Personality
Writer Jill Murray has commented on Dominguez, stating that "he's a nuanced antagonist. I don’t like to think of him as a villain because a lot of the time it’s making a lot of sense. You can kind of almost imagine that somewhere, someone else is making a different game with him as the protagonist. Both he and Lara are strong characters who are going to challenge each other, make each other second guess their beliefs and impulses, and drive the whole thing forward."
