Massasauga

"Cobra, in public, presents himself with believable seriousness, however in a fight it fades away and he becomes the true Cobra. The aggressive one. He's okay, I liked the booze he rewarded me with. There is one thing however. He should learn to respond quicker and save his girls before they get shot down. Think I pulled a muscle from that combat ejection.."

Cassidy Chambers

"Morreti was always a bit of a weird one, well-dressed, well-mannered. Certainly nice to look at, but boy does he have the amorality of a chainsaw. If I'm being honest I don't really care, just as long as he remembers what the endgame is."

Chuck Spencer

"The Cobra? Boy's some kinda prodigy. Movement's been on the up and up since he took the reigns and put us back on a path that yields results. I know a few people have got problems with him for being atypical, to hell with them. Hail to the King baby!"

Rinkhals

"Morreti? He's amazing, never seen a better pilot than him. He truly deserves the title Cobra. Certainly a man you don't want to have as your enemy. I kinda owe him my life, got me out of a hairy situation a while back and gave me a new home. Haven't had the chance to meet him that much outside of patrols and missions though, he's a very busy man always working on one thing or another. From what I've heard I get the impression that his dedication is one of the reasons why our movement got the wind back in its sails. Bastard still owes me a drink."

Contender

"...About the boss? As much as the next person. Rational. Precise. He tends to need my expertise, and I'm happy to provide. He's probably more Xeno than the rest of us."

Latrodectus

"The Cobra is rational, clever and willing to compromise. But, if you piss Morreti off then you'll never see daylight again. He obviously has a fetish for snakes, and now let a strong, venomous, but little Widow into his cave. A spider to keep away all the annoying flies? Or has the time for Cobra come where he needs, as many men do, a strong woman on his side to keep him under control? Morreti is definitely clever enough to take a good opportunity, if he sees it, no matter what anyone else is willing to tell you. And whatever the reason is, to let a spider between all these snakes, that's not a sign of weakness, but of providence."

Jacob Wayne

"I'm an old fool, seen plenty young-folk like the Commander, but also never anyone exactly like him. The sly charisma, cool and collected demeanor's a facade that unravels quite quickly when an exchange of particles kick off. He enjoys all the killing, keeps him going. He's also going to deny it to no end that he misses his closest advisor, but I wouldn't confront him about it if I were you. He's got it in his head that sentiment and vanity are weaknesses, things he should exploit for his own joy. As profound as the pursuit of convincing him that he's obsessed with a girl might seem, it isn't worth a bullet between your eyes."

Milk

"I know he can display kind of an acrid demeanor, especially if he's talking to somebody from the outside. That might give the impression that he's difficult to work with, but that actually isn't the case at all. For all his love of playing the uncompromising hardliner, he's actually a very practical man when it comes down to making concrete plans. More so than me, in some cases, even though we may not outwardly give that impression. We have our disagreements on some issues of course, but nothing that would approach any sort of fundamental incompatibility.
And anyway, I think you need a strong attitude to be effective in his position."

Virginia Belle

"Cobra's a very passionate man about his cause and there're things that'll make him angry on any day. How do I know? I learned that myself. He hates enslavement, self-denial and hypocrisy with a passion. Don't check any of those boxes and you'll be fine, more or less."
