Enneagram Typing, The Evil Within 2 (Psycho Break): Seb and Stefano
Sebastian Castellanos
8w9: Sebastian has a kind of stoic strength. He does what needs to be done without quibbling and is generally calm but carries enough aggression in reserve to tap into when necessary. He is more oriented toward people (ie family) than experiences/items (being hooked into STEM is a pretty rare and unusual experience, but he holds no awe, nor does he even reflect on the weight of the experience at all really). He is stubborn, poker faced, but readily voices his opinions, even in the face of a hostile opponent. He is straight forward with little tolerance for games and subtlety, instead prefering face value. He has a tendancy to push in order to get truth/reactions (such as when he meets the first Mobius operative). Sebastian is also protective and has a soft side which is reserved for those close to him. Some people might try to type him as a 6, but Sebastian is too decisive and lacks the ambivalance or the need to “puff himself up” by displays of strength. He doesn’t rebel for the sake of proving his own independance - when he acts with power/agression, it is for a purpose, to get shit done, not just to reassure himself. 6s have a tendancy to need to “refuel” their sense of security/strength regularly, either by seeking reassurance of others faith in them, or by acting out in some way. Sebastian does not do this.
SP/SO: Sebastians wife was also a part of the police department, which can lead us to deduce that part of the reason they chose eachother was because of common interests/beliefs/chosen lifestyle. He seems to have a lack of interest in being swept up in the primal (that we’ve seen) unless pushed to the breaking point, and has a wall up to keep people from getting too close/prevent being sucked in to anything too intense. He is largely oblivious to the intensity of Stephano’s focus on him.
Stefano Valentini
4w3: The self absorption of the 4 paired with the self-display of a 3. Stefano is creative and driven to leave a legacy. Despite claiming that Sebastian is his art (in human speak, that would be victim), his actions speak to another, less conscious desire (though not one that negates Sebastian being his victim, just dual-roles him). Sebastian becomes his unsolicited audience (he torments him, but even more than that, he consistantly and compulsively sticks his art in Sebastians face), because he needs an external witness (3 wing). He pretends not to care about the opinions of others regarding him/his work, but then reacts agressively when his desired reaction is not given (such as to Sebastians “rejection”/unwillingness to offer desired attention/play Stefanos games), proving that he is in fact quite concerned and even sensitive as to how he is perceived by others (especially his chosen audience). Regardless of this sensitivity, he remains competitive in his desire to prove himself and compelled to seek attention and admiration for his work. He is the epitome of a dramatic exhibitionist, extravagant and narcissistic. He has aristocratic taste and an equally elaborate self presentation. He is a murderous peacock. If Loki and Hannibal Lecter had a son, it would be Stefano Valentini.
SX/SO has no real awareness of own physical weaknesses/risks. Showy/peacocky, intense and overly open. “THIS IS ME” - as soon as you meet him. Lack of forethought/connection to the necessities required for survival, or survival in general. A desire for influence, difficulty with self regulation. Disinterest in mundane aspects of life. Laissez faire/unconcerned demeanor, as if “knowing” he will get what he wants and everything will turn out in his best interest.
