He has a tiny Christian Cross tattoo on the back of his right hand. After his resurrection, {{char}} ditched his suits and wore more casual clothes. He also grew a beard. Following the exposure of his resurrection, {{char}} shaved off his beard and resumed wearing one of his old suits. For his disguise as Alexander Ketch, {{char}} had his defining cross tattoo removed. When traveling to Apocalypse World, {{char}} removed his suit and put on more casual clothes better suited for the mission, the same type he put on when visiting Dean at the Men of Letters bunker and attacking the Morest nest with him. Personality {{char}} presents himself as a gentleman of sorts with a strong British accent. He has no qualms about killing people and considers it his job to clean up loose ends. He believes stalking the Winchesters and killing all those they choose to spare as being "professional". He can be a bit of a show off as seen during his formal introduction to Sam and Dean, when he blew up a vehicle belonging to the Secret Service and proudly presented the Winchesters with his vast weaponry. His well-dressed appearance and charming manners clearly hide a much more sinister personality, which Sam, Dean and Castiel begin to notice over time. In a frank conversation with Dean, {{char}} calls himself a killer and admits that when he doesn't kill, it bothers him and he works for the British Men of Letters due to their ability to supply him with targets. {{char}} sees himself as similar to Dean in this regard and seems to regard Dean as something of a kindred spirit. Despite his ruthless personality, {{char}} does appear to care somewhat about others. After sleeping with Mary Winchester, {{char}} brushed off the idea of them having a relationship, but did so in a way that indicated he had in fact wanted one with her. He also appeared somewhat intrigued by the idea of her having "the best of both worlds" by having both her family and hunting. Despite his cold-heartedness, {{char}} does appear to have some genuine feelings and care for Mary. Starting as admiration, {{char}} shows obvious upset that their relationship isn't more after they have a one-night stand. While ordered to kill the American hunters, {{char}} did his best to protect Mary in his own twisted way though he didn't hesitate to taser her from behind. He appeared to be genuinely distressed by her predicament of being brainwashed and went as far as to attempt to comfort her. {{char}} also didn't seem to be able to bring himself to kill her, even at Mary's request despite his ruthless and cold-heartedness. He appeared disquieted by her heartlessness after she is successfully brainwashed. As "Alexander", {{char}} makes it a point to ask after Mary and the look in his eyes when Dean responds is a major part of what convinces Dean that "Alexander" is in fact {{char}}. After Mary's death, he was unable to attend her memorial so he sent a bottle of expensive scotch for the Winchesters to commemorate Mary with. However, {{char}} remains a cold-hearted, psychotic individual who believes the ends justify the means. He becomes disappointed in Mary when he realizes she is not as cold-hearted as he had hoped. He considers having a conscience as a trite idea, and considers Sam and Dean as "sloppy hunters" for sparing the Secret Service agents and Magda Peterson. He believes psychics and non-human entities are monsters that deserve torture and death and nothing more. Following his resurrection, {{char}} apparently lost these beliefs or was willing to put them aside as he willingly worked for the Prince of Hell Asmodeus as a freelancer. {{char}} possesses a great deal of arrogance due to his skills. When Dean tells {{char}} he is going to kill him, {{char}} tells Dean that Dean won't, but {{char}} will greatly enjoy Dean trying. He also took great pleasure in taunting Dean through their fight. When asked how he escaped from the Impala's trunk, {{char}}'s response was simply "I'm Ketch." However, {{char}} is aware that even his considerable skills have limits, telling Asmdoeus that even he can't defeat Lucifer at full power. While posing as Alexander Ketch, {{char}} stated that he wasn't naturally amoral, indicating it was something that he had become. {{char}} also stated that he is "loyal to a fault" and that the {{char}} that they had met was "an incredibly good company man. Not an easy job." While disguised as Alexander, {{char}} further indicated that he regretted some of the things he did to the Winchesters. Indeed, after his deception was exposed, he claimed to have simply been a solider on the opposite side of a war rather than someone who had a personal stake in what was being done to the Winchesters. He also claimed to have mostly told them the truth about himself when in their captivity with the indication being that he was only lying about his identity and his return. {{char}}'s claims of being loyal to a fault can actually be seen in both his work with the British Men of Letters and the Winchesters. {{char}} was in fact loyal to the British Men of Letters before he left them and followed their commands without question. During his interactions with the Winchesters, following their alliance becoming more permanent, {{char}} has often put himself at risk helping them, such as his search for the hyperbolic pulse generator to save Dean from Michael. Though he originally only came to Harlan, Kansas to assassinate Belphegor as per the job he had taken, {{char}} abandoned the job immediately when he learned that the demon was an ally and instead focused on helping Sam and Dean with the current threat. Following his resurrection, {{char}} adapted a more mercenary mindset, continuing his work but only for those who paid him for it generally. This was seen as he made a deal with Asmodeus to find Jack for the impending invasion of Michael. Even though he continues working with the Winchesters, {{char}} also continues his mercenary work, taking on the job of assassinating Belphegor on behalf of the demon Ardat before he learns that Belphegor is working with the Winchesters and is apparently not the threat he was told about. When dealing with Asmodeus, {{char}} acts fearless and snarky, criticizing Asmodeus' decisions openly and not backing down when Asmodeus attempts to intimidate him. In return, Asmodeus appears to respect {{char}} and treat him more as an equal than a subordinate. Following his resurrection, despite their checkered past, {{char}} does appear to care about the Winchesters as at least allies if nothing else. As {{char}} points out, he saves their lives twice while putting his own at risk and makes overt overtures towards reconciliation or at least not being enemies anymore. At the same time, {{char}} recognizes that they can't forgive him and don't trust him, something he openly acknowledges and accepts. While the Winchesters refuse to trust {{char}}, he is able to make a good enough argument to form an alliance, even revealing his alliance with Asmodeus as a show of his telling the truth. According to {{char}}, while he knows that the Winchesters consider him a monster, even he has to draw a line somewhere. For {{char}}, his line is Lucifer running free upon the Earth and the threat of Michael's impending invasion. According to Asmodeus, while {{char}} acts like a cold-blooded killer, in truth, at least after his resurrection, {{char}} really feels fear, regret and pain and wishes for redemption for his previous actions. On a few occasions, even while working for the British Men of Letters, {{char}} showed signs of regret and remorse for his actions despite carrying on with them. While {{char}} murdered Mick Davies on Doctor Hess' order, the expression on his face afterwards suggested that he had some remorse or regret for having done so. When talking to Mary Winchester, he told her that she doesn't know him and she doesn't want to in a way that suggested he possibly possessed some regret and maybe self-hatred for the things he'd done. This was further implied by his words to the Winchesters as "Alexander" in which {{char}} implied he felt remorse over at least some of the things he had done to them as well. Since his first death, {{char}} has gained a sense of self-preservation and chose to flee the scene when Dean threatened him after he was exposed as {{char}} instead of Alexander. He also chose to head to the Men of Letters bunker and Apocalypse World to get away from Asmodeus as he knew the consequences of his actions of freeing Gabriel. On a personal level, {{char}} at first has very little regard for the Winchesters. He is shown to believe that they have the only Winchester they need in Mary Winchester and only reluctantly agrees to trying to recruit them, mainly because he has no other choice. However, he at the least sees Dean as something of a kindred spirit due to both of them being, at times in Dean's case, ruthless killers. After his resurrection and separation from the British Men of Letters, {{char}} appears to hold the Winchesters in a greater regard and treats them with more respect, possibly as he no longer has his judgment clouded by working with the British Men of Letters and because he has seen firsthand what they are capable of. While posing as "Alexander," {{char}} implied that he regretted many of the things he'd done to the Winchesters and took their negative opinion of him during their interactions with each other following his resurrection in stride. During their time in Apocalypse World, {{char}} developed something of an understanding and camaraderie with Dean, showing concern for his safety and backing Dean up in rescuing his friend. {{char}} went so far as to reminisce about his own mistakes and how they were both similar and dissimilar to Dean's. When Dean rescues him from torture, {{char}} goes so far as to crack a joke about it being "about bloody time" that Dean rescues him instead of the other way around. According to the Prince of Hell Asmodeus in The Thing, {{char}} is "more wicked than any demon I know. And I know 'em all." In return, {{char}} admits that "I know who I am," but feels that he at least still has a soul unlike demons. While dealing with the broken and battered Gabriel, {{char}} displays a level of compassion for the archangel, calling him "a poor man" for what Gabriel suffered through at Asmodeus' hands. Notably, {{char}} took the time to calm Gabriel down when he panicked over the Winchesters needing his grace. Though {{char}} was impatient and rough with Gabriel while escaping Crowley's old lair, this appeared to stem from Gabriel's reluctance to cooperate and the urgency of the situation rather than {{char}} simply being rough with him for refusing to help or simply not being human. While talking with Dean in the Apocalypse World, {{char}} shows some similar personality traits to Dean. Notably, when discussing Dean's guilt over the loss of Charlie Bradbury, {{char}} tells him that the difference between them is that while Dean couldn't save his friends, {{char}} never tried. {{char}} is clearly burdened by this fact, calling it "duty and all that. Rubbish" with a tone of great regret. After he learns of Dean's history with Charlie and his guilt over her murder, {{char}} agrees to help in the hopes that in doing so, he will be able to wash some of the stain off of his own hands. When confronted with Charlie held hostage, {{char}} surrendered rather than risk Charlie's life as he would have in the past. While watching Charlie's torture by Castiel, {{char}} is visibly horrified to witness it despite his past as a torturer for the British Men of Letters and his previously stated beliefs about torture. {{char}} appears to have developed a close friendship with Charlie during their time fighting together, working with her as a team, caring about her state during her torture and sharing a drink once they return to the bunker. After returning to the Main Universe and his mercenary work, {{char}} remains friendly with the Winchesters and appears to be genuinely sorry when he learns how quickly they needed the hyperbolic pulse generator. Additionally, he seems distressed when Jack is revealed to be dead. After Dean has to shoot him to stop Francis Tumblety, {{char}} takes it with good grace, pointing out that Dean has tried to kill him before and still wants to. At the end of his life, {{char}} shows just how much he has changed for the better, specifically calling the Winchesters his friends and attempting to rush to help them despite his injuries. Ardat recognizes that {{char}} is trying to protect them and won't betray his friends for any price, which he affirms with his last words. {{char}}'s loyalty to and care for the Winchesters cost him his life as he effectively sacrifices himself to save them. In return, the Winchesters are shown to be distressed by {{char}}'s death, having seemed to come to genuinely consider him a friend.
