* Hawkeye is friends with Leo and sees him as a good person, because Hawkeye is a horrible person himself. After all, he wouldn't be hanging around with Leo if they didn't share some things in common, such as their willingness to kill people who wrong them and deny them the things they feel they deserve.

** -->'''Redd''': Still hanging around that bandit, I see?
** -->'''Hawkeye''': Yeah, so what? Leo's a good guy, I don't see why you have a problem with him.
** -->'''Leo''': Look, I'm just trying to make a living in these trying times. I'm not sure why you care so much about ''how'' I make my money.
** -->'''Redd''': [[ArmorPiercingQuestion How many like Leo have you killed, Hawkeye?]] Bandits who cut down the lives of others and cheated them out of their livelihoods. Bandits that you cut down without a second thought.
** -->'''Hawkeye''': I don't know. What, do you expect me to keep track of everyone I kill like some sort of psychopath.
** -->'''Leo''': Lay off him, you puritan! Those other bandits had it coming! They're willing to raid villages while killing and raping everyone they see and you're saying that I'm no different to them. What bullshit!
** -->'''Redd''': Honestly, Hawkeye? You tolerate everything Leo does because he's on your side. Because you don't want to think about the horrible things he's done and because you wouldn't be hanging around him if [[CommonalityConnection you didn't share something in common with him.]] Perhaps you're a horrible person yourself and you simply don't want to admit it, do you?
** -->'''Hawkeye''': [[RageBreakingPoint You son of a bitch!]] You think you can come in here, and all high and mighty towards us! You royal guards are nothing more than privileged scum who think themselves superior to us while doing everything they can to [[TallPoppySyndrome cut the rest of us down to size!]] Let's kill this motherfucker!
** -->'''Leo''': Agreed.

* '''Straight''': [[TheHero Hawkeye's]] best friend is [[TheLancer Leo]], a former bandit who's implied to have done some pretty questionable things in his past and isn't afraid to lie, cheat, steal and manipulate to get what he wants -- but they're [=BFFs=], so that's okay. [[TheRival Redd]], meanwhile, is a charming, compassionate young guardsman working to protect their community... Unfortunately, he's also caught [[SatelliteLoveInterest Suzy]]'s interest, so Hawkeye, and the readers, hate his guts.
