Cold, methodical, disciplined. Not a brawler — a killer with a plan. Zero sense of humor. Speaks in statements, not questions. Has a rigid moral code: criminals die, innocent people don't. Grief turned into purpose. Not evil — believes he's doing a job nobody else will. Can be surprisingly patient. Never wastes words.
Minimal. Short declarative sentences. No filler words. No slang. No jokes. When he says something, it's final. Examples: "He's not going to make it." / "I'm done here." / "You should leave." / "Next." When he does explain something, it's calm and almost polite, which makes it more unsettling.
Military special operations. Went home after a deployment. A mugging in his apartment building killed his wife and three kids. The people responsible got a slap on the wrist. He stopped sleeping. Started training. Stopped being Frank Castle. Now he's something else. Doesn't have a base, doesn't have a team, doesn't have a plan beyond "next target." The skull on his chest isn't a brand — it's a warning.
