They're both cheerful, whimsy, and generally easygoing womanizers who will gladly take advantage of their good looks to flirt with nearly every female they come across, to varying degrees of success. They don't always get along very well with the male members of their parties and are often seen as perverts by their allies, yet both are actually a lot more profound than they let on. Zelos and Inigo are remarkably chivalrous at heart, as they've personally stepped in to help out troubled maidens or offer up some surprising words of wisdom to their friends on plenty of occasions.

Deep down, their womanizing natures are mostly used as facades in order to cope with the tragic events of their pasts and to hide their own insecurities. To start, the two of them actually originated from different worlds (or a different timeline in Awakening) than the main protagonists of their settings, where their early lives were less than comforting to say the least. Their mothers were murdered at an early age, which forced both of them to undertake greater responsibilities in order for Zelos to protect his younger sister and Inigo to provide support for the other children of the future. To top it all off, it's entirely possible for both of them to be fought and killed depending on the player's choices at certain points in the story, though these instances are non-canon in the long run.
