* TheHero: he is viewed as this by most of the pilots under his command, with the exception of Guts, Rehl, and D-Ray, who speak to him as a friend first, commander second. In the final series of battles, as NRF attacks the [[spoiler: United States]], General La Pointe makes it clear that the pilots of Task Force 108 will save the day, and then makes an unspoken point of singling out Bishop.

* PlaguedByNightmares: He is plagued by recurrent nightmares of getting shot down over Miami by a Russian jet with a shark mouth painted on its nose. This turns out to be a case of PropheticDreams, as Bishop later learns that that plane belongs to a RenegadeRussian ace, giving an otherwise stoic Bishop a bad case of anxiety when the two of them ''do'' duke it out over Miami.
