He rides a subway train that never stops in any station, showing that he is concerned for his safety and security very highly, though it is unknown who he is afraid of.

Background
Not much is known about him. He is a member of the Academy City's Board of Directors. As a member, his tasked is to manage the city's food including the farm buildings. He also finances many of the defensive forces that protect the city's infrastructure. He himself secures a high level of safety by remaining in constant motion aboard a fully-armed battle train, though it is unknown why he does so.

Being the financier of the city's defensive forces probably allowed him to gain control of the rogue Anti-Skill group, DA. Reasoning that they could be useful as they are an organization with technology and difficulty, though underestimating his control over them.
