Although, considering the obsession came from his delusions and his inner desire to project his guilt on someone else, this trope is more of a consequence than a cause. If he weren't so obsessed with Konrad, maybe he would have realized that he was breaking down.

Blood Knight: Horribly, horribly deconstructed.

This is intended as a commentary on conventional shooter games which employ Black-and-White Morality (whether explicitly or implicitly) and players which were expecting the game's moral framework to unfold as such.

Black-and-White Insanity: Has shades of this as the game goes on, continually trying to convince himself that the events of the plot fit into a dichotomous moral framework in which he and Delta are the "heroes" and the CIA, Konrad and the 33rd are the "villains", and any crimes that Delta commit in the course of stopping them were committed because the "villains" forced their hands.

Big "NO!": When Konrad forces him to choose which of two prisoners should die, he'll let one out if the nearby snipers incapacitate Lugo and Adams in retalliation for him trying to defy this order.

Big Bad: After Konrad is revealed to have been Dead All Along, it becomes clear that Walker himself was the true villain of this story, being almost single-handedly responsible for dooming the citizens of Dubai, whom the 33rd were ultimately trying to protect.

Ax-Crazy: Progressively, he becomes a more violent person.This is generally not presented as a good thing. Audience Surrogate: The further the game goes along, the more obvious the parallels between Walker and the player become.In one ending, where he chooses not to cross the line and decides to be punished by law for what he's done.Much of the game could be interpreted as him trying to atone for the "white phosphorus incident", but his being hopelessly misguided only succeeds in making things worse.Anti-Villain: Since anti-heroics wasn't enough, he goes from a Type 3 to potentially a full-blown villain if the players decides to shoot the rescue team if they make it to the epilogue.Very ironic, in a horribly tragic way, since it all happened because he wanted to evolve into a straight-up hero.
