* AntiHero: After his imprisonment, he suffers from some severe trust issues, and is ''brutal'' towards his enemies. One of the first things he does after 'escaping' is casually [[InfoDump ranting what happened to him for the last few years]] to a suicidal man, then walking off when the man tries to tell his own backstory, which predictably leads to the man's suicide. Later, he casually steals some sunglasses from a random woman, deliberately picks a fight with random teenagers, and tries to assault the ''woman giving him shelter.'' He's still overall a sympathetic character, however, which makes what happens to him all the worse.
