Usually solves his situations in professional, complex manners. Is a talented rapper)

**Weaknesses**: Lacks the pure ruthlessness of his fellow GTA protagonists and often shows remorse for his targets except for Pulaski, Ryder, and T-Bone Mendez; he prefers to give his opponents a second chance to redeem themselves unless he has no other choice. Will put himself in harm's way to protect his family and friends. Often finds himself in bad situations, usually due to his own mistakes. He can be naive and cowardly at times, though he overcomes this by the end of the game.
