Another aspect of Sargent Rook's personality is that he is fiercely loyal to Kaito and is extremely determined to fulfil Kaito's goals even if it means sacrificing himself. Sargent Rook considers those who are unwilling to sacrifice themselves for something greater then them selfish and claims that most young people are selfish. Ironically Sargent Rook himself seems to be extremely selfish, when he steals things with his stand ability such as Ezekiel's arms he claims they belong to him.

Sargent Rook also insults his enemies for being too straight forwards or predictable in their approach to fighting considering Ezekiel a barbarian because all he was doing was punching things.

## Plot

### Pre E For Extinction

Sargent Rook was first shown on the boat with Hell Horse. Sargent Rook told Hell Horse to go after Julian while he went after Ezekiel. He warned Hell Horse to be cautious and not to let his arrogance get the better of him. Later while he was approaching Ezekiel's room he met up with Patella who warned Sargent Rook about the possibilities of Ezekiel's Stand. He later demonstrated his stand ability on two women who were talking negatively about America brutally disecting them and torturing them before stuffing their corpses in the water tanks of the ship.

### E For Extinction

Sargent Rook attacks Ezekiel while he's taking a shower using dismembered limbs of his stand to cause Ezekiel to trip over. As Ezekiel tries to fight back he disassembles his stand and reassembles it to avoid attacks before having an arm of his stand grab Ezekiel's shoulder. This arm is frozen by S.A.D when Ezekiel turns the shower on causing the arm to freeze solid. E For Extinction then reattaches the frozen limb before creating a hole in the wall with it's stand ability and running away, As Ezekiel pursues it, E for extinction has objects grafted to the roof become ungrafted which causes them to fall onto Ezekiel. Sargent Rook then comes out of hiding and insults Ezekiel's lack of combat prowress. Sargent Rook follows this up by cutting some blankets and grafing them to Ezekiel and S.A.D's face to blind them allowing E For Extinction to cut one of Ezekiel's arms off and graft it onto the user.

After Ezekiel has his arm severed Sargent Rook disrespects them for not looking after their body and tells Ezekiel about his past as a soldier. Ezekiel tells Sargent Rook that he's learned nothing which upsets Sargent Rook, he calls Ezekiel selfish for being unwilling to sacrifice for the greater good before repeatedly attacking Ezekiel with his stand. Ezekiel then notices that Sargent Rook is standing infront of a radiator and that is why he is not freezing to death. In an attempt to get his stand's ability working Ezekiel throws a table at Sargent Rook which he dodges leaving an opening for Ezekiel to destroy the radiator with his stand. While Ezekiel is distracted with the radiator Sargent Rook has his stand cut a hole in the floor which causes Ezekiel's leg to fall through it leaving him stuck. Sargent Rook then tries to attack Ezekiel while he's immobilised but Ezekiel has his stand punch a hole in the floor causing Ezekiel to fall to the second floor of the room and onto a bed. Sargent Rook has E For Extinction follow them but Ezekiel uses a blanket to obscure the stand's eyes and body movements before punching it into a wall causing Sargent Rook to suffer damage, Sargent Rook then starts to experience blurred vision and starts shaking uncontrollably becoming aware of what S.A.D is doing.

Sargent Rook jumps to the second floor and lights the room on fire using a molotov allowing him to overcome S.A.D's freezing capabilities. Sargent Rook then pulls out a gun and tries to shoot Ezekiel with it. Ezekiel's stand attempts to block the bullets however by applying E For Extinction's ability to the bullets he is able to reposition them out of the way and gets two direct hits on Ezekiel. He uses this distraction to have his stand grab Ezekiel's other arm allowing him to cut it off and graft it onto his own body. Successful in his goals Sargent Rook begins to cheer only for the fire alarms to go off. He is soaked in water with the fires from the molotov being put out by the sprinkler system. Sargent Rook attempts to run away but his feet become frozen to the ground. In a desperate attempt to kill Ezekiel Sargent Rook tries to detonate a bomb that is strapped to himself. Ezekiel's stand freezes the bomb before it can explode before repeatedly punching Sargent Rook and defeating him. After Sargent Rook's defeat at the hands of Ezekiel, Ezekiel is given his arms back.

### Aftermath

After being defeated by Ezekiel Sargent Rook tries to make it back to Kaito. A mysterious and unknown assaliant turns the lights off and kills Sargent Rook through unknown means causing Sargent Rook to collapse and bleed on the ground.
