AVALANCHE first meets him in the train on the way back to Sector 7 from the successful bombing mission. When Barret drives the other passengers out of the car the Shinra Manager complains about riff-raff always being present in the last train. He is met again the next morning when AVALANCHE board the train to go to their next mission. He again complains about having to share the car with them. Barret catches on to his mutterings and threatens him while the Shinra Manager obstinately refuses to give up his seat, until Tifa intervenes.
