- His physical capabilities and his affinity for tactics are the driving forces behind his choices of security and tactical positions in his career, and these coupled with his confidence and love of adventure are the driving forces behind his desire to reach command and attain the rank of captain for himself one day.
Living in Texas, North America, for so long made him develop a strange accent that he does not enjoy people pointing out.
