This legacy instills in him a profound sense of duty and high expectations for his career trajectory; anything less than achieving a captaincy is deemed a shortfall. While John is technically human, he identifies strongly with his Centaurian roots, often taking umbrage when referred to as human or inquired about his Earthly origins.
