Despite being labeled a sociopath by many, Ajay isn't a bad guy; not in the technical sense, anyway. He looks out for himself, and is adept at molding himself to fit any given situation. This isn't out of some great acting ambition, nor is it because he cares about being liked per se, it's more his sense of self-preservation taking over. Ajay is a survivor, and he will do whatever it takes to ensure he comes out ahead. Does this mean occasionally lying? Sure, but in his mind it's for a good reason. Maybe that makes him a sociopath by definition, given that an actions benefits towards himself excuse whether it's technically right or wrong, but he doesn't think much about it. He is neutral, floating in the grey area of life, and lets every conflict swirl around him unless it impacts him directly.

In direct conflict with that, however, is the fierce loyalty he possesses. It takes strength of character to confess to something you didn't do, and even stronger character to endure the punishment and be labeled a delinquent. Ajay doesn't care what others think, but he will bend over backwards for those he considers close. Charming smiles don't erase the temper under the surface, and even biting moments of witty sarcasm carry the underlying warning. He makes it clear that he is not to be trifled with, though Ajay's ability to use finesse even in those instances is admirable. He keeps all the bitterness, the anger, buried most of the time, but that doesn't mean they're not there. It just shows how adept he is at controlling them.
