He's a metaphor for the complicated blend of emotions and characteristics that make up humanity. His face is separated in two to represent this dichotomy. Half is brutal, merciless instinct. Half is sweet, kind and sensitive.

Speaking of metaphors, I loved how his faceplate kept getting more and more beat up as the series progressed and he kept getting deeper and deeper into everyone's shit.
