* LeeroyJenkins: He's uncontrollable in combat, and will charge a fully defended cruiser with all flack guns firing with ten bandits on his six and won't stop until they, or he, are dead. The only time he obeys any orders other than "break and attack" is in the final mission set of ''Wing Commander III''. One of the game manuals suggests the best tactic when using him as a wingman is to use him like a ''hand grenade''. Set him loose on the bad guys, then sweep in after to clean up the mess.

Added DiffLines:

* JerkassToOne: He has it in for Blair due to being convinced that he's guilty of destroying the Tiger's Claw. The only other pilot he's nearly this harsh towards is Spirit, when the latter is suspected of being a traitor.


Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* KnightTemplar: Above all, he ultimately wants to save the human race. What [[InferredHolocaust he]] [[EvilutionaryBiologist will]] [[MoralEventHorizon to]] do [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath so]] make him almost as great a threat to humanity as the Kilrathi were. Almost.

Smug Snake involves sneakiness and I tried to use a more fitting trope. I also tried to fix a grammar mistake.


* SmugSnake: For all his talk about being superior and his zero tolerance to failure, he falls rather quickly in battle (probably because he doesn't have the advantage of technology anymore).
