#he’s actually fascinating but in a wet angry rat who doesn’t know he’s very small kinda way

Guyyss why doesn’t anyone ever talk about how shitty white knight was at his job. He was never even meant to lead a paramilitary organisation he was some mid-tier hired merc who went around driving graffitied armoured tanks and being a misogynist then he tried to murder a kid and almost got murdered instead (had to be saved by the kid he tried to kill smh) and got thrown into the job literally as a puppet leader. He calls himself a “poster boy” in Promises, Promises, verbatim.

Then he ends up being a really annoying boss who just tries to blow stuff up and yells at people unhelpfully. It’s so clear he’s still trying to play by the ‘soldier’ rulebook because he just tries to KILL EVERYTHING THAT MOVES with zero chill. He actively antagonises and demeans humanity’s literal last hope and the only Cure in the entire goddamned world. He accuses Rex of being a wildcard and not a team player while also being the least personable person in the world. He’s straight up xenophobic.

And even when he’s in the field he still fucks up?? Plague was just him getting in the way of Rex curing Patient Zero, blowing up a hospital, and then getting the shit kicked out of him. (Spoiler Rex had to save him AGAIN). He sends Rex to make friends with Breach and then JUST when Rex manages to win her over he swoops in and fucks it up MAJORLY. This sends Rex to the future and directly kicks off the events that lead to him getting fired from Providence and having to fake his own death.

This guy is literally his own worst enemy. We can actually see how his own paranoia and prejudice bites him in the ass countless times and he KEEPS DOING IT. He refuses to improve or apologise for the entire show. He’s doing it all while being locked in a sterile white box for years on end.

Contrast him to Black Knight and, like, even being an absolute girlboss villain, she was so much better at his job. She actually changed Providence policies to utilise incurables instead of letting them rot as deadweight in prisons. (Ethical? No. Profitable? Immensely). She was nice enough to actually get people on her side, or outright manipulate to get what she needed. Say what you want about her, but she definitely never let prejudice get in the way of profit or efficiency. White Knight would never even have considered EVOs being useful because he’s too busy hating them.

And the show STILL places him as one of the good guys. Hes the most fucked up grandpa I’ve ever seen that’s for sure. I don’t know whether to put him in prison for war crimes or a freaking nursing home

Definitely the prison.
