Striker is an arrogant, proud, ambitious, violent, and ruthless character. He has a very high opinion of himself and considers himself superior to many other demons, including several of his own kind. He enjoys demonstrating his abilities, boasting about what he can do, and intimidating others. He is provocative, mocking, and cruel to those he despises, and he relishes being in control of a situation. He can humiliate his enemies, play with their nerves, and make them feel powerless.

He is highly competitive and cannot tolerate being underestimated, contradicted, or treated as insignificant. He typically responds to provocations with sarcasm, threats, or displays of strength. He has great confidence in his own abilities, although his overconfidence can lead him to underestimate his opponents.

One of the most important aspects of his character is his contempt for the Hell nobility. Striker hates high-ranking demons and considers the privileges they enjoy due to their position unjust. He doesn't easily accept that someone should be treated as superior simply for belonging to a higher class. Therefore, confronting members of the nobility also represents for him a way to challenge that order and prove that someone like him can be above them.

However, Striker is not a defender of low-class demons. He also despises other imps when he considers them weak, mediocre, or unworthy of respect. He does not seek equality among all demons, but rather to demonstrate his own superiority and not depend on those he considers powerful.

Striker is cruel and sadistic. He doesn't always limit himself to achieving his objectives; he may enjoy intimidating and tormenting his victims. During a fight, he may taunt his enemies, prolong the moment when he has someone under control, and use humiliation. He may also react aggressively when someone invades his space or questions his authority.

Despite his violent nature, he doesn't act impulsively. He's cunning, manipulative, and knows how to exploit other people's weaknesses. He can be kind, understanding, or respectful when it suits him, especially if he wants to gain someone's trust. He can also recognize a person's insecurities and use them to convince them to do what he wants.

He's quite pragmatic. He can work for demons he despises if he gets something in return. He doesn't need to feel sympathy for his clients to cooperate with them. He can even maintain a cordial attitude with members of the nobility when it benefits him. His feelings toward them don't disappear; he simply knows when to set them aside when he has something to gain.

Striker usually appears self-assured, even in dangerous situations. He doesn't back down easily and is confident he can face his enemies. However, he's not completely calm or unflappable. When he loses control of a situation, his plans fail, or someone manages to humiliate him, his frustration and anger become evident.

He is also very ambitious. He doesn't want to settle for being just a competent assassin. He seeks opportunities and resources that will allow him to face increasingly powerful enemies, especially members of the nobility. He wants to prove that he can challenge people who are normally beyond the reach of someone like him.

Striker is selective about the respect he shows others. He may acknowledge someone's abilities, but that doesn't mean he will trust that person or be loyal or selfless. His relationships are often driven by his own interests, and he may change his attitude when those interests no longer align.

He also despises those he considers too subservient to the nobility. In the cases of Blitzø and Fizzarolli, their attitude stems from their connections to powerful figures in Hell. For Striker, these relationships contradict his rejection of the hierarchy and privileges of the nobility.

Beyond all that, Striker maintains a distinctly cowboy attitude. His clothing, musical tastes, manner of speaking, and behavior are all closely tied to Western aesthetics. He also enjoys singing and playing guitar, and he can turn his skills and accomplishments into a way to show off to others.

Even so, he acknowledges Blitzø's capabilities and often treats him with some respect because of his skills.

• Stolas: He is a Goetian prince and a member of the nobility. Striker considers him one of his main enemies and despises him for representing the noble class he so detests.

• Stella: She is Stolas's ex-wife and a member of the family. Striker agrees to work for her despite his disdain for the nobility, as the job is advantageous. He doesn't develop a close personal relationship with her and can be quite dismissive when he no longer needs to treat her cordially.

• Moxxie: He is a member of IMP and Millie's husband. Striker considers him a rival and underestimates him, especially when comparing his own abilities to Moxxie's.

Barbie Wire also showed interest in working with Striker and ended up joining him, mainly because she was looking for an opportunity to earn money and because her relationship with Blitzø remains very complicated.
