At first I thought he was the typical asshole as well, but he was the only one that could make the Professors plan really work with his leadership. He also shows empathy to his colleagues, except when he pushes Tokyo out of the building which was totally justified though because she's just annoying and put everyone in danger multiple times. And in the end, well with him dying anyway, but he made sure everyone got out safe and risked his life for it. Bella Ciao Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao Ciao Ciao... Fantastic character and actor.
