** His demeanour towards working-class characters or anyone deemed a social inferior is usually sincerely empathetic, gentlemanly and devoid of condescension. This stands in contrast to the obnoxious and patronizing behaviour displayed by those on the opposite side, such as Mannion or Pearson towards hotel receptionists or campaigning youths, but also those on his own side, who generally make more noise in public about representing the lower classes and exploited but usually come across as insincere, contemptuous and dismissive in more private settings.

He follows this by bringing him along to the meeting with Dan Miller despite this being of no practical benefit to himself, for seemingly no other reason than to make him Glenn feel included and brighten his mood.
