I thought so too, so it's nice to see it portrayed. :D Of course, there is an element of irony of walking to the negotiating table and, when things don't go your way, threaten to kill everyone unless they sign.

But I rather liked that Johnson was at least willing to make the effort of negotiating first and resorted to violence second. His priorities are still Templar above all else, but it seemed to me that he does genuinely care despite that.

There being Native Templars will make it doubly hard for Kanen. To get rid of the Templars, he'll be forced to kill more of his people.
