Kaidan doesn't find people with long, fancy titles in front of their names all that impressive. He judges people by how others respond to them, and what he's observed of them himself. And he's not afraid to say so. While some find his direct speech and lack of kowtowing relieving or hilarious, others find him to be disrespectful or condescending.

"Family is more than blood." Kaidan doesn't draw the line of family at his relatives. Anyone that he considers family never has to look far to find whatever they need if he knows about it. He'd give everything for his family.

Kaidan always does what he believes to be right, regardless of what others say. This doesn't mean he won't listen to others, they just have to argue harder. He's also accepted that one day, it's going to kill him, and he's ready to go whenever Death is. His conscience is clean.

While normally laid-back and the first to offer a sarcastic quip, Kaidan Antillar's entire demeanor changes once "work" begins. He becomes focused and quiet, with a look of grim determination. To the some of the people he works with, then, the "work" Kaidan is the only one they ever see.

"...I wanted to win all the next ones, too." Any concept of fairness has no place on Kaidan's battlefield. He'll do whatever it takes to take his opponent out of the fight, and then keep him out of it for a very long time.

Kaidan isn't one to be fearful. His stoicism can sometimes awe and inspire others to fight on when hope seems lost, but more often than not, it just tends to piss those with any common sense off that he seems to have no semblance of a survival instinct. The fact it hasn't killed him yet, either by his opponents or his frustrated allies, is a minor miracle.
