Definitely. Around the time of the ye olde scribs drabble meme, I actually wrote out a confrontation between a scratched-swap between Donovan and his Guardian. He was pretty much a badass chief of police who expected the worst from people and positively fucking hated his charge's optimism towards humanity because bluh bluh its wrong bluh. But even in spite of that, he's still the same douchebag with a heart of gold (bronze might be a bit more accurate...), it's just buried under heaps of lineface.
