Stubborness is one of his negative traits, and this can make him infurtiating to reason with. He has the potential to be violent if backed into a  corner and can be sadistic, lazy and boastful, as well as cowardly. His prejudices are numerous. If he feels his cause is right, he will fanatically pursue it to the bitter end. His bad temper will flare up; if he is your boss, be careful as he can be ruthless.
