The problem is, Troy is no pussy. The fact that Dawe worked up the courage to tease Troy only after Caleb arrived shows that Troy could handle all the Jocks just as Chad could and just as MC can if the player chooses.
Not exactly, it's unlikely that Troy can handle all of them, even if low-skilled MC took him down. You can't call Troy very strong.
It's just that Dawe is a fucking rat, a coward and a cunt.
Remember how Dawe fights: he hits the balls (Tommy) or tries to attack unexpectedly while the victim doesn't suspect it (MC in Ep. 2 and also Jamie in Ep. 5). Dawe is a weakling and his physique is not athletic at all - he got into the alphas most likely through connections. I hate this guy.
In the presence of Caleb and other jocks, he is certainly much bolder, but it is unlikely that Caleb is his bodyguard.
