Flynn is, effectively, a polymath, highly intelligent and resourceful. His years of study have made his powers of observation and deductive skills comparable with those of Sherlock Holmes. His ordinary skills (which did not qualify him for the job) include knowledge of the Dewey decimal system, the Library of Congress research paper orthodoxy, web searching, and the ability to set up an RSS feed. En route to his first mission, Flynn managed to decode the previously untranslated Language of the Birds in just over seven hours, a feat that no other Librarian (save one, who created the book) had been able to translate.
Flynn rapidly evolves into a brave hero, not easily overwhelmed by the supernatural. He is/was taught how to fight (sword, lance, staff etc) by the magical sword Excalibur (who, oddly, is considered his 'best friend') and acquires skills as quickly as he can read.
His geeky bookishness is coupled with a razor-sharp wit that unfortunately has a habit of manifesting itself at the worst times. Flynn hates being corrected. He is a bit awkward meeting women, as well as too busy globe-trotting and fighting evil to maintain a relationship. His mother is constantly trying to set him up on dates - including once with his 3rd cousin - which he hates and is embarrassed by.
