Even his partner isn't exempt, and he explicitly states that he finds Davide most attractive when he is successful in his career. Love is just another transaction to Emmanuel.+ +He is implicitly presented as the most important person present on 4546B. It's also made inescapably clear that he is strongly disliked by most members of the crew. He thinks he shows empathy and positive thinking, but since he actively avoids interacting directly with his subordinates, he always comes across as smug and wildly disconnected from his crew's reality. That being one in which they have to work for a living while he watches, promises bonuses in 'the future,' but usually just doles out consequences for poor behavior, or — likely far worse in his opinion — lack of overt success.+ +He seems to believe that his 'management style' is uniquely suited to remote environments, suggesting that he has deluded himself into believing that he's has more acclaim than he really does, as Alterra clearly wanted him as far away from home as possible so that regardless of how effectively he manages a team, HQ wouldn't have to deal with his insufferable personality.+ +It should be noted that at no point is it revealed to the player what Emmanuel actually does beyond the abstract concept of 'management,' and there is no actual evidence of Emmanuel actually doing anything of value for his team. As such, he is basically the caricature of the useless manager siting in his comfy office while his employees do all the work and he gets all the credit.+ +## Databank+ +![EmmanuelDesjardinsENCY](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/EmmanuelDesjardinsENCY.png?bda2b)+ +**Human Resources and Communications Liaison**+ +*   **Reports to:** Alterra HQ+*   **Personality:** E5A4O1C5N1+*   **Source:** Scan nameplate at his office
