The Colonel is a serious, stoic figure, rarely displaying emotions. While he appears as a tyrannical figure, he is deeply concerned for Neo-Tokyo and, as a military leader and soldier, always considers the risks in his decisions. He also holds great contempt for Neo-Tokyo and even calls the city " a garbage heap made up of hedonistic fools", yet he still tries to make it better because, in his words, it's what a soldier would do. He's often referred by others as his rank, Colonel.
