== Personality ==
Ethan is always energetic, which can be a burden to others, but he's also very creative and is always trying to improve his own abilities. Eugene has a special gift in that he can discern the best parts of others' ideas and improve them until they are truly great. Eugene has a passion for saving the world and helping people. He is quick to pity those in need, and he is willing to do anything he can to help. Eugene's biggest fault is that he tends to be over-enthusiastic. He is good at what he does, but he can come across as self-interested or even selfish. However, for the most part these traits are minor, and don't overshadow his overall positive outlook on life.
Eugene is an extremely kind and loyal friend. He is fairly intelligent and is capable of being a very good friend. Eugene has a good heart and is a very moral person, but he can be gullible. While he may not always be entirely honest, Eugene will not miss an opportunity to help someone in need. Eugene is a very active person and loves to move around.
Kittridge is ruthless, and opportunistic person who genuinely believes that Ethan is the mole. Upon learning that Ethan was framed and that Phelps is the real mole, Kittridge works with Ethan to take Phelps down. Decades later, he ends up being this once again as he tries to stop Ethan from getting the key to Sevastapol and destroy the Entity before the U.S. could make use of it.

Decades later, he ends up being this once again as he tries to stop Ethan from getting the key to Sevastapol and destroy the Entity before the U.S. could make use of it.
In Dead Reckoning Part One, he wants the key to Sevastapol and the power that comes with it. While he understands Ethan's position of not wanting the Entity to fall into the wrong hands, he deems that the best way to do that is to ensure that he gets his hands on the key and nobody else, and he also won't let Ethan destroys it, either. To that end, he manipulates Ethan and his team to get it for him, not telling them about his amoral motifs.
