- Stepford Smiler: Hides a lot of grief behind his goofy demeanor and is prone to faking smiles in order to hide his feelings of sadness and regret. So much so that the prime reason he refused to take off his mask after the war was because he couldn't fake a smile no matter how hard he tried, let alone actually smile.
- Trauma Conga Line: Just about everything that happened to him in the war can be summed up as this.
- Wouldn't Hurt a Child: He refuses to allow harm to come to a child whether from himself or others even if said child tries to kill him.
