Personality and Traits

Throughout his military career, Garron Paduk was a ruthless and effective soldier as a high ranking UIR officer during the Pendelum Wars and later as a Private in the COG army during the Locust War.

Garron Paduk was a rebellious man during his time with the COG, bitter and resentful about them following the Pendulum Wars, joining the COG as a means of getting revenge on the Locust above all else and made no effort to hide his still present hatred of the Coalition. He had a strong hatred of Colonel Loomis in particular. When questioned on whether he faced him as Major Paduk of the UIR or Private Paduk of the COG or not, he stated that he was "which ever one that you like less." Even after killing Karn and getting his revenge, Paduk refused to shake Loomis' hand when he offered it though Paduk earlier saved the man's life when he had the choice to kill him or the Locust using Loomis as a meat shield. During his time with Kilo Squad, he showed fervent pride in the UIR by happily using any of their weapons found in the field. Even in 42 A.E. he complimented Kait Diaz's taste in weapons when she picked up a Markza Mk. I from a nearby table. He has retained a low opinion of the COG, but stated that he no longer wished to see it destroyed as much as he had in the past.

Years after Halvo, Paduk was shown to have returned there as a member of a community made up of former COG and UIR soldiers who refused to fight for their sides, but refused to consider themselves Stranded. His hatred of the COG was cemented when Sofia was kidnapped by three men and one of them was discovered by Paduk to be a Gear. Despite his friendship with Baird, this led him to ultimately refuse to see him again after their second meeting at Halvo Bay. However, the two did remain in contact and Baird supplied Paduk's Nomads.

He was a man of his word, refusing to meet with the survivors of his camp until he gave Baird the ship that hepromised. Due to his poor upbringing in Gorasnaya, hebecame hateful about the rich people by viewing them as "fools". While looking for Kurt Elliott's mansion in Seahorse Hills, he became aware about the fact that Sofia had an affair with the professor, but stated that he did not judge the people, leading one to believe that he did not take things for granted. He also seemed to enjoy the torture of POWs during the Pendulum Wars and wanted to take his time with the fatally-injured General Karn.

Paduk was proud about his service in the UIR army, which was made clear when he modified the standard blue COG armor into green to resemble his UIR armor. He also expressed fond memories of his service in the war, such as taking no prisoners, especially medical personnel (much to Fahz Chutani's disdain as his father was a surgeon). During the battle for Halvo Bay, he was delighted to see untouched UIR weaponry on the field and was shocked when the Locust modified them. Years later, he would compliment Kait Diaz for her tastes in weapons if she picked up a nearby Markza in his Nomad Camp.

Paduk was also fluent in five different Seran languages, including his native language of Gorasni, Tyran, and Vasgari.
