Hun and Attila both seem somewhat set in their rank, and approach missions casually. They seem to keep their cool even when they lose; in these situations, they calmly retreat. Despite physical stereotypes, Hun is the dominant partner telling Attila to do things that he could do himself. Attila doesn't object or show any signs of aggravation over this role, perhaps because Hun is always polite about it. In the original Japanese, Hun states that he and Attila are from the "Profit Expansion Division." | Hun and Attila both seem somewhat set in their rank, and approach missions casually.

Despite physical stereotypes, Hun is the dominant partner telling Attila to do things that he could do himself. Attila doesn't object or show any signs of aggravation over this role, perhaps because Hun is always polite about it. They never disagree or bicker (unlike other Team Rocket partnerships) and even when frustrated, never take it out on one another. In fact, whenever Attila occasionally expresses worry about something going wrong, Hun quickly assures him that it doesn't matter and that he has a solution. In the original Japanese, Hun states that he and Attila are from the "Profit Expansion Division." | ||
Hun seems to be exceedingly formal, almost exclusively using the formal tense in the original Japanese, even when speaking to people he clearly considers below him ([[Jimmy]] and the others), as well as his partner, and even his Pokemon. The fact that he refers to his partner by first name only (no suffix), and is not offended by the fact that Attila never uses the formal tense when talking to him, implies that his use of the tense is not due to unfamiliarity, but simply his style of speech. | Hun seems to be exceedingly formal, almost exclusively using the formal tense in the original Japanese, even when speaking to people he clearly considers below him ([[Jimmy]] and the others), as well as his partner, and even his Pokemon.

Hun is usually emotionless and calm, yet occasionally seems shocked or frustrated when complications arise. Additionally, he seems to be a more vindictive as time goes on. Initially he seems indifferent to the protagonists' interference; yet, by the final confrontation, seems to enjoy ordering Steelix to attack them. | Hun is exceedingly intelligent, and never seems overwhelmed by any situation, quickly and calmly finding the best solution and acting on it without hesitation. He also seems skilled with a computer, and in tracking Pokemon with them, as Attila expresses surprise at his ability to track Raikou after Jimmy takes it to the Pokemon Center.

Hun is one of the few members of Team Rocket who ever talks about the beliefs of the group, which he seems to agree with rather strongly. He frequently mentions the fact that Pokemon are only animals which exist to serve humans. (This is consistent with part of the Team Rocket manifesto that states, "All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket"). Yet, he acknowledges Raikou's intelligence, and speaks to it no differently than he does any of the human characters. It seems that he has accepted that Pokemon are sentient, intelligent creatures, yet still believes they exist only as servants to mankind. Despite this, he does not seem particularly cruel to his own Pokemon, even expressing some concern when his Steelix is knocked down by Raikou (although it is unclear whether or not this is just shock over its defeat). | Hun is one of the few members of Team Rocket who ever talks about the beliefs of the group, which he seems to agree with rather strongly.

Hun and Attila can be seen briefly in [[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', during the narrator's introduction to the world of Pokémon. They are in the holding area with a captured {{p|Rayquaza}} and in the scene before, the Rayquaza could be seen flying as it tried to avoid being shot down by small missiles. This makes Hun and Attila the only Team Rocket characters known to capture a legendary Pokemon long enough for it to be studied (with the exception of [[Giovanni]]'s ownership of {{p|Mewtwo}}, which is still different in that Mewtwo was created by Team Rocket, not captured. It is unknown how, when or if Rayquaza escaped. | |||
