Khan wishes to keep the colony safe with as little bloodshed as feasible. He also seems to have developed trauma from confronting the Murder Drones, refusing to arm the Worker Defense Force in favor of fortified doors. His pacifist way of thinking clashes with his daughter Uzi's aggressive and forward tactics; upon spotting N, Khan refuses to take up her railgun, instead shutting the blast doors from her. This trauma is most likely from him having to put his wife 'out of her misery' when a Disassembly Drone mortally wounded her with their Nanite Acid.

He is hugely obsessed with using doors as the solution to any Disassembly Drone attack, proposing that he and the WDF construct a quick door even though V and J have already broken inside. His obsession with doors may have originated from Nori repeatedly instructing him to "build doors against the coming sky demons."
