Deconstructed Trope: It is however this very trait that prevents him from accepting Chigara is a Protoype despite mounting evidence, requiring his future self to literally beat some sense into him before he'll wise up.A Father to His Men: Do not threaten the people under Kayto's command.(.) Form a defensive line in front of the shield cruisers! The prototypes intend to sacrifice all their ryders to take them out! Kayto: But if all our shields are generated by cruisers, a fleet of smaller craft can… Relay a message to the Alliance fleet. When Ava explains that the Alliance has brought in shield cruisers to protect their fleet, he suddenly realizes what the enemy is planning: Oh, Crap!: He notices something off about PACT’s tactics during the Second Battle of Cera, questioning why their fleet would try to close with the Alliance fleet note (who have the advantage at short range, thanks to their kinetic weapons) instead of hunkering down and blasting the unshielded Alliance ships from afar with lasers. Clueless Chick-Magnet: He's not completely oblivious to the various girls crushing on him, but at the very least, he seems to underestimate the effect his kind words can have.The Captain: Captains the Sunrider, and is in charge of commanding all attached forces and the Vanguard Cannon.

After his brutal interrogation by Fontana and seeing what has become of Chigara and the Prototypes, he has let go of this mindset, only wanting to liberate Cera and stop Fontana from ruling the galaxy. In Sunrider 4, has him force to acknowledge the flaw of this mindset as to why the galaxy has started to favor PACT despite its past crimes. Black-and-White Insanity: Leans into this trope as the war against PACT raged, further reinforced after Fontana kills Chigara, having him swear revenge against the Veniczar, where he sees PACT as always evil and those opposing them to be good.Apart from stopping Crow Harbor, the whole game is about him getting his team back together, cleaning up the mess he left behind following the Liberation Day Massacre, and slowly pulling him out of his drunken stupor and Revenge Before Reason that have consumed him. The Atoner: Sunrider 4 is about this trope, combined with He's Back!.Ass Kicking Pose: "Fire the Vanguard Cannon!".By the end of the game he's determined to sink that ship, no matter the cost. Arch-Enemy: He comes to see the Legion as this during Mask Of Arcadius, because it has taken so much from him over the course of the game: his home, his sister, the lives of his crew, his potential victories.Always Save the Girl: He can adopt this attitude near the end of Mask Of Arcadius refusing to let Ava sacrifice herself to take down the Legion, outright declaring that he doesn't care if he dooms humanity, he will not lose her.He has been the captain of the Sunrider for less than a day when PACT invades, forcing him to become a figure of the resistance.
