* DirtyCoward: Russo comments to Rawlins about this at one point, noting Frank goes berserk on him he notes that Rawlins had the same fear that his torture victims had, and that the "only reason that you ever wanted Frank dead was so that you could pretend that he never made you feel like a man about to die".

* DirtyCoward: Russo comments He takes great pleasure in torturing people to Rawlins about this death, and even gets a little bit of excitement at one point, noting the look of despair his victims have when they realize they are doomed to die. When Frank goes berserk on him he notes that for sending the squad into an ambush, Russo recalls Rawlins had the same showing a similar look of fear on his face. Years later, Russo posits that his torture victims had, and that the "only reason that you ever wanted Rawlins' attempts to kill Frank dead was so that you could pretend are really because [[EvilIsPetty Frank's a walking reminder of a time that he never made you feel like a man about to die".genuinely feared for his life]].



* {{Hypocrite}}: The man tries to make it look like everything he's done is for the sake of America's security. Emphasis on ''tries''; it's completely blown away by his taking part in his own country's drug trade and doing so by desecrating the bodies of dead servicemen in what may be the most horrific way possible.

* LackOfEmpathy: He tells Marion that serving the greater good doesn't motivate him to burn Russo for killing Sam Stein and four other Homeland agents, sounding [[EvilCannotComprehendGood genuinely confused as to why someone would act against their own self-interest.]]
** He also shows little concern for the soldiers under his command, at one point writing off Frank's ([[CassandraTruth accurate]]) suspicions that their mission is an ambush. When the traumatized and wounded survivors return, Rawlins only looks at them with a bored expression and asks if they neutralized their target.
** When he sends some of Russo's operatives after Gunner and Frank in the forest, he watches through their helmet-cams and shows no emotion when they're picked off, only switching feeds to still living soldiers.

* MilesGloriosus: He claimed he lost the sight in his eye in the line of duty rather than due to Frank hitting him for his stupidity. In general, he's also pretty big on making himself out to be a brave CIA veteran rather than the coward he is.

* SmugSnake: He is a true-blue scumbag that cares nothing about the opinions of other people even if hearing them could prevent deaths, ''especially'' not from 'grunts', as he believes that he himself is ''far'' above them and sees soldiers as nothing more than weapons to point and dispose of once used (even saying as much to their faces ''multiple times''). Russo also at one point gives him a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech where he says that Rawlins seemed to get borderline sexual pleasure out of the torturing he did as part of Task Force Cerberus, but when Frank attacked him and he had to confront his own mortality, he was just as afraid of dying as those he tortured. Its shown during his torture sessions with Frank later that, while he's a sadist who loves dealing out damage and pain, he ''can not'' take any himself as, whenever Frank gets just a ''little bit'' free, he turns into a screaming, begging mess, powerless to stop him.

* DirtyCoward: The reason Rawlins doesn't warn him that Frank is after him is because he has "the instincts of a rat and the courage of a rabbit." Judging from his reaction when Frank comes calling, it wasn't an inaccurate assessment. Of course, Bennett isn't too happy with Russo and Rawlins for keeping him in the dark.
