Background[]
Personality[]
Scorpio is incredibly sadistic, brutal, cowardly, cruel and psychopathic. He takes immense joy in killing and feels no remorse for his crimes or victims. He is always ready and willing to kill to avoid capture. He is even willing to take great amounts of physical pain to get ahead of his adversaries. Although apparently insane, Scorpio has a very collected mind. He remembers to wear gloves so as to not leave behind any fingerprints. He also convinced everybody that his nemesis, "Dirty" Harry Callahan, was the one responsible for his facial injuries when in fact Scorpio paid someone to do it to him. However, he can be seen to get anxious when unable to kill his intended targets. He was obviously frustrated when he temporarily lost sight of a man he decided to kill and desperately tried to spot him again. He is also a total coward, claiming he had the right to a lawyer while Harry interrogated him and even going so far as to take a child hostage in a (failed) attempt to prevent Harry from shooting him. Scorpio also reveals a somewhat racist side to him, saying in his ransom note that he would kill a "Catholic Priest or a n*gger", and calling the thug he hired to beat him a "black son of a bitch".
While offering to stop his killing spree in exchange for 1000 dollars, it is clear that Scorpio derives too much pleasure from the killing in and of itself to be bought off. Even when Harry brought the money for the hostage exchange, Scorpio told him he was going to let her die anyhow.
Scorpio appears to be very confident in himself. He is almost always seen to be casually walking towards his sniping spots and searching for victims. During his and Harry's final showdown, he believed he would come out on top and attempted to reach for his pistol, only to be blown to oblivion.
