* DrowningMySorrows: Garvin mentions doing this because of his participation in the hunting of the Tulkun, which he personally disapproves of, but is how his research is funded.

* TokenGoodTeamMate: The only one on the [=SeaDragon=] crew to display any remorse on hunting the Tulkun.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/AvatarTheWayOfWater''

* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's nowhere near as brutal and bloodthirsty as Quaritch, and is persuaded to allow Grace and Jake one last try to convince the Omaticaya to evacuate Hometree when they ask Selfridge if he's willing to stand by, let Quaritch massacre innocent people and live with that blood on his hands.
-->'''Grace''': There are families in there! There are children, babies! [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Are you going to kill children]]?
-->'''Jake''': You don't want that kind of blood on your hands, trust me. Just let me try to talk them out. They trust me.
-->'''Selfridge''': You've got one hour. Unless you want [[TheChiefsDaughter your girlfriend]] in there when the axe comes down, get them to evacuate. One hour!

-->'''Grace''': Parker, these are people you're about to--!
-->'''Selfridge''': NO! No, they're fly-bitten savages who live in a tree! Look around! I don't know about you, but I see a lot of trees! They can move!

** As much as he absolutely detests all Pandoran wildlife, even he's disturbed by the whaler's cruelty and wastefulness in hunting down and disposing of the Tulkun.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Last seen taking cover from the harpoon line attached to Payakan. After that, we don't see him.

* KickTheDog: A deleted scene that was added back into the Extended Edition has him kill the Tulkun calf of the female he just slaughtered. It'd probably count as a MercyKill if he weren't so gleeful about it.

* FantasticRacism: Initially doesn't care much for the Na'vi and their ways thanks to having Quaritch's memories, although [[spoiler:having Spider around]] makes him more open to learn and do things their way.

* BenevolentBoss: He is not an objectively good guy by any measure, but he is still a very caring commander who genuinely looks out for the men under his command, and true to form, his word is his bond. Despite his initial briefing being quite stern, he's also shown to be remorseful over the fact that Pandora will still take the lives of some of his men despite his best efforts. He also shows some level of tact with Jake, even promising to give him back his legs when the job is done. That said, when he gets properly riled up, he can display a level of callous indifference towards his men. When he realizes Jake’s party is escaping, he breaks through the glass of the doors to his command center, with the people inside having next to no warning and being forced to scramble for oxygen masks while Quaritch keeps attacking.

* SmarterThanYouLook: At first glance he may come across as just an arrogant jarhead, but Quaritch has the brains to back up his brawn. He pays close attention to Jake’s intel to prepare for what he assumes is an inevitable attack, and also takes the time to watch and listen to Jake’s video logs to also keep tabs on Jake’s mental state. It’s strongly implied his conversation with Jake where he tells him his new legs are coming was a means to remind him of the mission as he recognized Jake was falling in love with Pandora.

** He made sure to watch Jake's video logs to keep an eye on his mental state, and when Jake pleads for another chance to convince the Na'vi to relocate, Quaritch is able to pull up a specific log where Jake admits that they’ll never leave Hometree, cutting the knees out from under his argument.
** He notices Jake and Grace being taken hostage and being left to die after Jake confesses to having known about the impending invasion for months. In the moment, it certainly helps the RDA’s case.
** [[spoiler:He points out to Selfridge in a deleted scene that they’re too far from Earth for him to have any meaningful jurisdiction by the time the attack on Pandora begins.]]

* DumbMuscle: He is an RDA soldier who does not appear to be that smart. He doesn’t even seem offended when Grace basically calls him an "idiot with a gun".

* KilledOffscreen: If his Recombinant Avatar body is any indication in ''The Way of Water'', he died in the final battle of the first movie, even if he wasn’t shown getting killed.

* EliteMook: They are all assigned members of Quaritch’s team, and are meant to be stronger and faster than regular human RDA soldiers thanks to their new artificial Na’vi bodies.

* BloodKnight: Loves to fight as much as the original, with his avatar body allowing him to fight evenly with the Na’vi one-on-one. He even starts his attempt to tame his Ikran without RDA tech by going up to it and punching it in the face.

* {{Determinator}}: He is so hell-bent on killing Jake that [[spoiler: the possibility of drowning to death in a sinking ship doesn’t stop him from continuing their fight underwater, rather than getting himself to safety]].

* FantasticRacism: Initially doesn’t care much for the Na’vi and their ways thanks to having Quaritch’s memories, although [[spoiler:having Spider around]] makes him more open to learn and do things their way.

* ItsPersonal: The grudge he has against Jake and his family from the original Quaritch’s memories are further solidified [[spoiler:when he learns that they were the ones who killed "him" once before]], and wants to settle the score.

* MadeOfIron: The original Quaritch was hard enough to kill, and now there’s an avatar clone of him running around.
* PapaWolf: PlayedWith. While being Quaritch’s clone means that [[spoiler:Spider technically isn’t ''his'' son]], and he acknowledges as much, he still tends to get protective of him.

* WouldHurtAChild: He holds Jake’s children captive and threatens to kill them. [[spoiler: Downplayed, as he is not willing to see his own son hurt.]]

* EcocidalAntagonist: They want to strip-mine Pandora for {{Unobtanium}}, and are more than willing to deforest planets for it. In the sequel, they seek to harvest amrita by fatally extracting it from the whale-like tulkum. They also have more than enough military power and willingness to violently drive off anyone who opposes their ecocidal plans.

* EcocidalAntagonist: They want to strip-mine Pandora for {{Unobtanium}}, and are more than willing to deforest planets for it. They also have the military power and willingness to violently drive off anyone who opposes their ecocidal plans.

* TattooedCrook: She is an antagonist with several tattoos on her body.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: He is technically at most only 5 years old when he wakes up/gains consciousness for the first time, but looks and acts like the adult man he was effectively cloned from and given the memories of.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: He was last seen getting knocked unconscious from Jake throwing an RDA soldier at him during the final battle on the [=SeaDragon=], but is not shown dying. It is more than likely he ended up drowning as the boat was sinking into the depths of the ocean, even if they NeverFoundTheBody.]]
