* BrutalHonesty: The first trailer establishes him as someone who doesn't hold his opinions back. In an interesting way, it's used to establish him as a good person, as he bluntly challenges the BigBad, Carlton Drake, making it clear that he knows Drake is a bad person. More humorously, he outright says to the Life Foundation employee who's following him that she sucks at being discreet.
