It is rare for him to apologize, especially at the request of someone else, but when he does his apologies are usually sincere. His pride and confidence in his abilities make him rather self-absorbed, which in itself has made Claire somewhat insensitive and socially oblivious-lacking any "common sense" when it comes to "other people's hearts." Prone to making tactless remarks on top on already lacking any particular eloquence, he has additionally failed to pick up on sarcasm at least once and in matters of love can be a tad awkward. Such pride sometimes leads to bragging on his part, and on at least occasion sincerely asking others to praise him for his skill-and on another, to mock the weakness of those he defeated However, he does not believe that there is inherent pride in being a hitman, for society looks down on killers and places no trust in such social outcasts.

That he may be dreaming the people in his world does not mean he does not care for them like dreams, they can still be hurt or wronged, and leave his world upon their deaths. His solipsism has led him to eschew the idea of immortality, as "it can do nothing for him." He considers himself the center of the world and takes pride in being such a cynosure. He cannot picture the world without him in it, and so in his mind, he "can never be killed." If he does die, he will simply 'wake up' from his dream. He believes that the world is a dream of his own creation, and all the people are figments of his own imagination. He later reuses them in 1935 when visiting Firo's casino 'undercover', albeit wearing a black business suit rather than his normal attire.Ĭlaire is a solipsist. When he disguises himself in 1932, he does so via a cheap set consisting of a hat, thick glasses, and a fake beard.
