#bamf uma and harry fighting threats like pros

So I was looking through clips of D2 and I noticed an interesting dynamic in Uma’s crew that could really add to her backstory.

All of Uma’s crew members seem pretty damn loyal to her, with the exception of this random guy:

InWhat’s My Name, he’s immediately introduced to us as the potential (albeit minor and lesser-known) antagonist/opposition to Uma’s leadership. Here he is strutting his machismo about like some kind of testosterone-filled peacock:

…only to get immediately demolished by Harry and Uma’s joint awesome-ness…

Despite getting his ass handed to him, he persists to be a frankly irritating challenger to Uma’s leadership. This guy keeps cropping up all throughout What’s My Name in the most random places. I so-happened to be looking at this Huma scene of Harry and Uma clashing their swords together, and there he is again! Pay attention to our guy in the background to Harry’s right:

Here dude is again, darting forward to attack Uma with all his might. Just look at the combo of determination and crazy on this dude’s face; he is ready to do damage:

…fortunately for us, Harry is awesome, and knocks him back with his arm. This is seen in the video above. I never actually realized that Harry was simultaneously defending Uma and clashing swords with her. Pretty cool.

Another thing: When Ursula attacks with her tentacle to break up the happy group, the entire crew freaks out, ducks for cover, and then looks at the offending party (Ursula), and said offending party’s tentacle. But our machismo guy looks directly at Uma: he clearly blames Uma (and by extension her mother) for almost maiming everyone in the Shop. Again, just look at the way this guy is acting in the bottom left:

He is so annoyed with Uma for this situation, as if Ursula’s destruction is somehow Uma’s fault… or as if Uma intentionally let her mom swoop in here with her tentacle. You’ll notice in the second photo he’s literally pointing at someone with his fingers — this could be at Uma, or Ursula’s tentacle which just disappeared. There are clearly some serious leadership conflicts going on here, and it’s just another avenue I think would be really interesting to explore considering Uma’s backstory. (You know, if Disney ever gives Uma + crew a more developed one. *coughs pointedly*).

Further questions as follows:

Why is this dude so disloyal to Uma?

Does he want to be the captain of the crew, and considers himself more worthy or fit to lead for various undisclosed reasons?

Has he caused trouble for Uma in the past? Will he ever cause trouble in the future?

If both Harry and Uma know he is, on some level, a threat, why keep him around at all?
