* VagueAge: She's young enough to still be in her childbearing years during ''Gears 5'', but a collectible in her office recounts her remembering meeting Anya toward the end of the Locust war twenty-five years earlier. Given that she was old enough to remember specific details of that meeting, she's probably somewhere in her late 30s to early 40s.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Sure, holding an impromptu trial in the middle of a warzone instead of leading your men in a battle they're clearly ''losing'' has to be one of the dumbest things ever, but he does have a point with several of the charges he levels in Kilo Squad's direction. They went against orders to (without authorization) utilize an important and devastating piece of military hardware on a city where their own forces were actively engaged in combat to neutralize a threat Loomis had only ''heard'' about, and [[spoiler: it fails to even accomplish that very task. Karn survives and is taken down by Kilo Squad and Loomis himself without any support.]] You can kind of see why he's pissed.

In fact, the main problem many of the other characters have is not the fact that there is a court-martial, but that it's happening ''right then'' [[SkewedPriorities instead of after dealing with the ongoing battle]].

* {{Foil}}: To Baird of all people. Baird is a GadgeteerGenius who [[IntelligenceEqualsIsolation would rather spend time around machinery than actual people]] and has a very dim opinion of the Stranded, especially the poor, whom he regards in ''3'' as "parasites" not worthy of the ration Cole was handing out to them. Paduk on the other hand is HopelessWithTech, though he has shades of being AFatherToHisMen, stays true to his words, does not judge people, and had time and again led groups of unaffiliated civilians with great success. As of ''4'' and ''5'', Baird is also filthy rich owing to his ownership of DB Industries, while Paduk remains poor, though it didn't bother him much, as he hated the upper class anyway.



* OddFriendship: With Baird. Despite their less-than-amicable parting in ''Aftermath'', Paduk apparently still keeps tabs on Baird and vice versa, with the latter frequently sending him supplies as well as fresh Swarm leeches to test weapons on. According to Baird in ''5'', Paduk maintains that every conversation of theirs is their "last one", though he will always pick up the phone whenever his old Kilo squaddie calls.

If you play as him in other multiplayer modes, there is also the UIR weapon skin that you can apply to any starting weapon (although it [[DownloadableContent costs real money]]).

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Her ideal is benign but her rule tends to be heavy-handed, such as her order to suppress the unrest at Settlement 2, [[spoiler: which ended with numbers of protestors being killed that let to J.D. and Walker's desertion]].

Decide, that since the bodies could not be destroyed due to being covered in crystals, to just bury them in thousands or hundreds of thousands in certain areas after the war, and hen just leave them there with nothing to monitor them. Given that the Locust were known to attack anywhere without warning, not to mention the Locust had survived their prior doomsday weapons, just leaving them there with no way to raise the alarm if anything moved was incredibly bad, especially since several Locust forms could appear to be dead and still be alive.
