Metody truly does, in a number of ways, remind The Shadow of Harry Vincent. It's the sheer undeniably likeable quality, and the way he's friendly to utterly everyone. The Shadow can't quite understand how someone can maintain that sort of personality, but he respects and values it as something he's incapable of himself. The inhuman aspect of Metody is something that interests him, but at the same time it's somewhat confusing and he senses it would be tactless to ask too much about it directly. He hopes to better comprehend it over time, watching and waiting and gathering clues from seeing how Metody does his bonework. He also finds what he can do terribly useful, on a purely practical level, and he's not above exploiting that.
