Free is a very eccentric lion who usually does not care about many things as long as they do not affect him, but he is a "good person" despite being under the command of two different leaders. He always showed them respect, especially Louis, who despite being an herbivore, contained his instincts as a priority of the organization. Another symbol of respect was shown during the Shishigumi's last blow, where he obtained orders from his partner Ibuki, to stop him in case he tried to attack Louis. Free was paying attention to this as he was watching Louis during all that time and the moment Ibuki tried to eat Louis. Free bravely stopped Ibuki and took Louis to another place so that he could leave the organization and have a better life, but with the warning that he will eat Louis alive if he sees him in the Black Market again.
