Eddy Costa was a wise and honorable man, as [[Jessica Jones]] considered the only "white hat in a sea of black hats." After being brainwashed by [[Kilgrave]], he suffered from nightmares of losing his free will until Jones killed him. Afterward, Costa believed that Jessica was a good person, and believed that he owed a debt since she had ridden the world of Kilgrave. Despite this, Costa was still lawful, as he and the police went on a hunt for [[Alisa Jones]] due to her killing his partner [[Ruth Sunday]]. Losing Sunday had a great effect on him, as he refused to listen to Jessica on the police going to kill her mother, stating that she killed "one of their own".
