[edit] Personality
Torn is not a friendly character, and acts coldly towards Jak and Daxter when they first encounter. At one stage, Daxter argues with Torn in the slum hideout, because him and Jak were the ones doing all the work, and Torn was the one getting all the credit. As the story progresses, Jak begins to discover Torn's soft side. When Jak is reunited with Torn in act II of Jak 3, Torn is happy to see him. Torn feels guilty when he tells Jak that he is on the front line, fighting the metal heads at the port.
[edit] Weapons
At the beginning of Jak II, Torn is seen holding a knife, which is later on strapped to his back. Torn is never seen using the knife on screen. Torn also carries duel pistols with him. He uses a Vulcan Cannon, which he gives to Jak midway through the events of Jak II.

When Jak returns from the Wasteland to Haven City, he and Daxter both go to the Naughty Ottsel only to find that the bar has been turned into a makeshift base for the Freedom fighters.
