He is an intelligent individual, and took on the lead role during the hunt for {{OBP|Raikou|The Legend of Thunder!}}. While he is usually stoic, aspects of his more vindictive personality shone through as time went on.

He frequently stated that Pokémon are only creatures which exist to serve humans. This is consistent with part of the Team Rocket manifesto, "All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket." Yet, he acknowledged Raikou's intelligence, and spoke to it no differently than he did to any of the human characters. It seems that he has accepted that Pokémon are sentient, intelligent creatures, yet still believes they exist only as servants to humanity. | ||
