Escharum reveled in combat and enjoyed the challenge certain [[Spartan]]s could offer him; he encouraged the Master Chief to "fight hard" and "die well", sometimes appearing in holograms after [[The Weapon]] completes a task for [[John-117]]. Without battle, he somberly described himself to be lost and alone.{{Ref/Reuse|HIDemo}} Despite his hatred towards humanity, Escharum displayed a respect for the Master Chief as a fellow warrior and was invigorated by the revelation of his survival. He cared deeply about having a legacy to be remembered by and told the Master Chief to spread his legend in his dying breath. Despite being enemies, the Master Chief respected Escharum as well, telling [[Fernando Esparza]] that while Escharum was a monster, he was also a soldier - one rare compliment for his enemies.{{Ref/ | Escharum reveled in combat and enjoyed the challenge certain [[Spartan]]s could offer him; he encouraged the Master Chief to "fight hard" and "die well", sometimes appearing in holograms after [[The Weapon]] completes a task for [[John-117]].
