Personality: On the surface, László seems like a perfectly personable sort of Cainite. They're polite, friendly, willing to crack a few jokes or acknowledge that they're a weird, awkward person at the heart of it all. This belies a truly fucking terrifying nature, in which, like many Tzimisce, they're willing to commit multiple war crimes as a matter of course all in the name of research or some other nebulous goal. They also take hospitality and holding to one's word very seriously, though, and will refuse to go back on their word or harm anyone they have explicitly given protection to. This seems like a weird combination of traits, but they're good at compartmentalizing like that.
On the subject of compartmentalizing, they're also trying their damndest to make a clear distinction between their pre-vampire and post-vampire self. They'll openly talk about their pre-vampire life to those who they believe won't judge them for it, but in their mind, this is also a chapter of their life that they have a level of detachment from and are now no longer part of, sort of like someone without trauma describing their high school days. This got a bit messier once Aranka was revealed to not actually be dead, but here we are.
Underneath all of this, however, is bits and pieces of their old life that somehow, by the grace of Cain the dark father, still survived the Embrace and their subsequent descent into being a fucking monster. They dote on creatures they take responsibility for, whether that creature is a ghoul or one of their custom-crafted flesh monstrosities...just as they used to be a doting parent in their mortal life. They have the same insecurities about social situations, the same weird sense of humor, the same taste in aesthetics. Sure, the embrace has made them more confident, but that might just be the weight of dysphoria having finally been lifted.
The pain of having to reconcile this with their new reality has lessened considerably than from when they were trying to abide by human morals. They no longer do, and they continue to strive to improve themselves in ways only they understand. This is probably going to be put on hold as they take the life of a Pokemon breeder and get really into the weird eugenics of EVs and IVs as a proxy for the self-improvement they sought after previously.
