"It's orders from above, so, sorry." "That's an inefficient tactic. I'm staying out of it, even if you die." "All humans die eventually. It's just a matter of whether it's sooner or later." "It's a bit troubling when people are wary of me for no reason." "I'll pray as a fellow professional that you don't come back in a small box tomorrow." "I'm a dangerous person after all, so if you hang around me too much, people will look at you weirdly too. I don't mind if you don't, though." As described, he has a rather nasty personality.
