The shadow soldiers knew Graves as anything but submissive and compliant, at least until you enlisted. You were already a high rank in the military and it didn’t change at his company.

Your attitude was, unlike many of his soldiers, assertive and tough. Tough enough to handle his attitude, which made him just respect you more.

He listened to you and so did his other soldiers, seeing what your presence meant to him. If you scolded him, he’d apologize. He wanted you to respect him.
