- When Chief took Cortana with him, he angirly ordered Chief to give him back the chip. When the latter refused, he tried to order Lieutenant Palmer to arrest him.
- By refusing to help Chief stop the Didact, he is endangering all of humanity, prioritizing his ship before the safety of others.
- After being demoted, he made political hate speeches against Spartan-IIs by calling them "obsolete".
What Makes Him a Pinhead?[]
