Reeve is stubborn. Though his ethics do allow for wiggle room, when he's reached the limit of their give he can be uncompromising. Having an unpopular opinion is no obstacle. When he comes to believe through data and accident reports that the popular space program is a waste of money (and potentially of lives), he recommends it be shut down. Though he can be diplomatic and conciliatory, he's always followed his own moral compass and acted accordingly. If only that were as simple to do as it seemed before-- well, everything. Current events are conspiring to test Reeve's ethical boundaries. Reeve has come to see his company (and government) as corrupt and unstable, horrors he is only beginning to comprehend are being dragged into the light. But the terrorists that style themselves as a force for positive change have only increased the body count, and among the innocent citizens of Midgar, as well. Shades of grey have become a fog. Reeve is naturally earnest and enthusiastic, and would prefer to be open with those around him, but his work environment makes that both unwise and awkward. He deals with most of this sort of pressure with low-key, sarcastic humor, though most of the jokes he makes either go over the heads of those present or come off as self-effacing. As tensions increase both inside the company and in the wider world, Reeve's veneer is becoming increasingly hard to maintain, though it's essential that it remain intact for the time being. So Reeve raises his objections, draws out his dreams, and plays the waiting game.
Reeve is quite empathetic and understands more of the motivations of the people around him than they would probably like him to. Of course, he doesn't let on, since saying he isn't above politics would be a gross understatement. He's simply very careful. Reeve does do his best to use his understanding to push his agenda of improvements and advancements forward within an organization that is revealing itself to care less and less about either. He's loyal to Shinra, to his (new) President and his company still, but certain incidents have shaken the foundations of Reeve's commitment. Beginning with the mass desertion of SOLDIER, the disappearance of General Sephiroth and culminating most recently in the abandonment of Sector 7 and the General's mysterious and bloody return, Reeve's conviction that all is far from right at Shinra Inc. has been growing. His comfort and certainty have been undermined by degrees he can hardly bear to acknowledge. This mindset would probably be viewed as a drawback by the Turks, for whom he is spying at the moment, immersed in what remains of AVALANCHE (as Cait Sith). Reeve has allied with the Turks in the past, but this time, what they don't know just might hurt them.
Reeve is at a crossroads in his life, one that will force into the light many things he once felt could be ignored, and cast a shadow on many things he once thought were quite clearly defined. The ability to compartmentalize that has benefited him has become a luxury he can no longer afford. Reeve has set himself on a path strewn with moral choices, all of which combine to tip the balance in the struggle for the fate of his planet. All of his life, without knowing it, he has been preparing for this moment.
Abilities: For all that he possesses natural gifts and skills that make him quite unusual, Reeve considers himself a pretty solid example of a normal human being. Reeve has received the self-defense training mandated for all Shinra executives, but carries no weapon or Materia. He prefers it that way.
