Trivia

• AJ was originally a Titan, but was changed to a Warlock instead, due to his ablilties and a little bit of his personality. But still has some aspects from Titans, such as his sobriquets, echoing from his original class.
• Despite AJ being Warlock, he has some traits from Titans and Hunters, that only hunters and titans are known to have, such as the ability: Vanish in Smoke, that only Nightstalkers are known to have, as well as having a similar manner to Hunters. While he has the strength of a Titan, such as Shoulder charge, and one-time using the Crown-Splitter, a weapon exclusive for Titans, to defeat a platoon of Cabal.
• AJ is also known to be a Jedi, however this is not really shown that much, the only times he ever did so was when he was Finding Force-sensitive Eliksni, and during the Shadowkeeper Apocalypse.
