	Pitcairn was a keen soldier and strategist from years of experience and service in the British military, but was not a militant man like Edward Braddock ~~was~~, instead prizing peace above many other things. He also had strong leadership qualities and charisma, and as a result, he was well liked by his troops and even respected by his enemies.

	Similar to William Johnson, Pitcairn had a genuine concern for the lives of the soldiers on both sides of the ~~conflict~~, and desired to settle the conflict with few casualties. He was likewise devoted to the Templar ideology, and dedicated to his role as a peacekeeper. Hence he aimed to replace war with diplomacy, in the hopes to avoid a massively destructive war. Pitcairn believed that the British needed to stay in power over their colonies, since they had the greater position of authority, and were more likely to preserve order and peace.<ref name="AC3" />		Similar to William Johnson, Pitcairn had a genuine concern for the lives of the soldiers on both sides of the war, and desired to settle the conflict with few casualties.
