Immaru is like a mobster who went into witness protection but is gleefully mocking the efforts of his jailer to take down the rest of his associates. The voice actor (who is great) really gives off the gangster vibe.
I love how Immaru calls out the Guardian for basically being a space John Wick. The Guardian doesn't actually decide almost anything in this game and just acts as an assassin who demolishes hordes of enemies in missions that the Vanguard sends him on, missions that we are assured are for a good cause.
However, Immaru thinks there's more going on here. He says that the Guardian (and Eris) are actually enjoying the bloodshed in the game's missions for its own sake, reveling in the violence once given an excuse to unleash it. And he might actually be right.
The game needs more hard-nosed characters like this who provide a different point of view about how the Guardians function.

We are just mercenaries. Pawns on the chessboard moved by others. The brains are the characters we interact with. The bad guys like Immaru, Rhulk etc are among the most entertaining.
