The point, however, is that there will only in extremis be a situation in which he need use it. At this point, it's probably entirely personal, given how casualty-averse Atlas is.

Basically, I peg him as a soldier first and Hunter second, if ever.

A lot depends on his personal history. Certainly he's got a history with Glynda, but whether he was at any point a Hunter is questionable, given his apparent age and the length of time it would take to become a general. How Atlas regulates its Hunters is a major factor here.

All this said, you do raise good points.
