Monkey is best known for being a loner. He is difficult to approach and is someone whom you wouldn't want to engage in combat. Monkey has milky white spiky hair and white scars on his body as a result on his past battles with the mechs. The majority of his life has been spent in the wilderness, surviving by using the resources available to him. Generally, he attempts to avoid people and confrontation, however, when put in a situation where he has to defend himself, he will do so with great skill. Unsurprisingly, Monkey is known for his agility and resourcefulnes as well as his great strength. He uses his climbing talents, along with his martial arts skills, to attack his robot enemies.

In Enslaved, Monkey is reluctantly partnered up with Trip. The relationship between Trip and Monkey continues to evolve in various forms of complexity as the game advances. They seem to both benefit from this relationship as Monkey becomes more dependent on Trip, but she gains in confidence and strategy. Monkey starts to break away from his loner tendencies and begins to learn how to cooperate with people and trust them. Though they constantly argue, they still seem to have a mutually beneficial relationship and ultimately help each other out when they need it.
