Because of Alice, though, he's gained quite a thick skin, so he's not normally easily enraged. This makes him all the more dangerous, because while he's [[UnderStatement upset]], he won't be easily goaded into anything that could prevent him from doing something really, [[ApocalypseHow really nasty to the world]].
