* BerserkButton: He doesn't like it when history gets damaged. When a Kaiju fight ends up wrecking the NDV ''Admiral Sergey Gorshkov'' aircraft carrier, he enters a state of TranquilFury and moves to smite the Kaiju where it stands.
* CombiningMecha: The Beowulf's specialty is combining with its support units to adapt to any situation.
** Combining it with the Shepherd cargo truck gives it the Timberwolf formation, a MightyGlacier that can take blows and dish them out just as hard.
** Combining it with the TMU/Falcon modular aircraft gives it its Foxhound formation, a FragileSpeedster that can outfly almost anything and deliver punishing lightning blasts.
* HiddenDepths: Has a fascination with historical battles and tactics. In fact, the reason he joined the army was to pay for his history degree.
* LikeADuckTakesToWater: As a radar technical officer, he was expected to remain on the back lines, but Sam Carlson's psychic testing showed that he had aptitude with the Man-Machine Interface, and his adaptability and instinct soon led to him becoming the Institute's first Super Robot pilot.

* JumpedAtTheCall: When she is told that an alien artifact has chosen her as the ideal candidate with the right amount of conviction, courage and compassion to become a Champion of Varulne, empowering her to enable her to fight an alien force, she wastes no time signing up since it'll mean being able to help her Kausen friends.
