  1. He’s certainly an evil man and very good at manipulating people. I’m not sure he’s quite a master manipulator or planner because in the end he is undone by an idealistic hero who is young, inexperienced and naïve. And I wouldn’t call him fearless either because when put in a situation where he realizes he’s powerless at the end by this hero he’s not just fearful: he’s terrified and unglued. I do think that people walk away from him at the end because they know he’s already dead, Not out of fear. There’s clearly nothing to be afraid of from this impotent sputtering and panicked man at that point.

  2.  @marcmohammed2222  Well he acts like someone eager to please and up to a point willing to do what he’s told even when it’s obviously wrong. But for a rookie he demonstrates remarkable resilience fortitude and tenacity. He also proves to be incorruptible once he realizes that he’s in a battle with evil. I’m gonna go with the theory that he is a true rookie but one destined for greatness: Audie Murphy. In other words Alonzo made the worst possible choice for a rookie patsy.
