ENTJ 8w9 Characters

Flynn is a tactician and strategist who has figured out to take down the entity that has killed his wife and daughter, he has to time travel and unpick the threads and make things happen or not happen, according to the weave of history. To do this, he simply recruits and hires people to help him with the skills he lacks, such as a pilot who can fix the machine. He often takes the initiative and does things proactively, including abandoning the rest of the team in their desire to find and restore Rufus to life, to go back in time and shoot Jenny, so that the current timeline does not exist and Rufus can be alive. When he needs Lucy’s expertise, he simply kidnaps her and uses her to his advantage, but always with an eye on the bigger threat (Rittenhouse) and history itself. He is single minded in his desire to bring back his family, but also has a plan in place for when that happens (he says he will kiss his children and then leave them forever; it’s enough for them to be alive—they don’t “deserve to live with the monster I have become”). Flynn shows how useful he is in Salem, when he forces someone to reveal the presence of a gun so he can steal it. He employs physical violence and threats much of the time, and is opportunistic and willing to insert himself into dangerous situations—being the person in history to shoot Lincoln at the theater, for example, or beating up Quakers in Salem, or getting into gun fights to protect Lucy. He often decides things on sheer impulse. Lastly, Flynn cares mostly about his family and getting them back, but shows little interest in anyone else’s agenda until he forms a personal connection to them. He and Lucy bond in their shared desire to get back what they have lost, but he still does not mince words, or reveal anything about his true feelings to anyone. And he constantly devalues emotions when making decisions, because he knows the best results require hard sacrifices.

Flynn believes in powering through anything that stands in his way and is not afraid to use violence to make his point. He sees people who can’t do what needs to be done as “weak.” In the first season, he isn’t afraid to shoot people to make his point, even if that means killing President Lincoln to ensure history goes the way he wants it to go, in his desire to take down Rittenhouse and get back his murdered family. Later, he gets shanked in prison but kills the person who attacked him, and negotiates a deal to work with the team to keep taking down his enemy. Then he becomes a ruthless protector on their part. He has to inform Rufus that “Okay, I won’t kill you on this mission… does that make you happy [to be traveling with me]?” When Wyatt tells him to stay away from Lucy as he develops romantic feelings for her, Flynn tells him to his face that he isn’t married to Lucy, does not own her, and it’s none of his business if they like each other. But it’s hard for him to admit to his vulnerabilities or to be emotionally intimate with anyone. Flynn ultimately would rather see his family one last time and dies doing that, after risking his own life to go back to an earlier timeline in which he is in and killing someone essential to Rittenhouse’s success.
