Parker Selfridge's Relationships
== Friends and Allies ==
=== Miles Quaritch ===
Miles Quaritch was Parker's right hand man.
They seemed to have a mutual liking for one another, however Parker was very suspicious of the Colonel and was secretly distrusting of him due to his questionable methods when dealing with the Na'vi as well being implied to be greatly intimated by Quaritch, greatly rendering Parker's own authority over him somewhat meaningless. Although not as ruthless as Quaritch, Parker allowed him to deploy the gunships to the Hometree, however the Colonel escalated the disaster and destroyed it, which is not what Parker wanted.
They were teasing each other while Quaritch was recording a video log two hours before the Battle of Ayram Alusìng. Parker was explaining about Recombinants and Quaritch seemed annoyed.
== Enemies and Rivals ==
=== Grace Augustine ===
Parker and Grace did not get along very well.
They quarreled throughout the course of the film. When Jake Sully first arrived on Pandora, Grace took the replacement of Tom Sully by a former Marine as an insult from Parker. Parker ignored Grace on several occasions. After she tried to explain the biology of the forest, Parker laughed at her, thinking that she was not in her right mind. However, when Grace told him that children may die in the assault on the Hometree, he seemed reluctant and decided to give her and Jake one hour to convince the Omatikaya to leave.
=== Jake Sully ===
Parker and Jake initially got along quite well.
Originally, Jake thought of Parker as a boss he could trust and Parker saw Jake as a source for intelligence concerning the Na'vi. However, after Jake began to trust Grace and defected to the Na'vi, Parker grew to despise him. Jake on the other hand continued to look at Parker as a businessman who could be negotiated out of situations. Jake convinced Parker to let him return to his avatar body to make the Omatikaya leave Hometree diplomatically. After the final battle, Jake and the Na'vi exiled Parker from Pandora together with the other RDA personnel, but before that, he warned Jake that the RDA will return.
