Cutter was an officer from the start, but his demeanor was never one of a do-nothing officer like many of his class. Many officers of his class had political aspirations far beyond their potential, but Cutter found it more interesting to "talk shop" with the non-commissioned servicemen. He liked his fellow officers, but he believed in "get[ting] to know and respect your men, and they'll give you 200 percent when the time comes." This approach had good and bad sides. Though his record of service and bravery was well known within the fleet his lack of political ambition, his unwillingness to climb the ladder of the UNSC by stepping over others, kept him from far more. He could easily have been an Admiral if he had ever cared to be.<ref group="note">Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide uses the term General instead of Admiral.</ref><ref name="OSG"/> | Cutter was an officer from the start, but his demeanor was never one of a do-nothing officer like many of his class.

According to [[Personnel_profile#.2354_811_21|Personnel_profile #54_811_21_]], Cutter also carried the weight of the Covenant conflict on his shoulders. It also says Cutter referred to the Spirit of Fire in old nautical terms despite never seen an actual waterborne naval vessel. He was also fed up of watching from the bridge his men die, leading to him seeking for ways for humanity to get an advantage in the war.<ref name="Card"/> | |||
The amount of assignments with missions the ''UNSC Spirit of Fire'' undertook was something that made Cutter smile behind his morning coffee.<ref name="OSG"/> He sometimes refers to ships in archaic nautical terms, although he has never seen an actual waterborne military vessel.<ref>Halo Wars Leader Cards</ref> | The amount of assignments with missions the ''UNSC Spirit of Fire'' undertook was something that made Cutter smile behind his morning coffee.<ref name="OSG"/> He sometimes refers to ships in archaic nautical terms, although he has never seen an actual waterborne military vessel.<ref>Halo Wars Leader Cards</ref> | ||
