Mendez is a strict, by-the-book military man and thus has a solid sense of duty and honor. He also rarely allows himself to display his emotions (for example, [[John-117]] very rarely had seen him smile). When he heard of the destruction of the [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Alpha Company]] of Spartan-IIIs, he kept his face stony, holding his feelings to himself. His total need for discipline and order off-sets many of his new acquaintances, however those who know him well (namely the Spartan-IIs, particularly John-117 and [[Kurt Ambrose]]) have a respect and relationship with him that can be compared to that of the connection between father and child. | Mendez is a strict, by-the-book military man and thus has a solid sense of duty and honor.
