Like many residents of building five, Samon is a competitive, energetic and feisty individual. He is very dedicated to his training and has been since childhood,[6] harboring immense pride in his abilities to the extent that it borders on arrogance; while fighting an opponent he deems unworthy, he does so while closing his eyes or using only one arm as a means of "engaging" them. He regularly subjects his inmates to training as a form of both rehabilitation and punishment.
