Personality and traits
Stalker appears very impatient and shows no regard towards anyone's death. He gets very excited when Cash kills anyone and annoyed when Cash waits around too long.

Dialogue at certain points indicate that he is possibly masturbating to Cash's murder spree, though as the film progresses, stealthy fatalities begin to lose their effectiveness in that regard for the Boss, and that effectiveness is instead brought on by fire fights.
