Personality
Mustard has been shown to be pragmatic. He believes that it is very important to wait until the right time before striking. He believes that function is more important than style when it comes to support gear and he scolded Himiko Toga for thinking otherwise. He believes that no matter how impressive a person's Quirk is, it doesn't change the fact that they're still only human.

Mustard being merciless, kicking Tetsutetsu while he's down and can't breathe.
He has also been shown to be exceptionally merciless. He brought a gun to the Vanguard Action Squad's raid on the forest training camp and tried to kill both Tetsutetsu and Itsuka with it.[1]
Mustard seems to bear jealousy and resentment towards U.A. students, as he constantly mocked Itsuka Kendo and Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu for being "pitifully simple", calling them too straightforward and lamenting how they are "pampered by the world" due to their school's reputation alone.[2] He claims that such things are what's wrong with the world.
He is very proud of himself, his Quirk, his skills, and his accomplishments. Because of this, he has a tendency to boast.
Abilities
Overall Abilities: Mustard is a capable villain because of his intelligence. He has a good grasp on the capabilities of his Quirk and was able to use them to compete with two U.A. students in a fight at the same time. However, Mustard is not a strong combatant without the use of a weapon and his quirk. He does not seem to possess any hand-to-hand combat skills and relies on the use of his gun to inflict damage.
Skilled Marksmanship: Mustard appears to be a proficient marksman, able to destroy Tetsutetsu's mask with a single, precise shot. His ability to sense the location of enemies within the gas he creates assists his targeting.
Quirk

Mustard producing toxic gas.
Gas (ガス Gasu?): Mustard's Quirk allows him to generate a vast typhoon of sleep-inducing gas. He is also able to detect any movement within the gas by reading its fluctuation.
Mustard has to continually produce the gas and it will quickly disappear if he stops. He is also not immune to his own gas and needs to wear a gas mask in order to use it.
