Strahm was a generally rude individual, tending to speak down on both suspects and members of the police. The only people he seemed to respect to some degree were his colleagues at the FBI. Perez described him as "a bit of a hothead", as he often reacted in a loud, aggressive way when things didn't work the way he wanted and got angry rather quick. Despite this, he was a dedicated agent, eager to bring justice to criminals. Therefore, he was generally wary of the people around him.
