* RegretfulTraitor: [[spoiler: If you are nice enough to him and make enough decisions in his favor, he shows regret for betraying Ash in Chapter 18]].
* WhatTheHellHero: He spends the first couple of minutes of Chapter 18 berating Ash for their poor decisions (and optionally for not listening to him). These include bringing ''zombies'' into the colony, allowing the daughter of a man they were trying to ally with to be injured, leaving Shannon trapped and scared (causing her to develop {{claustrophobia}} and possibly even PTSD), sparing the life of a tyrannical king (who is still planning to get back at Ash), bringing Eli back to the colony ''after he was bitten'' (and optionally refusing to turn their gun on him, even when it seemed like the cure had failed), and wandering off to rescue some colonists who were already dead. If you smashed the glass in Chapter 1, he even says that he should have known that Ash would bring him nothing but trouble.
