He plays his character exactly how he was written. Dudes jaded, lost his wife and child, being told somehow it’s his or his wife’s fault and he isn’t in God’s Grace and he spends the entire movie truly wondering if this city is worth the lives of so many women and children in the name of a God he’s not entirely sure he believes in.

As far as being a jaded knight goes, I believe him. Especially in the end when he absolutely spanks Guy and walks away.
