Personality:
From Tasuki no Miko's manga translations, Watase Yuu spoke thus regarding Mitsukake:
"A quiet man, with an unchanging facial expression. On the surface you may think he's hard to get to know as he is unsociable, but really he's just shy and doesn't know how to express himself. His weakness is animals and sick people. And also children. Has a very good bedside manner and would probably sacrifice himself to take care of others. A calm and kind man. Even now he holds feelings for his dead lover inside his heart."

My own thoughts:
Mitsukake is an incredibly loyal and noble man. He has the soul of a true doctor; one who wants to save whoever he can at any cost to himself. As a result, if for any reason he is prevented from doing that, he feels a failure. This is why he retreated from society and became a hermit, which I can understand; he would rather not know who needs his help than try -- and fail -- to help them.

I have to say, I don't feel that Mitsukake was incredibly well developed as a character in the anime. Perhaps there is more on him in the manga, though...

I really feel for his relationship with his beloved Shoka, but after that subplot is over there isn't a whole lot for him to do except be strong and silent. And make the occasional witty observation (which he does well ^_^).

All I'll add here is... it must take an incredible amount of strength to have the ability to heal and not be able to use it when it's really needed. Mitsukake's a strong soul; a very strong soul.
