Endo is notorious around the Core for being difficult to get to know. He doesn't go out of his way to be unkind to people at all, however he shows general disinterest in socializing with others. He's got too much work to do for that.
He is very family-oriented and is quite the workaholic. A lot of his apathy towards meeting others comes from his focus on working to keep his loved ones out of the Outerlands. They live in the Innards, but he is familiar with pretty much every area in the core, minus the Dead Center, which he rarely visits for a job or two.
Endo is known by other inhabitants as the local handyman, waste collector, delivery boy, shimmer harvester, and perpetual employee of the month at Fright Bites Cafe!
While he is generally well-known and respected due to his activity in the community, he doesn't speak much or like to indulge in small talk unless it's necessary, which often comes off to others as cold. A lot of people he rarely acknowledges, sometimes only calling them a nickname. Over time, people have learned to leave him be. As a result of being a bit self-isolated, he really appreciates genuine compliments that are hard to come by in his life, although he doesn't seek them out.
He has the ability to make his mouth and eyes dis/appear at will. He is often pictured with one eye and no mouth, since he sometimes doesn't feel the need for anything more than the bare minimum.
Despite not showing much interest in making friends, he holds respect for anyone that works hard, cares for their loved ones, and shows themself to be a strong person. It takes time to get to know him, but it's not impossible.
