The look on his face while he says this (as well as his Clairvoyance image of Raz dressed up as a prom date) indicates he knows full well Raz and Lili shared a First Kiss. Seen It All: When Raz mentions that Oleander was stealing children's brains and putting them into death tanks, Truman chuckles, "Is that all?", and then Trolls Lili by saying he was more worried about the kissing that goes on at summer camps.Reasonable Authority Figure: Hollis Forsythe's Mental Vault paints him as this, since he was willing to see her potential as a Psychonaut despite her rash decision to alter her plagiarist superior's mind back when she worked at a hospital being the reason he was there to meet her in the first place.The fact that there's a golden bust of the guy in his mental world is what tips Lili off that it isn't his brain they're in.

Out-of-Character Alert: He's one of the few people in the Motherlobe that doesn't like Nick.Though given his real brain was stored inside the metal case, it means that he technically didn't meet Raz at all until the end of Psychonauts 2, when he's returned to his body after Gristol's removal. To say he (or rather Gristol) is shocked would be an understatement. Meet the In-Laws: During the ending of Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin, much to Truman's surprise, Lili introduced Raz to him as her boyfriend.Ironic Name: His body was controlled by Gristol Malik, the Big Bad of 2, so, basically, he wasn't really the true man known as Truman.He spends the entirety of the second game stuck inside a box. Grand Theft Me: He fell victim to this during the events of In the Rhombus of Ruin, where Loboto kidnapped him and replaced Truman's brain with the brain of his employer, Gristol.Family Eye Resemblance: Lili very clearly has his eyes.he also doesn't really care about Oleander's antics of the first game, implying that it wasn't the first time that the man attempted something like that. He's also one of the few people to pick up on Nick Johnsmith's character being a falsehood, although it's a downplayed case given that he didn't figure out that Nick was something worse than a mere Yes-Man before having his brain swapped out. His firing of Bob, while obviously a source of pain for both of them, turned out to be necessary given just how many problems Bob was implied to be causing due to his rampant alcoholism, a case of the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few. He recognized Hollis' potential as a psychic and that the situation she was in was due to a poorly thought out decision on her part rather than malice, and brought her into the Psychonauts where she would eventually prove him right by becoming the Second Head. Excellent Judge of Character: Truman has shown in both the memories of Hollis Forsythe and Bob Zanotto that he's good at judging the characters of people and doing what needs to be done.The Memory Vault version of it makes it clear that it was not a decision that Truman made easily. The Chains Of Command: In the past he was forced to fire his uncle Bob after his alcoholism started causing trouble with his work.Functionally though, he never get to fill the role properly, being absent in the first game, kidnapped in Rhombus of Ruin, and missing his brain in the second game. Big Good: He's the leader of the Psychonauts and is thus the biggest force for good in the games.After his brain is returned to his body in the postgame, the "evil" part no longer applies. Beard of Evil: Thanks to his circumstances as a target of body theft by the mole, his impressive facial hair is this.Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Lili used to view her father as this, as he would use the camp's jet to come and visit her until she told him to stop.The Grand Head of the Psychonauts, Lili's father and nephew to Bob Zanotto.
