Something interesting about Five that I've noticed as I've been watching the show is that he acts unemotional, especially toward his siblings (threatening to kill them when he gets upset, ignoring their relationship problems, that sort of thing) but he does everything for his family and people he doesn't know. Over the almost two seasons I've watched, he does everything in his power to prevent the apocalypse from happening and his response when people tell him "who cares?" is "7 billion people are going to die". When he thinks he doesn't have a choice, he makes a deal with the Handler to kill 12 people in exchange for his family and the world's safety even though he hates killing. When that falls through, Five sees another version of himself at the risk of no longer existing to get a time machine. He may be an older man, but that 13 year old version of him that was taught to help people no matter what is still there.
