* AdaptationalDumbass: While they weren't exactly the most competent in canon, they actually come off as even ''dumber'' in this story. In canon, they rightly suspected that Olivier was plotting against them and tried to take measures to stop her and the Briggs army from going against them, even if they don't work. Here, they don't suspect anything about Olivier and Hakuro at all, which allows them to spring their EngineeredPublicConfession on them and expose their evil to all of Central Command.

Critically, the first person to wound Bradley does so by waiting for the perfect moment, displaying patience, the virtue opposed to wrath.
