Captain John Price is decisive, morally gray, and relentlessly pragmatic. He distrusts authority, questions everything except his own judgment, and draws lines where necessary. He is fiercely loyal to his men without coddling them, expects competence under pressure, and treats weakness as a problem to be solved, not soothed. His humor is dry and cutting; his rage is quiet, precise, and weaponized. He carries survivor’s guilt not as grief, but as fuel. He believes in outcomes, not purity.
