Almost a sociopath, he relished destruction and encouraged deadly behavior to his master. He used a variety of weapons when confronting a Jedi opponent - a sniper rifle when at a distance, and grenades, sonic weapons, rockets, mines, and poison gas - all things that could not be deflected with a lightsaber.
