Lopen has a very positive outlook in life. Despite experiencing great misfortunes, he never accepts these things as part of his identity,{{wob ref|8436}} and even jokes about his disability.{{book ref|sa1|73}}{{book ref|sa2|12}} He is often nonchalant, exhibits the stereotypical{{book ref|sa1|i|4}} Herdazian arrogance (e.g. calling himself "The Lopen" and liberally using rude gestures when insulted,{{book ref|sa1|62}}{{book ref|sa2|41}}{{book ref|sa3|121}}) and has a sense of humor that people around him find strange.{{book ref|sa2|76}} Even so, Lopen proves himself to be both compassionate and reliable.
 
Lopen refers to himself as "The Lopen", this nickname was first used by his cousins because they didn't know of anyone else named Lopen. Lopen has asked many people (one to two hundred) and none of them have ever known anyone named Lopen other than himself.{{book ref|sa1|32}}

As he was racing back to the ship, Lopen ran into a giant hordeling and he rescued Huio from its jaws. The two proceeded to fight the creature together to give the crew a chance to escape. Lopen tried to swear the Third Ideal, but was unsuccessful, which caused him to ask Rua if [[Phendorana]] had a hand in preventing his progress.{{book ref|sa3.5|17}} He attempted another attack, but a hordeling bred to have the powers of a larkin drained away his Stormlight causing him to fall down to the ground and break his leg. When the monster turned towards him Huio flew between Lopen and the creature, swore the Third Ideal and proceeded to summon [[Caelinora]] as a Shardhammer which he used to shatter the hordeling's arm. Shortly afterward, Huio killed it with a Shardspear through the head. The two escaped while Rysn's negotiation continued underground.{{book ref|sa3.5|15}}
 
Back at the ship, Lopen and Huio discussed the Third Ideal. Lopen congratulated his cousin on beating him to the ideal, although he struggled to do so as he had an inkling that Huio's oath had been related to him and thought Huio might harbor ill will for him. Lopen took their discussion to heart and vowed to protect others, even if that meant protecting them from himself. The [[Stormfather]] heard this and accepted Lopen's Third Ideal.{{book ref|sa3.5|18}}{{book ref|sa3.5|epilogue}}
