As always, Handsome Jack is hopelessly in love with himself, but even as an AI, he gets several opportunities to show off how much of a threat he really is.While they can also be self deprecating, both Rhys and Fiona can also have their share of self loving moments, which are backed up by both Taking a Level in Badass throughout the story.And even if he could do all that in the short amount of time he had, he'll die if Fiona doesn't warn him about the bomb, which means that he had to have opened and resealed the case without setting off the bomb and while also not knowing there was a bomb. First Felix would have had to hacked the case open, hide the money, and seal the fake money in the case all while Fiona was unconscious. The thing is, this is literally impossible. Ass Pull: If you let Felix live in episode 1 and then try to recruit him in episode 5, he will reveal that the money that was destroyed in episode 1 was fake, and he hid 9 million dollars of the real money in the dresser (taking one million for himself).Ultimately though, even if he considered it, Vaughns later interactions likely mean that no matter what was going on throughout his head before, hes truly loyal to Rhys and the group by the end. However, its not impossible that Vaughn may have taken the deal seriously if youve been consistently bad to him as Rhys. He never actually betrays Rhys later on, which could mean that no matter what, Vaughn was telling the truth when he says he only took the deal to get Vasquez off their backs, which would tie into his usual Undying Loyalty. Just how serious was he when he accepted Vasquezs deal? No matter what you do, you find out that he took him up on the offer. Tying into Yvette, theres also Vaughn.In the end it is questionable whether she is just a Corrupt Corporate Executive gleefully manipulating Rhys or just another victim of the circumstances and Hyperion's corporate culture. One side claims her betrayal and her explanation for it was the same as the much less vilified Vaughn's (which ignores the fact that Yvette actually betrayed Rhys for money while in the safety of her office while Vaughn planned to do so for survival while he was in mortal danger during a death derby) while her condemners point at her gleefulness and that, depending on choices, she can betray Rhys one last time by taking the last escape pod if freed from prison. yet the game provides several opportunities for her to be forgiven. Then in episode 4 she callously doesn't care about the apparent deaths of his former colleagues, explains to Vasquez!Rhys how she betrayed him, purposefully denied supplies to them and does all that in a smug, bitchy manner.

First she starts out as a friend and ally.

By Episode 4, he's an extremely Grumpy Bear, but he's shown to be capable of leadership various times. And in Episode 3, he's already quite grumpy, but he also stops Vallory from killing Fiona and friends, and even refuses to shoot Rhys during the car chase if you don't pull off the QTE in time. Is this because he's just that infatuated with her or does he possess Hidden Depths? Is his story the man he killed was robbing him true or made up? He's also very polite and actually kind to his prisoners, compared to Vasquez-but he still works for Vallory, who's also his mother. However, his later appearances show him as still in love with Sasha and willing to forgive her conning him. August is portrayed as a vicious, violent, and vindictive thug in his initial appearance.Additionally, Rhys awkward flirting seems to rub off on her in finale if you tell her you missed her, as itll end with both of them standing around unsure of what to say next in front of everyone else. Adorkable: Sasha's childlike enthusiasm over weapons can be quite charming.
