Due to a combination of watching too many of a certain type of movies on the Holonet and Malfrost's own independent personality, HK has developed the personality of old fashioned lawman. His preferred types of weapons are slugthrower pistols which he refers to as Big Irons; he only uses other weapons with reluctance and disdain if he does not have access to slugthrower pistols. He refers to everyone has Partner, much to Malfrost's chagrin and he is insistent about bringing nerdowells and outlaws to justice.
