History
Background
Throughout The Series
The Riot Plan
Pike is unwilling to trust Layton as they plan their riot against the leading elite of Snowpiercer, despite Layton's plan being well thought out and everyone else in the Tail being in agreement. After Layton is summoned to solve the murder by Melanie Cavill, Pike's distrust of Layton is amplified, and he takes this out on Josie, seemingly taking control of the Tail and ordering her to find another place to sleep whilst Layton is gone.
Later, Pike sets in motion Layton's plan, albeit modified. They are successful in killing six guards, however are confronted by more and eventually forced to surrender. Layton attempts to reason with Pike that there will be numerous deaths if he does not stand down, but Pike recants him as a traitor and threatens him with a weapon. Eventually, Layton is able to convince Pike that he can get inside knowledge of the train whilst solving the murder. Pike explains that Layton doesn't have the stomach for sustained cruelty and if they keep grinding, he will crumble.[2]
Revolution
When The Last Australian and Henry Klimpt attempt to release Pike from the Drawers, they find him gone. With Layton's rebellion having begun, Commander Grey and First feed Pike and seek his insight into Layton. Pike states that Layton has always been righteous in his politics while Pike's have never been so refined. Pike offers to give them Layton in exchange for more of the food.[3]
Personality
Pike is shown to be a battle-hardened man willing to do anything to survive.
Despite generally being a hard and apparently cold man, Pike has a softer more emotional side. The suicide of Old Ivan led to his revolt and after its failure, he was visibly emotional at the losses that they had suffered, showing that Pike likely cares more than he lets on and that his actions aren't all done for power.
Relationships
Andre Layton
Pike is distrustful of Layton, and openly opposes his revolution plan. He does, however, use the plan when he takes over the cart and realises this is his only option. He later threatens Layton, deeming him a traitor, however the two are able to reconcile their differences when Layton reveals that he is planning their next revolution.
