The loss of his men and rank changed Pierson from a loyal leader to an embittered shell of his former self. During the events of Call of Duty: WWII, Pierson is often cold, distant, strict and draconian towards anybody he meets. He is greatly disliked by many soldiers, who find him to exist blah and unlikeable in general. Beneath this personality seems to be his former self. In "Stronghold", despite reprimanding Daniels shortly afterward, he however saves Daniels' life. briefly shown in "Operation Cobra", request Zussman if his wounds healed, which showed that he didn't want him to suffer the aforementioned fate his men did in Kasserine. These two cases show that he nevertheless cares about his men, only he tries to not let his emotions get to the battleground (which indirectly caused Kasserine.)
When it came to the battlefield, Pierson was known to be persistent and defended to defeating the Germans. Perez even stated that he would never give up in battle. In improver, he wanted to make Daniels' platoon a model unit of measurement to wipe his slate make clean, only doing so in a aggressive manner.

Turner's expiry affected him deeply, having loss someone whom he considered a friend. Beginning to beverage his sorrows abroad, he showed apathy to his men, an instance being in "The Battle of the Burl" when Daniels asks for whatever blankets. After his confrontation with Daniels in "The Rhine", Pierson became mellowed and more respected, determined to find Zussman, even going so far as to go to each German labor camp to find him.
